Pick a pair

I am starting off with GBP/JPY-all scalp lines therefore the target and stop for all of them is 50 pips.

NickB- 14th June:-

1. Long @ 162.59 – average line

This line formed last week. It is the new 2009 yearly high but it has not had a decent reversal. I would much rather see the price head away from this line before it approaches it again but I will trade it either way. That being said I will obviously have much more confidence in the line if the price moves away from it first.

2. Short @ 154.82 – average line

This line formed the week before last and it seems quite good. We see a nice strong move towards the line, two candle wicks hitting it followed be a strong reversal.

This line looks like a great trade opportunity so be ready for it.

3. Short @ 142.95 – strong line

This line has been around for a few weeks now it looks like a good line and I will trade it if the price somehow magically gets down there this week. Watch out though this area has proven to be very tough to break through. I will exercise extreme caution with this trade.

3. Short @ 139.00 – strong line

Metalhawk- 15th & 17th June

GBP/JPY:

1. Short @ 154.90

That’s it. Some may intend to trade the yearly high, but not me. I don’t usually like those unless they are a clear, clean scalp formation, and the 162.55 just doesn’t do it for me.

- long @ 160.28 (if you can monitor this trade, you may want to keep an eye out for the 160.45/50 level)
- short @ 156.43
