The USD/JPY is currently testing 78.6% intraday support, and according to GFT's timing/trend leading indicator, Foresight-A.I. ™, the pair is forecast to resume an intraday uptrend for the remainder of the NY session. We are currently long at 89.22 with stops set below this morning's low (also taking into account the possibility of a 161.8% ABCD extension). If prices reach new intraday lows below our 88.98 stop-loss, a potentially strong bearish continuation move may be in progress. Otherwise, we'll look to move stops to break-even if prices rally to 89.48, and look to take profits at 89.66 (T1), 89.94 (T2) depending on where prices are at towards the end of the NY session.

Potential Strategy : Buy at market (88.22) risking 88.98 targeting 89.66 (T1), 93.82 (T2)...stops to break-even at 89.48.

hi fishman, thanks for the great feedback, and nice job staying in the long position beyond T2! The wide-ranging candle prior to T2 is usually a good sign that a continuation move is in progress thus a good reason to hold onto the buy, and it is also the reason that Brad's sell at 90.11 was invalidated (as he mentions in his article). Congrats!

Hi Roger, I am up to 90.70 as of 2pm EDT! Thank you for the trade! Doesn't that mean the USD/JPY short at 90.11 should be open and stopped out? It is still on the recommended trades. Well you guys are a godsend and I thank you!!!

What is social bookmarking?

Social bookmarking refers to a method you can use to store, organize and manage bookmarks of web pages that interest you. These could be news articles, movie reviews, places you want to visit — any type of web page. The main advantage is that unlike traditional Internet bookmarks that are specific to one computer, you can use social bookmarking to add and access bookmarks from any computer with an Internet connection.

Another benefit of social bookmarking is the ability to share web pages with friends, family or anyone who has similar interests. Likewise, you can visit the pages that other social bookmarkers share with you.

All pages within our website include links to social bookmarking websites. These websites are free to use and require only a simple registration. This allows you to capture useful information you find on our website and share it with other traders like yourself. Your GFT bookmarks can become a reference if you have a question, want to revisit a concept that you found valuable or would like to tell someone about GFT.
