12-24-2011 8-57-37 PM

Hello everyone, hope the Christmas break has treated everyone good and you are not too full on Christmas Eve dinner.

My obession with 4H and Daily timeframes

11-24-2011 6-41-43 PM

Hey everyone, after almost 4 years of trading every known time frame to man, I have finally decided upon what to trade.

Over night the BOJ sold yen across the board causing a plummeting of the currency in the last few hours. We can see the GBP/JPY and USD/JPY have intense spikes of over 400 [...]
