Trading NZD / JPY - Letting It Run, Maybe
By Eliseo Agas | November 6, 2007
How much further can NZD/JPY and other Yen crosses continue going up from this point? Following up on my previous post, I’m roughly 130 PIPs in the money on my long position and holding.
The Daily and 4-hour charts are looking strong and so far the momentum is on my side (not to mention the carry). At this point there is no reason to question or second-guess the charts although one should always be prepared for the worst. The worst being that price action can turn on a dime and run against me without abandon.
I’ll watch for any early signs of weakness on the 4-hour charts before considering getting out of this trade. Additionally, if weakness develops and continues into the close of the trading session (5 PM New York time) I’d be much more motivated to close the trade. For those who follow my posts, you know that I’m an intermediate term swing/momentum style trader (typically holding for just a few days at a time). Not allowing large amounts of unrealized gains evaporate into thin air is a critical part of the approach since the window of opportunity for my trades can quickly close without much warning.
To be continued…
