Trading the Japanese Yen (technical analysis)

Charting techniques use several Moving Averages, stochastics, tick count, a Moving Average Convergence-Divergence.  Support and resistance levels are also a factor.  

Program has averaged at least 100 pts per day for the last year, with NO major draw downs.  
Even on low volume days, the program never took a significant loss and never ended any 
day with a loss since I've been tracking.

1 Point in the Japanese Yen = $12.50 US.  

January 2000 for example would total $32,937 per contract (minus commission), which is over a 600% return per contract for the month.  I am still working on timing which is critical, and frequently miss entry/exit points.  I'm still working on it though.  So far it is a potential gold mine -- not a real one yet.  But it's there just the same.

Check out the book list if you'd like to learn more about Japanese Candlestick Charting techniques.  I find them significant and very important.
