Since the weekend I had spoken in length in the London FXBootcamp session about seriously developing 4hour MACD divergence on every Japanese Yen pairing I could pull up. About a third of the way into today’s London session we began to see hints of a change in direction, such as USD/JPY having an hourly lower high, then breaking it’s recent price trap’ support level in the 15m chart. In class we covered the trade plans for shorting the GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY, and USD/JPY, and any trader could have done the same on any or even a basket of JPY pairs. In this video however, I will cover just the GBP/JPY. I will discuss and show in detail what caused us to both look for the short ‘clue train’ in the first place, and ultimately the actual entry/trigger criteria we used to short the GBP/JPY , risking just 20 or so pips, amounting to a fairly painless ride to just over 100 pips, before offering another pullback for an additional 90 pips reload. Very nice trading session indeed for London, certainly well deserved after the choppy sessions we have seen of late in the London time frame. FXBootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens

I’m reducing my long USD/CHF position
I have been in the money on this trade for a total of about 11 minutes and that is starting to grate. EUR/CHF is grinding lower and everyone I know is either long or square EUR/CHF, which is a bit of a worry. With cable and AUD/USD showing no signs of backing off, I’m reducing this position...
