So simple — Such a simple but effective way! I didn't think about that - especially because I'm a short term trader on the 5,15,30 charts. zooming out really does help!! Thanks

LOL — hahah - I bet!
I'm just trying to figure out the retracement vs. reversals and how to pick them out. That is definitely a weakness of mineUSD/JPY Discussion

What?? — Dove, What's going on - it sounded to me like you were implying this was going to go up. Since then the EURJPY has fallen 55 PIPs and the USDJPY has fallen 25 PIPs

Down or Mixed? — From looking at the EURJPY, around 2:45pm EST, it fell 23 PIPs from its nice uptrend and fell under R1 which I have at 166.55 What I don't understand is - is this a buying opportunity, or a reversal of the trend, or is it ...

Good Advice — Seems I got one thing right then! I'm trying to consistently capture 20PIPs a day. I tend to do that in the mornings, but lose it in the afternoons. I guess the obvious answer is to quit trading in the afternoons

Charts — Thanks!! It helps to correlate these pairs. It seems at the beginning of the London/US session, you can pretty much tell where the pair is going to go for the most part, it's just figuring out what to do when the pair loses steam.

Down? — Looks like we just fell under 107.00 again Think we are heading down back to the 106.50 level?

I guess we figure who is left to buy after 2.5 solid up days. :-) With that said, I closed my short I had and went long at 107.63 - It looks to be heading towards up to R1 at 107.78

DO IT!!!!! — Dove, PLEASE take Bruce up on his offer to have a face-off!!! This would be the ultimate fight - fundamentals vs. technicals! We need some sort of entertainment while all the TV shows are in re-runs for the summer. *grin* And - we ...

Wish you luck — Been there buddy on the margin call. Overconfidence can be a bad,bad thing. I do hope this bloated pair comes down and bails you out though. My story didn't have as happy of an ending.

To me though - it looks like the EUR/USD is way oversold, and the USD/JPY is way overbought. Looks like a timebomb waiting for both pairs to reverse. I'm sure I'm probably missing something though - is there any kind of indicator you are wanting to ...

Hey Dove! Quick question - what would you need to see happen on the USD/JPY to see the trend reverse?

Overbought? — Pulling up a 5,3,3 Stoch. on the USD/JPY - every chart is above 80 except for the M1! And the stupid thing still isn't coming down! *hahha* I'm currently short at 107.26

Strong Dollar — I agree - USD/JPY just wants to go up from the looks of it, but most of the talk on here as been 'short'. Eventually it will come down for 50-100 PIPs, but then come back strong with a 200PIP gain. USD/JPY is almost at it's ...
