Hi hilary...quess that getting over todays trading high of 1.7647 turns the show into a short term buy..


I be interested to know the current thoughts of the MPC post
yesterdays figures.

Perhaps rates wont go to 5% in the UK this year now..
If 4.25 or even 4.5% is seen as top this year
(given the state of manufact. seeming so imp to the MPC)
then Cable will have further to fall

Have to say though that the MPC seems to be in a time warp that
we are still a manufacturing rather than service economy
In todays climate you cant manage both with the same stick
When will they learn this..

hilary - 12 May 2004 09:27 - 1284 of 11056

foale,

I've drawn a resistance line from the spike high on Friday through the highs of yesterday morning and we seem to be through that this morning and it has since bounced from that line as support.

My oscillators on the hourly chart have turned upwards although they're still oversold and really need to rise up some more for confirmation/comfort. I'm hoping for a lift from the 9:30 to trigger some more short stops and for some bulls to come in on the 10:30 to provide the upwards momentum. Tightish stops until the news has been digested.

foale - 12 May 2004 09:37 - 1285 of 11056

So far your wish is coming true

but 1.7710 the bottom of another resistance level

Sue 42 - 12 May 2004 09:47 - 1286 of 11056

Hi

I followed wht you said & closed a short at 1.7641 - opened a long and......

thanks

Sue 42 - 12 May 2004 09:58 - 1287 of 11056

closed the long +41 opened another short

foale - 12 May 2004 10:35 - 1288 of 11056

out of a long 1.7715....now waiting to see

edit..went into the resistance zone more that I thought
but resistance it is at 17715-17740
Took out another 25 points from 7736 down...now flat again

Can see us doing a bit of range trading between 17740 and 17690
so sitting on hands

Sue 42 - 12 May 2004 11:08 - 1289 of 11056

closed the short flat -opened a long - went out! & now happy.

hilary - 12 May 2004 13:40 - 1290 of 11056

I love it when a plan comes together.

:o)

Tellon - 12 May 2004 13:45 - 1291 of 11056

Testing yesterdays hi's...

foale - 12 May 2004 13:59 - 1292 of 11056

Well done Hilary

Looks like it struggling a bit now though 17792
Trying a small short

hilary - 12 May 2004 14:00 - 1293 of 11056

Well I'm running a 60 pip trailing, so I wish you luck for 50 pips but no more than that!!!!!!

:o)

Sue 42 - 12 May 2004 14:00 - 1294 of 11056

rats - closed the long & went short.

hmmmmm long or short from here???

hilary - 12 May 2004 14:03 - 1295 of 11056

Sue,

This move has probably got another 150-200 pips on the long side over the next 48-72 hours imo. Can't guarantee that it'll go in a straight line though.

I guess Tellon would probably concur.

Tellon - 12 May 2004 14:07 - 1296 of 11056

Im still long from my earlier postions,

Long @ 1.7709 +61 pips
Long @ 1.7614 +156 pips

I think now is the time for a slight breather but there is more gains to be made. IMO

The short answer, Hill I concur (I think thats the spelling)

Sue 42 - 12 May 2004 14:09 - 1297 of 11056

thanks guys - its a bit of a roller coater!!

Beeblebrox - 12 May 2004 14:10 - 1298 of 11056

and this morning the chief forex dealer from hbos
declared on bloomberg that would come under a lot more pressure today



hmmmm - if i had an acct with them i'd close it.

foale - 12 May 2004 14:31 - 1299 of 11056

hilary your 60 pip trailing..is that an auto trailing stop or you manually hike it up now and again?

Promise only looking for 59 pips now on the downside from the highs
then my close and reverse should ensure the market turns back to the highs
on a weight of money arguement :-)

hilary - 12 May 2004 15:23 - 1300 of 11056

foale,

Automatic???? I'm a manual dinosaur.
