    He is right - you will need a reloading of the OS and programs. Use a brand new hard drive. Hard drives have a certain life expectancy and the old one is well into it. It would be very foolish not to. Have him install the old hard drive as a secondary to the new one so you can transfer your old...

    Fundamental vs. Technical

    My simplistic answer is - while fundamentals drive FX and induce it's volatiliy, it adheres strongly to basic and advanced technical analysis.

    Absolute text book price action on the chart and tape @ 213.5 at the moment. It's a very interesting study for those interested.

    Agreed. If I didn't have a position I'd wait and see what the first few hours brings and how 213.5 plays out. I'd also be cautious of the typical late friday short covering.

    Did you sleep yet? What time zone R U in? FWIW, 213.5 held to the pip for trade Trade Balance. I'm interested to see if it will at 9:30.

    Still short and well in profit. Stops have been adjusted downward. Yesterdays analysis proved correct with a perfect test of the lower trendline. 213.50 is now R1 which will be tested very shortly. If it holds there is more downside. However, there is no S1 to speak of and price has been riding...

    Still short but gave back some of my gain in the past few hours. System isn't showing any signs of throwing in the towel yet. That 100p rally seems exhausted. EY broke the 161.75 R1 which was quite significant and might test the 162.30 shortly. Next up is 164.

    Downside risk being limited should be a given. My post was a snapshot of the current price action at that time but I don't see anything bullish about the 4 hour at this very moment. More of a serious consolidation with a downward flavor. Trendline break is the upward key and a close below...

    GBP/JPY Trading 2008

    213.5 remain as support but more importantly ... Looking at a 4HR chart 213.80 has acted as an even more significant price point. Price has consolidated between 213.80 and has been pushing up against the top of a trendline channel that extends back all the way to 228.30 forming a triangle...

    GBP/JPY Trading 2008

    I agree for the most part but at the same time how do the actual calls benifit. If I post "I just went short at xxx.xx" who learned from that and what could they possibly have learned? Hopefully people aren't buying and selling any call made here. However some might be and I wouldn't want the...

    GBP/JPY Trading 2008

    It was my understanding (and we seemed to be in agreement) that this thread was to be about the fundamental and technical analysis of GY with the goal toward improving everyone's trading with posting PnL being an adjunct. It's now the "Live Calls on GBP/JPY" thread? I fail to see the benifit of...

    If everyone is in agreement then fine by me. I trade most all of the JPY crosses. Some semi-auto so I could do some live calls on them. Any reading material on currency options?

    GBP/JPY Trading 2008

    Currently short from 214.78 for +79 as I type. Testing 213.80 as we speak. 213.50 is the heavy support. If that's broken we might see 210 in the near future. Hopefully not before atticus cashes his option.

    I questioned the same when I got my first statement but that's how they do it post confirms. It's odd but has no effect elsewhere.

    GBP/JPY Trading 2008

    OK Atticus, I accept if in that this is sincere, which I'll assume it is. We good now. I can run that stat later in software but I can tell you that I have an average win ratio of over 65% with the win PnL averaging 6x larger than the loss PnL. Maybe on the high end of typical for a trend...
