AUDJPY - BO Update

Hi,

Interesting one for the FOREX traders. The Australian Dollar is looking strong across all pairs, No more so than

The Japanes Yen, where a Break Out move to the upside for the AUD. Enjoy the Clip below. The trade is beneath it.

Interesting. Following from your reply to me on AUD [Edit - sorry, must have been in the other thread] , I looked at AUD/JPY this morning (not one I had really looked at properly before), but I had missed the initial move, which you presumably profited from. Choppy little beggar isn't it?

I then wondered if it could make it past 80 and was going to ask you if you thought it would, but seeing your later posts, clearly you did/do. I see it's down a bit at the moment, but presumably may bounce back.

I did OK on AUD/USD overnight and this morning. I see it's paused for breath for the moment, although I'm still long (having taken some profit already).

I am Bearish JPY generally near term against most pairs, especially vs CHF and to a lessor degree the EUro too, but the Ozzie pair (AUDJPY) is looking ready to move soonest. So I expect to be Long AUD at some point soon against the JPY.

Why do you like it versus hte CHF?

I've been trading JPY weakness versus the NZD, and lesser extent AUD as well.
 
A break out Indeed ... Only downwards

I would love to tell you I had a reversal sell at my stop level, as I should for the occasional inverse break out.

Unfortunately in this instance I did not, and a loss accrued.

Nice thread.

Do you have any basic rules on placing your stop-loss, or do you do it entirely after assessing PA?

I place the stops technically prior to entry.

This trade has turned out a brilliant downside BO, on what seems like JPY strength.

This was a reversal missed, never mind a new opportunity awaits.
