[4/1] Tonight's USD/JPY scalping points and methods free公開中

【4/1 USD/JPY Scalping Points】
Good work everyone! Now, let's do USD/JPY scalping again tonight!
First, the Tokyo time overview for today.
Currently, USD/JPY is around 158.35. This morning it started around 158.75, but during Tokyo hours it moved unstably due to the uncertain Middle East situation, and toward the end, dollar selling prevailed as crude oil prices fell.
From the morning level, about 40 pips lower, it looks set to hand off to overseas trading.
President Trump plans to give a speech at 10:00 Japan time on the Middle East situation. He has said, “I will complete the mission in the next 2 or 3 weeks... is that true, Mr. Trump?” Well, perhaps. Anyway, until the speech, dollar selling may remain dominant.
Now, the points for USD/JPY scalping tonight.
● Movements around the 16:00 London market open
● Movements after the 21:15 release of the U.S. ADP employment data
● Movements after the 21:30 release of the U.S. retail sales
● Movements around the 22:00 New York market open (Dow opens at 22:30)
● Movements after the 23:00 release of the U.S. ISM Manufacturing Index

Other notes…
・Be careful with headlines related to Middle East issues

Tonight’s “1-minute chart scalping” will likely target the movements around each market open, plus the moves after the 21:15 ADP data, the 21:30 retail sales, and the 23:00 ISM manufacturing index announcements. For users of the “1-minute scalping club,” handling according to the rule should be fine. Also, continued caution is needed for headlines related to Middle East issues tonight.
Additionally, the short-only “15-minute scalping” is less likely to go long until Trump’s speech tomorrow, so it might be worth considering. The entry point would be waiting for a small pullback, to form a setup where you can sell near the 158 yen mid-level. However, do not chase too deeply; close positions around the lower 158 yen levels.
Thank you in advance for tonight as well!
Scalping tends to look like there are plenty of opportunities around any time because the profit targets are small, but that is not the case. By targeting periods with relatively high volatility, you can significantly reduce the trading difficulty.
The time periods I target are around the London market open and around the New York market open.
・London market open times (UTC: 16:00 in US daylight time / 17:00 in US standard time)
・New York market open times (UTC: 22:00 in US daylight time / 23:00 in US standard time)
Even immediately after U.S. data or events, volatility increases and opportunities arise. However, in the first few minutes after the release, the spread can widen, so the rule is to wait for it to return to the normal spread before taking a position.
Always check the U.S. indicators and events schedule in advance. Knowing when opportunities will arise helps you accumulate profits efficiently.
Also, avoid positioning immediately before U.S. indicators/events. If you move against you, you can’t see it coming. You can reach your stop-loss in an instant. Careless mistakes are not acceptable, absolutely not.
U.S. indicators and event schedules can be checked on each brokerage or FX provider's website, etc.
Of course, there are other points as well, but this covers the minimum points you should keep in mind when scalping USD/JPY.
