Let me rephrase that for you: Markets are crazy this YEAR, hard to make good trades. 2015 has not been kind to me in general. But this isn't saying much, since I've only been trading seriously for 2 years now, with 1 year of demos.

Yeah. dunno why, but the ninja decided to let the bears take a light dip below 122. I have no idea why. MArket makers, probably. Update: reloaded at 184.290. Same targets, hard SL at 184.050

Goddamn it. Got hit with my SL because of that stupid dip in then yen pairs. Price didn't get filled out at SL....12 pips lower. Looking for reload
Dragon Riders GBP/JPYSeriously? Forced to TP at 184.28 instead of 184.40? I demand a refund :o

Noooo. Ally, don't do this to me. You're crushing my hopes and dreams, here. My dreams of a beautiful, solid green four hour candle shan't be denied.

184.50 hit. hoping to reach 185.30/20 in the next 3 hours (NY session usually never does anything in the last hour or so). Maybe Tokyo will show us some love for this pair. Come on, geppy! Show us why you earned the nickname "the dragon"! Currently, ...

True. If this was last year, I'd consider it good odds, But with all that's been happening in 2015, what with the SNB shock, BOE leaks, and not to mention global events, I've been preparing myself for worst case scenarios this year.Trading the euro ...

I'd say it's closer to being a watch rather than a DP; the main worry IMO is getting past the 184.00/70 deadlock for the intraday bounce. Hopefully we'll both be right in our analysis.

Testing 184....if this fails, I'll probably be on standby to leave my position. If it succeeds, targeting 184.60/50 and 185.30/20 as initial targets

Woke up to see shorts from 185.30 gone. I started panicking, thinking I got stopped out. Then I saw my balance and the TP target and knew better. Trying a long from 184, hard SL 183.70. TP targets are currently the fibonacci retracement areas from ...

I'd say it's a complete hit or miss for your wish - tomorrow's NFP Friday. It might just climb more without letting us buy lower, but you've still got your first long in place, right? You plan on keeping it through Friday? I blame my stupidity for ...

I'm waiting until the day is over before I start a trade in the gbp/jpy. Bought the euro from 1.0820 in hopes that the market makers will have one last spike (like they did last time in previous FOMC/ECB conferences. 500+pip movement cough cough). ...

Thinking about launching a short around 184.60/50 (my daily pivot) but hoping for 20-30pips higher. No positions right now, but I'm biased towards further downside from here, with an allowance for a small further climb of a couple ten pips before ...

Intraday? Yes, but only technically because we had a random spike in the yen pairs prior to this. It's not too surprising to see the spike negated after a central bank statement. Let the investors deal with the initial reaction. Overall? JPY going ...

Nothing too big to see here, folks. BOJ basically said they'll continue to do as they planned. Well except that one guy (Kiuchi) who was against this. Got overruled by everyone else though, so he doesn't count. Same target of inflation Same MMO ...

Ah, but at the same time, the value of holding USD goes up. More importantly, hiking rates in 2015 entails a sign of federal faith in the economy, which also attracts investors (flight to quality; EU is still in one giant mess; Draghi isn't too ...

I'm looking around 184.30/00 for my short targets. Kind of hoping that the market scrapes a bit below your target zone, so I can squeeze a couple dozen more pips

Well, usually they don't outright lie (usually), but USA and Europe also manipulate things for their own advantage. You can't trust the German ZEW reports, SNB, etc. I meant that they lie less. It's the lesser of 2 evil, basically.
China trade balance for September: CNY 376.2bn (expected is CNY 292.4bn)

It also depends on whether people believe this data from China is reliable as well. China has a habit of lying, and on occasions, the markets just ignored bullish news for the yuan, since they were simply unrealistic.
