How USDJPY hunts stops
London or New York breaks 55% of the sides of USDJPY's Asian range, and 41% of those breaks turn out to be stop hunts: about 2.3 a week. Both sides are hunted on 4% of days.
A stop hunt runs a median 21 pips past the Asian range (half of them between 11 and 39; one in ten beyond 62). A break that keeps going, a breakout, runs a median 43 pips.
When an M or W forms, the second leg runs a median 10.5 pips past the first. After a hunt, price reverses a median 74 pips from the extreme (one in ten reverse 151 pips or more).
| Reached | Days | Ended as a stop hunt | Turned within another 5% of ADR | Went on to double it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5% of ADR (6 pips) | 1,564 | 40% | 13% | 87% |
| 10% of ADR (12 pips) | 1,361 | 38% | 12% | 78% |
| 20% of ADR (24 pips) | 1,065 | 33% | 12% | 58% |
| 30% of ADR (35 pips) | 817 | 27% | 12% | 42% |
| 50% of ADR (59 pips) | 440 | 15% | 11% | 26% |
| 75% of ADR (89 pips) | 218 | 7% | 15% | 15% |
The further past the range price has gone, the less often the day ends as a stop hunt. This is why the bot waits for the close back instead of selling the first spike: most breaks do not reverse.
When USDJPY stop hunts happen
45% of USDJPY's stop hunts print in London and 55% in New York. 18% print within 15 minutes of a high-impact release for one of its currencies. The busiest hours, New York time:
| Hour (New York) | Share of hunts |
|---|---|
| 08:00 | 22% |
| 09:00 | 14% |
| 03:00 | 13% |
| 10:00 | 11% |
21% of hunts take the previous day's high or low, 8% the previous week's and 1% the previous month's. Those are the levels where the crowd's stops sit, and the levels the bot's COT level hunt needs.
| Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High of the week | 20% | 12% | 20% | 16% | 33% |
| Low of the week | 35% | 18% | 11% | 14% | 23% |
A midweek reversal (the week's high or low on Tuesday to Thursday, then 1.25 average daily ranges the other way) came in 54% of weeks.
What the bot does on USDJPY
It reads USDJPY's 15-minute candles every five minutes, around the clock from Sunday evening to Friday evening, and looks for two setups written down as rules: the Signature Trade, a stop hunt that forms an M or a W, and the COT level hunt, a hunt of a prior high or low against a crowded position in the COT report.
When one fires, it posts the chart with the entry at the close back, a stop one average daily range beyond the extreme (it uses the live figure, not the average above), and four targets at half, one, two and three times the stop. Then it follows the trade and replies at every target and at the stop, with the chart redrawn. Nothing is managed: the stop never moves, and a signal still open after ten trading days closes at the market.

Questions
Are there free USDJPY signals?
Yes. The free Telegram channel gets up to six signals a month across the eight markets the bot covers, USDJPY among them. None of them has been USDJPY yet. ForexiaPRO members get every signal.
When do USDJPY signals usually come?
A signal follows a stop hunt, and USDJPY's hunts cluster at 08:00 New York (22% of them) and 09:00 (14%). The signal itself comes at the first 15-minute close back inside, so usually later than the spike.
How big is the stop on a USDJPY signal?
One average daily range beyond the extreme of the hunt, using the range as it stands that day. Over the period measured, USDJPY's average daily range was 118 pips. The four targets are half, one, two and three times the stop.
Does the bot trade USDJPY for me?
No. It posts signals and follows them. What you trade, and how much, is your decision. Trading on margin carries a high risk of losing money.
