USDJPY
Seriously, the spreads on USDJPY right now are just criminal. I swear, the moment I try to enter a trade, it widens like crazy. Then you get slippage on top of that if you're lucky. Makes it impossibl...

Hey @slewis596, I totally get what you mean about entering at the worst possible time. It's like the market has a personal vendetta against my stop losses! I also got caught out trying to buy USDJPY o...

Yeah @ellaroberts53, that spike on Friday felt super fake. I was watching USDJPY and it just screamed 'trap' to me too. Glad I didn't get caught in that rush higher.

I'm trying this thing where I don't go all-in on a trade. If I see gold looking like it's going to go up, I'll buy a small amount, and then if it keeps moving higher, I add a little more. It seems saf...

Hey @jessicajones73, I totally feel you on the weekend drag. It's like my brain is already on Monday morning, trying to figure out what fresh hell XAUUSD will unleash. That Friday close was brutal, an...

I've been watching this 4500 area on XAUUSD. It feels like a big psychological level, and it's also right around where the 50-day SMA was sitting earlier. We saw a bit of a pop above it this afternoon...

Hey @gclarke625, I'm also watching gold like a hawk. Seeing a bit of a descending triangle forming on the H1 chart, with the price bouncing between a flat support around 4880 and a downward sloping re...

Honestly, this feels like that weird quiet before a hurricane, doesn't it @coreshift364? Like the market's just holding its breath, waiting for the Fed to drop something. All this talk about sticky in...

My trading strategy today has been… let’s just say ‘creative’. I saw gold dip and thought, ‘Ah, a classic buy the dip opportunity!’ So I went long, feeling all smart. Then, oops, it dipped some more. ...

Anyone else worried about a potential gap down on Monday? With the Canadian economic news still fresh, I'm wondering if that might spook investors and send gold lower. Thinking of adjusting my stop lo...

@leomorris89 I feel you on the weekend boredom! I've been staring at these charts all day too. Seriously, what else is there to do? haha. I'm also holding a position, but I'm not as confident about a ...

@MiaA26 Indecisive is a good word for it! I was looking at the RSI(14) which is at 66... not quite overbought, but getting there. If we don't see some bullish volume soon, I think a pullback is inevit...

Anyone else getting flashbacks to that consolidation period in USDJPY back in early 2023? Seems like we're in a similar holding pattern now. RSI is neutral, SMAs are converging... Might be a good time...

@mthomas457 I agree that risk management is paramount right now, especially with the news about Iran. I'm also eyeing a potential short below 152.50, but I'm a bit hesitant with the overall bullish tr...

Just opened a long position on USDJPY at 156.25. TP around 156.50, SL at 156.10. Let's see if this bullish momentum continues! Wish me luck!

Weekly close wasn't too bad, all things considered. The DXY seems to be hovering right around that 50-day SMA at 97.47. Gonna keep an eye on that level next week, could be a decent pivot point. Hopefu...

I'm wondering if we'll see a push towards 97.60 next week, maybe even test that R2 pivot point. RSI is still relatively neutral, so there's room for movement either way. Just hoping for some clear dir...

@nmitchell841, that's a pretty solid plan. I like the idea of watching for a break below 96.50. A short position with a tight SL at 96.65 seems reasonable, especially if the dollar starts to weaken. T...
