trading is boll ocks at times
It certainly is, especially at our 'pipe end' of the food chain..

airline crew LF, so i am all over the world but london is my base, its a bit of a hindernce ssometimes as when your on a plane you cant trade and sometime zones are not great especially for me i find the far east morning session a bit boring
If I hear this on my next flight I'll be sure to say hi!
"Hello everyone this is your captain. We'll be arriving at our destination soon. The dollar f***'ed me on the way over so I'm down 20 pips. Hehe, sorry about the turbulance, I had to let go of the wheel to cover my pound short. Don't worry about the rough landing, the yen is steady and I'm just keeping my nose up. Have a nice day."

Can I ask why you took the UJ, do you scan several pairs looking for your set up and take the trade irrespective of what pair it is?
hi black swan
i have six pairs on my radar, eur/usd, gbp/usd, eur/gbp, usd/jpy eur/jpy and aud/usd
alos i trade dax, ftse dow and s and p
i am scanning looking for pin bars of pivots, s1 or s2 either with the trend or against the trend i dont mind
i have another couple of setups to but i find the pins the most successful, it is very easy to spot, stops are easy to place (just under the pin) targets can be judged (either back to a pivot point or what every a major support area)so you know your risk reward
this can all be calculated very quickly when you see a pin
here is my chart of the usd/jpy trade
