Trade USD/JPY with a bot
On AlgoBars you can build a USD/JPY trading bot in plain English, with no-code blocks or in AlgoBarsX, backtest it free and run it 24/7 on AlgoBars servers without a VPS. One standard lot of USDJPY on AlgoBars is 100,000 US dollars. One pip (0.01) is worth ¥1,000 per lot; convert to your account currency at the current rate. USD/JPY is mostly moved by the interest-rate gap between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, and risk sentiment.
