You have single handedly ruined this thread. This thread was not intended for predictions on the gbp/jpy, there are plenty of those for your posts...

Hi Har,

Here's a matchup I did between North Finance and FxPro

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...07#post1893107

FxPro seems to have better customer service and credit card funding.

Neither have accounts smaller than a mini.

Mig also trades metals but no stock indices. The Dow is going to fall off
of a cliff soon, so trading the Dow mini may be very profitable.

If Metals = Gold&Silver(precious Metals) then Oanda has both.

Silver is tradeable in tiny amounts(cents per $), Gold is smallest of 1 Unit which is around 1:1 of the Gold price for me(1$ moved Gold moves 0.68 EUR at 1 Unit - so around 1$ per 1$).

Since those are all priced in USD, over half of the price movement simply comes from USD weakness, which would be just as well tradeable in USD pairs, too(EURUSD e.g. as the biggest slice of the USDX).
Trust price. Know yourself.

Several months ago, I saw this thread. and begin to learn and try this method to do demo trades. But I usually got lost.
Therefore, I am looking forward to be one of the students of JohnW.

I see a real nice setup on EUR/USD setting up at 1.5470 on the 30 min chart. If you decide to take this trade, I recommend that you hold the trade
back to the previous highs (450 pips up). I would use a 30 pip stop here, or you can just close out the trade if the breakout proves false. Personally. I think the price will retest the all-time highs.

I will also be watching for a breakout to the downside of the 1.5400 round number with a drop to the 50% fib level (225 pips) lower.

To Me, this is the perfect trade that JohnW would look for, and I also think this would be a high percentage winning trade, meaning that if you only took trades that have this type of setup you would approach a high % win factor, especially if the breakout occurs durng the London session.

The direction of the breakout may hinge on what the Fed does. In either direction this should be a fun trade. Enjoy and GL

I set up a sell at 1.5394.

A buy would go against JohnW's strategy as there is a daily trend down, not up.

Sorry, but you're wrong about the trend, the 50 sma is over the 100 sma
and they are both pointing up,as John's method indicates they should for a daily uptrend, its rather simple to see when using moving averages. If the tips
of the 50 and 100 sma's were pointing down then the "bias" would be down, but they aren't, so they do indicate an uptrend and an up bias.
A breakout will work in either direction, depending on which way the price is manipulated. IMHO

Quoting JohnW
Not necessarily. Many people will use bias as a trend indicator, but nothing beats looking at a chart from a distance of about 5 feet. If you can't see a trend there, pick another pair.
I think John is looking at the daily trend, and he's not just using the 100 sma.

FXNorm -

The things I look at are:

The daily trend (draw trendlines)
30M trend (draw trendlines)
Am I trading against the carry or with it
Where is the next S/R level if I am filled
Will I break a minor (30M) trend and an S/R level when filled
Will I break a major (Daily) trend and an S/R level when filled

There is no such thing as a totally mechanical trading system. All of the ones I bought over the years that claimed to be non-discretionary (like MA crossovers, candle patterns, MACD signals, etc, etc) had some discretionary elements to them (like which time frame). I look at setups and select the best pair to trade. Best pair means best trend, most hits on S/R level, no pending big news events, etc. How many traders had buy stops in place above the USD/JPY level that broke last Friday (see the 30M chart). Trading successfully requires thought. Ignore the vendors telling you that this is easy, that you can "learn to trade like a pro in and hour", that if you just plug in these "secret" indicators that "banks don't want you to know" you will make 1000's of pips per month.
Again he mentions daily trend and suggests trendlines.

Do you just look at the 50 and 100 sma and that's it on daily? I havent' been doing that, but if that is the system please let me know. I have been fuzzy on that aspect and how important it is, although JohnW states it's critical I haven't quite grasped it. It seems odd to go against several days of a downturn just because the 50 and 100 are up.

Thanks

Warning!

This may be your last chance to buy silver at a great price, whether it be on ebay or thru one of the brokers that have been mentioned. For Newbie's I recommend going with the company that seeking light mentioned,
Oanda. They allow you to trade in lots smaller than a mini (500 ounces), that is a BIG advantage to someone new to the markets, because most Newbie's lose their butts. Sorry to say, you Newbie's don't have a clue to what you're doing, so, stick with a micro account at Oanda untill you learn.
The US economy is in incredibly bad shape. Delta Airlines just announced its trying to dump 30,000 employee's because of high fuel prices, and thats only ONE COMPANY out of thousands, so you can imagine what the trickle down effect will have when many more companies try to stay afloat.
The Federal Reserve is going to keep throwing everything it has into the marketplace to keep the dollar from breakng below 70 and the Dow from breaking below 11,600, so get used to some wild rides until the Fed runs out of Idea's, and they will. Once the dollar breaks 70 and the Dow breaks 11,600 (new low) the market will start to crash BIGTIME, then a break of 10,000 (psychological round number) will cause panic, and people will bail out of dollars in a big way, maybe into the euro and the pound, but certainly into gold and silver.
So, keep an eye on 70 on the dollar and 11,600 on the Dow. As prices approach those numbers the Fed will spring into action just as they have been, they're desparate, They know what it means if those key numbers are broken...sorry to say, they will be. Playing the currency markets will be wild and wooly, the swings are going to be incredible. GL

This all of course, In My Humble Opinion - Norm
