Trade #39: Buy EUR/JPY @108.48

jpyforexfan

It’s 06:42 GMT, Wednesday.
I just took the long side (again!) on EUR/JPY at 108.48 I have this inkling that the ECB (European Central Bank) is finally going to do something good about the euro very soon.
Stop loss is where it’s supposed to be as usual.
Target: up there somewhere.

Here’s the hourly chart as of now:

Japan’s unemployment rate rose in May to a seasonally adjusted 5.2%, according to government data released Tuesday, marking an increase from 5.1% in April and confounding expectations for a drop in the jobless rate. Industrial production fell by 0.1% in May from April, according to a separately released report. See full story on Japan economic data.

Trade #38: Didn’t work out.

The dojis I was seeing turned out to be quite dodgy. Nasty little rascals. :-)

In a nutshell, got stopped out for a 206-pip loss. Life is a breeze. For some.
