一个笨蛋的股指交易记录-------地狱级炒手

I beg to differ on the Japanese fundamentals part...data out of Japan hasn't really had an impact in a looooooong time. The only factors I can see possibly coming in to play are policy actions by the Bank of Japan, which are unlikely to happen any time soon. Other than that, the only real contributors to yen strength have been bouts of risk aversion.

Looking at GBPJPY on a short time frame (20 min), the pair appears to be holding within a descending triangle as trendline resistance at approx 216.15 keeps price contained. This pattern tends to have bearish implications, so we'll see if this precedes a break below 213.50.Attached Images







With the recent break above falling trendline resistance, yes, I agree that there is upside potential in the near-term. However, I think GBPJPY will have a tough time breaking through the 217 level where we have the confluence of the 23.6% fib of 228.36 - 213.58 and another falling trendline.

clauswu, sorry for the delayed response. With my overall bias on GBPJPY to the downside, I'm not jumping to get into long positions of any sort unless it's a glaringly obvious move. On a short-term timeframe (20 min), it looks like we may have a bit of a head-and-shoulders pattern, with the neckline at approx 214.50. A break below this level targets 213.50.

Edit: GBPJPY made a break below noted support literally within 2 seconds of my original post, and I do still think we'll see the pair test the 1/3 and 1/4 lows near 213.50. However, if we see a bounce from these levels towards 217.50/218, I see this as an opportunity to enter a short position.

Well, you started my night off with a good laugh, that's for sure (not the analysis...but your initial commentary).

Overall, I agree jsgehrke. Underlying support 213.00/50 is pretty solid, and I just noticed trendline support that dates all the way back to 10/2003 (there was one false break in July 2005). The case can definitely be made for a rebound from these levels. I suppose the BOE decision could change my opinion about this, but I'd set an initial target of 222.35, secondary target of 226.81/227.85. This scenario could take a bit of time to play out, but I do imagine it would be done by the end of the first quarter.Attached Images

probable bearish to wave c and then bullish

Thought I would make an attempt at an analysis with the pair breaking below support at 210.00 this afternoon I would say that resistance is now around 211.00. A short trade with an entry point around 210.90 just below this resistance level should be profitable and could be rode all the way to a possible lower level below the 200.00 level.

jsgehrke, I've attached a chart noting the fib level you talked about in your post. Given the consolidations we're seeing in GBPJPY, GBPUSD, and USDJPY, I see some bullish potential for GBPJPY, but not so much that I'm aching to go long. If anything, I'll be looking to sell any major rallies...much more of a wait-and-see approach. From a risk/reward standpoint, I like GBPUSD long (short-term). A break below 1.95 is an obvious sign that I'm wrong...Attached Images

It appeared the low due at 7:00 ET was early, so I bought at 208.57 and exited for +50 pips because of the short term over bought situation, and a possible bounce down from resistance at 209.24. I generally go for 100 pips. Maybe another buy opportunity in a few hours.

LL LH HH HL is an indicator in the software, I have it set to calculate automatically... There are a couple settings I can use but the auto seems to be preferred... That same indicator will put the Fib calculations. I will post an example

Harmonics
Some people are able to use Harmonics to assist their trading, similar to Murrey Math, feeling that the 1.000 is good for major support and resistance...

I have not used the system to any great extent myself, but I like to keep this chart as a guide as to what may be occurring.....

Hopefully some ideas will appear that will benefit all of us....

I have read through many of the posts in this thread and there are some great insights.

Big Mike, I'm not sure where your stop was or where you got in (212?), but I do think there is some upside potential for GBPJPY to 213.60, especially if it holds above trendline support around 210.95. However, given my downside bias for this pair, I'm simply waiting for a good opportunity to go short.Attached Images
