Target Hit.

EUR / JPY Update: Wednesday 12th December 2012 17:30hrs

EUR / JPY

Price has continued to make its way to the target of 108.80.

Today's high is 108.64 that is a profit in excess of 4%.

With the latest round of QE from the US I expect the target will be hit this evening

As you can see the Stochastic has remained overbought for the past 24hours, meaning that there has been no pullback, allowing a good risk reward entry.

If I had just jumped in at the market price of 107.05 the stop loss would have been 65 pips meaning a move of 325 pips would be required to make 5%

I was close, but no cigar on this occasion.

I will update again when the next strategy trade has been identified

Have a good evening

AUD / JPY

Little has changed since my last post.

Price remains supported and at the top of yesterdays move up.

We still need the to break the resistance at 94.15, before make a final move to the target level of 94.95

Chart below:


There is no further AUD or JPY news out this week, so I am hoping the equity indices will help me out by making a move, dragging this position with it. I will use the averages to trail the stop loss higher.

The stop is now at 83.30. Locking in 1% profit

I will update again this evening or before if the next strategy trade is identified.

AUD / JPY Update: Thursday 15th November 2012 18:52hrs

AUD / JPY

Price has remained supported throughout the day.

Yesterdays high has been taken out and the position is in profit by 2.5% at the time of writing.

Price needs to make a new high through 84.15 before making its way up to 84.95 our 5% target.

If and when price gets to the 5% target, I may consider holding the position. There is nothing on the chart that is saying price will be rejected at this level (94.95) so it would make sense to hold for as long as is possible. However we need to break up through 84.15 first.

Chart below:



I have moved the stop loss to 83.25, however I will review this and may move it higher to lock in more profit before the end of the day.

Have a good evening

Chart below:

 


The position is in profit by 1.6% at the time of writing.

My target is in place at 84.95 for 5%, however I will look to lock in profit as the trade develops over the next 24hrs.

I will update again on this position at the end of the day.

In the mean time I am looking for the next strategy trade and will post again when it has been identified.
