Looking at the 4H chart, I couldn’t really see any clarity in the situation of USDJPY, don’t know whether to Long or Short.
However, go to the 15M chart, then, all of a sudden clarity comes into the picture. The spot rate cut above the 50MA at 112.87.
I was out for lunch so couldn’t really do anything, however, I decided to put in a Long, Stop If Bid at 112.90 with SL at 112.70.
As it turned out, my trade was triggered and I am now Long USDJPY at 112.90. Current spot is at 113.28. Let’s follow the spot position and see what happens.
Cheers to all.
I was suffering from insomnia last night and couldn’t sleep, so I decided to turn on my computer at 4am in the morning.
Straight away I noticed that the USDJPY had crossed both the SMA 50 and SMA 200 moving averages.
I immediately gave chase and placed a Long USDJPY at 113.50.
I squared the position before leaving for my 9 holes golf game at 10:30am at 114.68 and locked in a trading profit of 1.18yen!!!
Tonight, Theresa May is addressing the nation on how she is going to implement Brexit.
She mentioned that the Government will put the final Brexit deal to a vote in both houses of parliament.
Does this mean that there is a possibility of a repeal in the Brexit?
Market seems to like what is it hearing from Theresa May.
I decided to place a straddle when her speech started with the following details: –
GBPUSD: Stop if Offered at 1.2120 (SL 1.2140), Spot at 1.2158, Stop if Bid at 1.2175 (SL1.2145)
My Bid was triggered and I rode it up till I squared the position at 1.2325 (High was 1.2346) for a trading profit of 150bps!!!
Thank you Theresa May and what a trade to start the Year of the Rooster!!!
