Moving home...back soon

hilary - 30 Jun 2004 08:53 - 1812 of 11056

Looks like we might have a little retracement coming. Could open up a window to sell the Dollar against the Europeans. Imo of course.

hodgins - 30 Jun 2004 18:37 - 1813 of 11056

Anyone playing?
Quite a feisty day for the pound with 150 points from the bottom to the top.
I wonder if it can get and stay above 18150?

Beeblebrox - 30 Jun 2004 18:48 - 1814 of 11056

not playing, but watching hodgins,

have just gone long ftse,4460

and if they push the cable down below 180.20 ish
i'll probably have a dabble. unlikely, i know,
but these yanks do get very excitable.......

i see a rosy future for cable over the next few weeks,
just need to get this .25% increase absorbed..........

Doesn't look like the market knows what to do after the Fed. Whipsawed on both longs and shorts today. Giving it one last go for today with some Dollar shorts in the hope of finding some Va Va Voom.

MightyMicro - 01 Jul 2004 15:55 - 1816 of 11056

Ahem. Beggin' your pardon, Miss, but the U.S. interest rate is now 1.25%.

(Now I suppose I'm going to get a dig about updating it automatically . . . :))

I thought that your rocket scientists were on the case Derek.

:o)

What a tedious day on the fx!!

hodgins - 02 Jul 2004 09:38 - 1818 of 11056

battling with 1.82, upside break?

hodgins - 05 Jul 2004 20:03 - 1819 of 11056

Enjoyed the sun today!
Trailing stop from Friday on long hit around 3PM. Long again from around 1.8275 (via spreadbet) an hour or so ago.
Natural pullback today and targeting about 1.8480 on further upside?

Tellon - 06 Jul 2004 11:47 - 1820 of 11056

Short myself.

GBP/USD

Looking to 1.8000 level.

Strong Resistance at Current Level. Looking to 440 for a break out..

hilary - 06 Jul 2004 12:06 - 1821 of 11056

I've found Cable struggling to move into a firm intraday trend one way or t'other recently. Much better moves from the Euro and Swiss, imo, although even they're hard work atm awaiting direction from the US. I believe that you've got to play all 3 pairs together as what works one day won't necessarily work the next.

foale - 06 Jul 2004 14:15 - 1822 of 11056

cable long worked for me today...just closed at 18435

hodgins - 07 Jul 2004 07:57 - 1823 of 11056

1.8480 possible short? term resistance and could be ripe for some sort of pullback?

hodgins - 07 Jul 2004 08:03 - 1824 of 11056

same Euro 1.2350?

Sue 42 - 07 Jul 2004 10:58 - 1825 of 11056

Nicole Elliot (?who she) on bloomberg talking about cable going to 1.9 in July - Oh dear I am short at the mo!

I assume that the MPC will not change anything today. Hil??

hilary - 08 Jul 2004 12:12 - 1828 of 11056

Looking into my crystal ball, MM, I wouldn't have thought that they will.

:o)

Big Al - 08 Jul 2004 12:46 - 1829 of 11056

Just popped in to see what the busiest thread on the BB was saying. Caught up with a whole week's posts in no time at all. ;-))

Seriously, I guess no-one expected an interest rate rise today. Was interested to see many expect another as soon as next month. Hmm

hilary - 08 Jul 2004 13:28 - 1830 of 11056

Yes it is quiet on this thread, Al. I get the impression that people don't hang around the FX markets for too long as it takes no prisoners.

Probably a combination of an unclearly defined strategy and poor money management/overtrading because of the very low margin requirements. Shame. It would be better if more people posted their views and kept the thread alive.

Difficult day today ..... too many whipsaws for my own strategy to work effectively reflecting obvious uncertainty in the market.
