Hey Guys,

I have started trading EUR/JPY recently. I am not doing analysis for it since I am only testing at the moment but so far its going well.

This was a pretty good trade I got a late entry so I ended up making 22 pips which is 8 pips shy of the 30 pip target. Either way it was a profitable trade. Check it out:

Enjoy this post? Then leave a comment and say thanks!

Good one again, helps crystalise, “how to trade” thanks Nick

Sonya July 27, 2009 at 7:10 am

Really interesting to watch. Thanks Nick.

Nice trade and thanks for sharing.

I was wondering why you dont set a fixed take profit and avoid potential slippage. I understand the logic for the stops.

Cheers.

Good one Nick

Rodney July 27, 2009 at 8:32 am

Thanks very much Nick.

Matt July 27, 2009 at 8:57 am

Thanks for the video – always nice to see the action.

I like this pair due to the lower spread for some smaller target scalping I do.

I was in the chatroom when Nick announced this trade in case anyone wonders about the ‘veracity’ of the trade. This one is al fresco on the hoof, flopping on the deck fresh. It helps to see a pro take his profits. Always enjoy your videos Nick.

Live long and prosper

Why do you choose the TP/SL = 30? Thought it was 50……thanks

Zac July 27, 2009 at 10:33 am

Nick,

Two questions:

Are you using the same scalp line parameters (adjusted for ADR of course) we all know from the NickB method ?

Do you use a rough %-of-account to size your stop according to pips risked?

The videos rock! Thanks so much.

Nick,

I trade EJ for some time actualy from the time I traded GJ and my take profit on this pair with high rate of success is 40 pips.

Thanks for sharing this trade with us Nick!

pinetree July 27, 2009 at 2:25 pm

ej doesn’t move as much as gj and is much slower.

NickB July 27, 2009 at 2:52 pm

@Jac:

This is a EUR/JPY trade not GBP/JPY so the targets are different since it is a slower moving pair.

monster July 27, 2009 at 2:57 pm

Nick,

wondering if you still trade GBP/USD, and if so, why would you keep your cable tgt for 50 pips….doesn’t E/J move quicker than Cable?

NickB July 27, 2009 at 2:58 pm

@Zac:

Yes I am using the same type of scalp lines.

I risk roughly 5% of my account per trade.

Zac July 27, 2009 at 3:36 pm

Thanks Nick!!!

Much appreciated. I don’t feel so bad with my higher % now… I’m operating under the logic that my account’s not huge, so 5% isn’t either. When I’m trading M’s it’ll be a different story ;-)

Will July 27, 2009 at 3:59 pm

Thanks Nick, great to see you in action again.
Cheers

Cheryl July 27, 2009 at 5:01 pm

Will be interested to hear of your progress with ej. I was watching and trading it until I came to your site, then finally let it drop!
Thanks for sharing Nick.

Roberto July 27, 2009 at 5:51 pm

Just GREAT !!!………Thank you very much…..

Mark July 27, 2009 at 7:00 pm

WOW! Thanks Nick

Criton July 27, 2009 at 7:03 pm
