Sent in the Monthly Outlook Newsletter on Feb. 1, 2010

" The 'Monster' trades.  That’s right, there is now more than one!  While the GBP/JPY was stopped out last week, and the expected move back in the 145-150 range was brief (enough to take out stops) it still managed to travel ½ way into the range @ 147.2 and promptly resumed its slide, further confirmed by the closely correlated EUR/JPY pair.  This weakness must be sold on any residual strength as I no longer expect a reversal to the upside, but HARD STOPS ARE REQUIRED, just in case.  I recommend scale in SELLS (0.1 contract at a time) on strength in the GBP/JPY in the 144.0 to 144.75 range with looser stops than usual, around 146.2 (so explains the very small position size) and/or scaled in SELLS on strength in the EUR/JPY in the 126.0 to 127.0 range and/or, or better with looser stops than usual, around 128.0.  NOTE: All position trade stops are HARD stops, NOT mental stops.  Remember, hard stops for overnight positions, mental stops for day trades."

Sent in the Weekly Outlook Newsletter on Feb. 8, 2010

"As I write this many pairs collapsed over the week as much as 400-500 pips!!!  For those sitting in the “Monster Trades” you should be very happy as the EUR/JPY is now in the 122 range from our recommended 126 to 127 SELL…that’s some 400+ pips in one week!!  Not to be out done the GBP/JPY “monster trade” collapsed almost 500 pips from our recommended 144-145 range to a current print of 139-140.0 in the same time frame!!!  We recommend that you take some profits if you took this recommendation."
