GBPJPY [1-3 weeks view] 

BRITISH POUND / JAPANESE YENICE

Description

Short GBPJPY
Entry: 136.810
SL: 138.680

Clean, Simple, Concise. That's how I like my charts.

Price has been trending downwards.
Despite price gapping lower and making a new low, price came back to cover the gap. This was to be expected as gaps are generally covered. This provided me for a re-entry to go with the trend.

I currently see price forming sort of a flag pattern which is a continuation pattern. Should price break below I would add to my positions to compound the profits. Further, price is holding nicely below it's natural moving average.

This trade has a very nice risk/reward profile.

Trade active

Trade active

Trade moving along very nicely.
Protected my position now. Even if price were to come back up, it'll still be overall profitable.

Trade closed: target reached

Final target reached!
That was a great run!

+5.41%

@Oeevault, You're welcome. Just trying to value add here and show how a proper institutional grade analysis is to be done.
Not spreading hate, but some charts out there are just really really messy.

@laughingchartist, Thank you - and those charts in negative subject lack most basic definitions such as Entry, Target and StopLoss Points - making the originator look a bit controversial in terms of respective knowledge level Congratulations on your successful transaction.

@Oeevault, to each their own... Some like to just show profits without showing their methods, some like to show both. Some like to show methods only. I'm just coming from a background where I have been drilled to try to keep my chart as neat and as clean as possible, yet showing the key elements in such a way that one look, my clients will understand why and how I entered. Thanks for your kind words nontheless!
