Thank you,
I appreciate the post.I have a juornal I keep and in almost every trade I get in I tell myself it is to early.But this one here isn't the case.I just flat out was going to jump in a trade in the middle of S&R.I guess I was looking at the 1 hour chart seeing it had allready hit the 158.50 3 times in the past 9 hours.But this is not such a strong signal at all,now that I look at it with your words of wisdom.Thanks for the guidence tony.I feel I am getting this down somewhat,but then come up with some stupid analysis like I just did.I got the knowlecge...I have probably read 1000 hour in the past 8 months.I just need to get the feel now,on the rythem of the market.I am 27 trades into my live account with, 22 wins 5 losses...time will see...thanks again

Frankly Josh at 22/5 you are doing real well and obviously have a feel for this so well done. Also dont be afraid to trust your instincts. I believe we train ourselves to see the charts in our own unique ways and if this is successful then off we go! There are no doubt some who would try a short off this overhead R and if they are confident based on their experience then so be it. I wouldnt for the reasons I outlined. In addition its NFP day. EY isnt that strongly traded even in the Asian session (overwhelmingly UY) and I suspect the market may do little ahead of the direction that NFP may give it later. Having said all of that of course who knows? Its all probability

I am not trying at all to tell you I know more than you..I am getting a feel for the market,bnut that is about it as of now.I get into good trades but get scared and jump out only to watch them take off and miss out on them.I need more confidence in my trading.but I really thank all of you that take part in this thread I have learned a great deal.....good trading!!

In any case this suggests the support is still strong in this area. Enter above, stop below.

For those who punt Pound/Yen, you might want to plot a marker along the 212.20. Jos especially has been active away from that level this month. It's a strong (intraday) fulcrum & Yen Bull defense camp.

For those looking at this pair from a slightly wider timeframe, keep tabs on:

205.40
213.50
221.10

They're all large (stop) build up zones which will attract fierce 2 way trade when they next come into view.

I wish I knew how to post up charts with Oanda but I don't I got some help from DD but it has not worked.

Josh have you tried downloading a version of metatrader 4
on demo, at least they have a print function.

Ok I know they aren't Oanda but they would be close
enough to illustrate your point.

Thanks for these jimmy, they are now marked on my charts.

Hello,
Thanks for the suggestion.I do have them already.I guess that is what I will do.I had thought of that I just wanted to figure out my Oanda charts.But I guess that is what I will do.I had contacted Oanda,and they told me to do what you had said.My screen freezes up for a few seconds then nothing happens.O'well sometimes you have to work with what you have!!Everyone have a good weekend and we will be in touch soon....josh

Hello,
I just wanted to post up a couple pics here.It looks like this pair is going to retrace a bit and hopefully fall back down.It may be approaching your fib level Tony of 78.6,and finding resistance at the 158.50.Is this what you are seeing or is there more to this story?

I see you've been successful at getting some charts up
joss, great.

I can only concur with your TA as it stands at the moment
158.50 seems to be a resistance point on EUR/JPY
looking back all last week it could not break through this level.

Keep watching if it breaks through who knows?

If it rebounds again?

[tonymand]

Yes Josh - did you take it?

[tonymand]

Exited this at be. Still further upside by the looks of it
