USDJPY_Break of the Channel_Lower Lows_Strategic Entry_Daily
USDJPY has respected in the uptrending channel for quite some time now. Just recently, the channel intersected with a major overhead band of resistance which has been a major pivot point for price in the past.
Lone and behold, price broke both channels at the intersection point (see purple bubble), then clearly rejected old support. Price should proceed to move down in weeks to come.
I picked my stop at the stop out point of the first obvious sell signal knowing the institutionals are going to clear stops before moving down. I picked my stop behind the highest high, knowing if price moves beyond that point the trade and channels are invalidated. Seems unlikely after holding for several months.
Willing to risk 2% and break my habit of small stops. Going to hold the entire position for T2.
Stop above the higher high 114.756.
Original Entry, low of the signal bar add 2 pips 113.32.... High of signal bar 113.637. As a strategic entry, I'd like a fill 2 ticks above the signal bar. STEntry - 113.657. Difference between Stop and ST entry 1.099 pips.
T1 112.558 T2-111.459 T3-110.360
Goodluck!

Strategic entry triggered.

Correction to the above- I picked my entry at the institutional stop out point. Traders that sold the sell signal were just stopped out at our entry is triggered.

Holding on tight, what a great entry. Barely taken any sweat at all.
