Hil, come on, pay attention there, dear leader, get your header updated for the new interest rate :))

hilary - 11 Jun 2004 10:08 - 1731 of 11056

Sorry Derek. Slapped wrists ....... I've updated it for you now. It would be useful if you could get some of your rocket scientists to invent something which would update it for me automatically.

:o)

Btw, does your mobile forex device (which you showed me when I wasn't there) include indicators like RSI and Stochs and MA's? And can it do different timescales and periods? And is it just a line or can it draw candlesticks too?

hilary - 11 Jun 2004 10:55 - 1732 of 11056

Long on a buy signal for the Euro, but still waiting for a signal on Cable.

MightyMicro - 11 Jun 2004 11:04 - 1733 of 11056

Hil:

Thank you for the shiny new base rate.

The current version of the mobile software doesn't include indicators and so on, simply streaming line graphs.

However, we have plans to do such things, at least for the more capable mobile devices (smart phones) and Blackberry.

Tellon - 11 Jun 2004 11:10 - 1734 of 11056

I have a short on Euro at the moment. Curently +114 stop at a retrace to 61 though. I think it will keep going down. 1771 my target

hodgins - 11 Jun 2004 12:03 - 1735 of 11056

Ouch, dentist bill worse than pain for finalising two crowns further back than where porcelain rather than gold is partially rebated on NHS.
Earlier long mortally wounded?
Euro didn't go below earlier low of day unlike pound

hilary - 11 Jun 2004 13:40 - 1736 of 11056

Could be seeing a window to enter the Cable long very soon. Imo, of course.

hodgins - 11 Jun 2004 13:55 - 1737 of 11056

I am sitting just a little below flat from around the earlier low of the morning (the width of my stops would probably scare a lot of you but small stakes-anyone else going to the ETrade function next Friday, quite a bit of Fx stuff for neonates like me) so I would be pleased if you could get those windows open

Beeblebrox - 14 Jun 2004 07:55 - 1740 of 11056

grabbed a long 181.11
with tight stop

foale - 14 Jun 2004 08:27 - 1741 of 11056

Beeble...Did exactly what you did this am...
but after 2-3 failures at a rally...

have now reversed..

Nice to know that one of us will do well though :-)

edit: fall could extend quickly to as much as 1.7970-1.8000
but I am never that lucky

However mindful of that complete retracement of that rally to 1.8440
240 odd pips over a 12 hour period means that dollar bulls back in control
and I think that they are looking for more mileage yet

Hilary...thoughts this sunny morning?

Beeblebrox - 14 Jun 2004 08:30 - 1742 of 11056

yup david - not an encouraging bounce,
somewhat lacking in conviction,
i'm out now, and it's coming your way

hilary - 14 Jun 2004 08:51 - 1743 of 11056

Morning guys,

Atm, I see both Cable and EUR/USD as sells from shortly after 7am based upon a x-over of a couple of MA's. French CPI seems to be supporting the Euro though. UK data at 9:30 ...... let's see what that brings.

MightyMicro - 14 Jun 2004 09:27 - 1744 of 11056

G'morning Hil. Do you see a FOMC rise on June 30?

hilary - 14 Jun 2004 09:40 - 1745 of 11056

Good morning Derek. That's a really difficult question to answer and I really don't have a firm view on it, I'm afraid. I can only comment upon the market, which is currently pricing in a June rise.

Whilst the recent economic data has pointed to an early rise, there's a part of me which says that the Bush administration will want to delay and minimise rises for as long as possible so as not to jeopardise too greatly his chances of re-election.

foale - 14 Jun 2004 11:04 - 1746 of 11056

Bit if a battle at 1.8100

It was struggling to go lower from 1.8075 down to 1.8045 and the 15 min bars gave a clue with a bearish engulfing pattern

We have this mornings level of 18110 ish as resistance above
and this is the level that dollar bulls will likely use to try to turn back
those Cable lovers..using that as my short stop

MightyMicro - 14 Jun 2004 12:18 - 1747 of 11056

Hil: You've answered my question, it's currently in the price, But who knows, indeed.

Cheers

D

Beeblebrox - 14 Jun 2004 12:29 - 1748 of 11056

The swift rise from 176ish to 185ish over the past
few weeks was in my plan, and I expected the correction
to 183 - indeed was never totally convinced that was enough,
and forecast that we may correct to 181-182, which makes this
current level a critical point for cable.

If we can consolidate here, then I'm going to stick with my
forecast of 185-190 over the next say 4-8 weeks. If however we
break below 180, then all bets are off, but I think that scenario
is less likely. Would be interested to know what the charts and crystal
balls have to say about my thoughts......

and david, brilliant reverse, my excuse was i was watching ftse and dow
very carefully first thing !!!!

btw, i have no position currently, but having looked at the euro chart,
i'm itching to go long....

foale - 15 Jun 2004 07:37 - 1749 of 11056

Frustrating day yesterday of what felt like low volume small movements
probably set to continue for the rest of the week

Currently short...although flat and doing something more exciting probably the way to go atm
