11/19 Forex

  • Euro, Australian dollar to bull phase against the yen (EUR/JPY, AUD/JPY).
  • They look like head fakes to me. See my discussion below.

The switches to bull phase by the EUR/JPY and AUD/JPY pairs are unconfirmed by the average directional index (adx), which is weakening in both cases, suggesting sideways trends and a high likelihood of whipsaws.

The EUR/JPY signal ends a bear phase of eight U.S. market days that brought the price down 1.5%.

The preceding bear phase on AUD/JPY lasted four market days and carried the price down 1%.

The analysis uses the daily Person's Proprietary Signal, developed by John Person, and the weekly Person's Pivot, which he also developed.

These are black box signals -- the "proprietary" means that Mr. Person knows how they work under the hood, and I don't. But they have shown a fair degree of success in identifying good entry and exit points, and I find them useful.

On the glance, "pps open" means the price at the start of trading in the United States on the day the signal appeared.
