[4/15] Tonight's USD/JPY scalping points and methods free公開中

This is Tomizaki from Trading Office.

【4/15 Dollar/Yen Scalp Points】

Thanks for your hard work! Alright, let’s scalp USD/JPY again tonight!

First, here is today's Tokyo time overview.

Currently, USD/JPY is around 158.90. The pair started at around 158.75 in the morning, and during Tokyo time, the dollar sold off as crude oil futures extended their declines from New York time last night, but afterward there was no new catalyst, and the dollar showed a slight rebound.

That said, the movement is limited, and the market seems to be in a wait-and-see mood due to uncertainty surrounding U.S.-Iran peace talks.

It looks like the baton will be passed to overseas time at roughly the same level as in the morning.

Now, here are tonight’s USD/JPY scalp points.

● Movements near 16:00 London market open

● Movements after the 21:30 release of the U.S. NY New York Fed manufacturing index

● Movements near the 22:00 New York market open (Dow opens at 22:30)

Other notes…

・There will be important official comments during trades (21:30 “Statement by a U.S. Federal Reserve Bank official”)

・Be cautious of headlines related to U.S.-Iran tensions

・Be cautious of headlines related to BoJ currency intervention

Tonight’s “1-minute scalping” will target moves around each market open, plus the moves after the 21:30 release of the U.S. NY Fed manufacturing index. For users of the “1-minute scalping club,” handling as per theory should pose no problem. Tonight, the market-moving factors will mainly be headlines related to U.S.-Iran tensions.

Also, for the short-only “15-minute scalping,” there isn’t a sense of buyers pushing higher in the market, so technically a pullback-sell approach could be tried. The entry point would be when a selling setup forms above around 159 yen.

Now, overseas time is about to start!

Because scalping aims for small profit margins, people often think there are opportunities around the 24-hour clock, but that’s not the case. By targeting periods with relatively high volatility, you can significantly reduce the difficulty of trading.

The time I target is 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/events announcements, volatility remains high and opportunities abound. However, in the few minutes after the announcement, spreads may widen, so it is essential to trade only after they revert to the normal spread.

Always check the U.S. data/event schedule in advance. Knowing the times when opportunities will come allows you to raise profits efficiently.

Also, absolutely avoid positioning just before U.S. indicators/events. If you go against them, it can be devastating. A sudden stop-out can wipe out funds. Carelessness is not allowed, absolutely not.

U.S. indicators/events schedules can be checked on the websites of brokers and FX providers.

Of course there are other points besides the above three, but I’ve explained the minimum points you should keep in mind when scalping USD/JPY.
