【2/19 USD/JPY Scalp Points】
Thank you for your hard work! Now let's go with USD/JPY scalping again tonight!
First, here is today's Tokyo session overview.
Currently USD/JPY is around 155.15. This morning it started around 154.75, but in Tokyo trading the dollar weakened broadly due to hawkishness in the FOMC minutes released yesterday and Prime Minister Kishida’s reemergence of “responsible expansionary fiscal policy.
After rising to around 155.30 just after 13:00 Japan time, it has been somewhat range-bound, but there seems to be a mood that overseas players will buy higher levels afterward.
From the morning level it has risen about 40 pips to hand over to the overseas session.
Now, the points for tonight’s USD/JPY scalping.
● Moves around the London market open near 17:00
● Moves after the release of US initial jobless claims, US trade balance, and US Philadelphia Fed business index at around 22:30
● Moves near the New York market open (Dow opens at 23:30)
● Moves after the release of US leading indicators and US existing home sales pending at around 24:00

Other notes…
• Yesterday’s US FOMC minutes were hawkish, and expectations for earlier rate cuts in the US diminished

Tonight’s “1-minute chart scalping” will aim for moves around each market open plus the moves after 22:30 releases of US initial jobless claims, US trade balance, and US Philadelphia Fed index, and after 24:00 releases of US leading indicators and US existing home sales pending. For users of the “1-minute scalping club,” handling as per theory should be fine.
Also, the “15-minute chart scalping” for shorts only should be avoided given hawkish FOMC minutes and Kishida’s reemergence of “responsible expansionary fiscal policy,” which have caused broad yen weakness. Tonight I plan to focus on the “1-minute scalping.”
With that, overseas time will begin shortly!
Because scalping targets small profit margins, one might think there are 24-hour opportunities, but that is not the case. By targeting periods with relatively high volatility, you can significantly reduce trading difficulty.
The time frames I target are around the London market open and the New York market open.
・London market open time (US daylight saving time 16:00– / US standard time 17:00–)
・New York market open time (US daylight saving time 22:00– / US standard time 23:00–)
Even immediately after US data/events, volatility rises and opportunities increase. However, in the minutes right after a release, spreads can widen, so the rule is to always enter after they return to normal spreads.
Always check the US indicators/events schedule in advance. Knowing when opportunities will come helps accumulate profits efficiently.
Also, absolutely avoid positioning right before US indicators/events. If you go against them, you’ll be wiped out in an instant. Carelessness is not allowed, absolutely.
The US indicators/events schedule can be checked on the websites of each broker/FX provider.
Of course there are various other points beyond the three above, but I’ve explained the minimum points to keep in mind when scalping USD/JPY.
