Bank of Japan Intervention Past and Present
16/09/10 08:14
The BoJ intervened in the currency market yesterday
during our live Pro Traders Club session. Under the
direction of the Minister of Finance, the BoJ appears
to have taken a slightly different approach to
intervention then the strategies used in the
2002-2004 period. Although the specifics of the
intervention are unknown to the market, wire reports
of continued but intermittent intervention in the
London and NY trading sessions. In historic calls for
intervention, approaches were more "one off"
injections. Often at times of very thin trading to
have most impact. Other approaches included frequent
short spikes during heavy volume to shake out
speculators. In the case of current JPY selling, it
is perceived that the BoJ has committed significant
capital for continuous injections to the point of
hitting emotional triggers in the market. The
challenge is that the power behind JPY buying is more
commercial than speculative, which will continue as a
sustainable force underpinning the JPY.

Long AUD/JPY Trade Done
29/10/08 19:00
Hello Pro Traders Club Member
AUD/JPY moves 800 pips from trade call level.
As you recall, i suggested a long trade on AUD/JPY or short JPY on other crosses. Due to the intense nature of the markets recently, i regret that i did not have time to produce a PTC video to explain the trade and its parameters. Any time a trade suggestion is made, in any capacity, there will be blind aspects of the trade to everyone with the exception of the individual who has called the trade, because we all view the market and price action differently.

Start Selling JPY, particularly against high yeilders
24/10/08 09:59
Hello Traders,
Start Selling JPY, particularly against high yeilders - Long > AUDJPY
We can start to build some traunches on long AUDJPY starting here at 56.12 and lower only, currently it is NYSE market open, as I write this. Place 0.25:1 gearing on your traunches to 1:1 max (four traunches) risking max 2% of equity on total traunches. Take profit on each traunch separately as price moves above using discretion and price. Today should spike down and we should see an equities rally in the next 5 trading days. Look for carry this position for several weeks to a few months. I will update in Pro Traders Club.
Good Luck with your trading and be careful out there.

the negative sentiment and data. ADP employment

markets, much worse than expectation of -20k.
