Morning. Saxobank suggested resistance of USD/Yen at around 103.75 so I've shorted at 77. Had a nice lobng on yesterday at 103 which was just stopped out before going up (of course).

maggot,keep trying, with stops around big figs, sometimes pays to set a little wider than normal,today i went long usd chf @ 11910,felt it coud retest old supp res @ 11900,so set stop a bit wider,@ 11885,now if it broke thru 11900 and got a big sell i would be stopped out.. fair enough .but what happened is it went below 00,down to 11895 few stops prob taken out,,then up back thru oo and i sold @ 11918.... now if i set my stop say @118 98 id of been stopped out but would of had the right idea...sounds a bit like what is happening to you.
just soemtning to bear in mind just be a little bit cleve if setting stops around big figs or levels...

Thanks for the encouragement, mostrader. I simply need to be braver and allow an extra 10 points. My Dol/Yen stop is at 86; perhaps even that is too close? Trouble is I don't like losing money!

mostrader - 21 Jan 2005 09:05 - 2875 of 11056

yep magg , fx is diff everyone is the same but you need a diff way of thinking,i am still like you its tough but i knd of think that if i do 10 trades 3/4 may go wrong but it gives me a good indication of where mrk really is going...

as it sounds like you have right idea`s,but as you say need just to tweak your stops a tad

Any views on if 1.3 EUR/USD will be breached

Got a couple of buy orders to open @ 18600 and 18550. Don't see it reversing before it's tested 600. Only my opinion, of course.

Good luck to you knife catchers. Off to do some more boring stuff - will leave those orders in - see if they get triggered. Hope you guys have milked it before then.
