Not yet, Beebs.

Stupid woman!! I've just pressed sell to close instead of buy to add.

post 243 - spot on, if you'll pardon the pun

as for post 244 - we all do it sometime, at least you've admitted it !

so do tell, where is the top according to the re-instated Mistress Guru ?

hilary - 28 Jan 2004 08:33 - 248 of 11056

No idea, Beebs. I'm not a subscriber to Elliot, Fibonacci or any of the other patternmeisters ...... you could burn them all at the stake as far as I'm concerned.

My strategy is simple. Identify a trend according to whatever indicators suit you best and then trade with it (rather than against it) for as long as it's maintained. You've got to be in it to win it.

dclinton - 28 Jan 2004 08:37 - 249 of 11056

Hilary - yes, patience is definitely the key. Trouble is, I've taken so many hits on Cable in the past weeks that I'm very jumpy and placing stops a bit too close. The volatility makes it very difficult.

Still, managed to wait for the breakthrough above 1.8916 yesterday and take 80 points or so on a long in the late afternoon which helped recoup my losses.

I'm still very much a learner at this trading business and one of my problems is still to open trades too impulsively ("if you're not in it you can't win it"). When I sit back and take the time I have a much better success rate.

dclinton - 28 Jan 2004 08:39 - 250 of 11056

I'm just starting to use the Fib retracements and they are surprisingly indiciative. Yesterday several times the price moved back to a fib level and paused there for some time.

Beeblebrox - 28 Jan 2004 10:08 - 251 of 11056

looks like they've forgotten to flip the switch today....
10.00 = 183.07, where i'm long

dclinton - 28 Jan 2004 10:25 - 252 of 11056

It's a bit dithery this morning, it's true. Waiting for a move above 1.8330 (the morning's top) before considering a long. It's just as likely to bounce from there. There's clear air above there to Friday's open at 1.8441 and Friday's high of 1.8523.

Beeblebrox - 28 Jan 2004 10:28 - 253 of 11056

dclinton; my thoughts too, approaching 10.30, but still just positive
enough to move the stop to 182.96

Beeblebrox - 28 Jan 2004 10:43 - 254 of 11056

keeps bouncing off your 183.30 dc
maybe third time lucky ?

dclinton - 28 Jan 2004 11:00 - 255 of 11056

Well, there are some nice postive trend lines forming an upward channel and the moving averages look good.

There goes a possible breakout. Gone long at 1.8338.

Beeblebrox - 28 Jan 2004 11:02 - 256 of 11056

well the theory still intact, though it looks more like
someone moved the selector to buy , rather than sell $,
though the euro is trying a little more now.
clean pair of heals now to 183.80 dc ?

dclinton - 28 Jan 2004 11:14 - 257 of 11056

In theory, yes :-) The price has bounced back under 1.8330 again, but keeps challenging it. If it breaks through I reckon it's clear up to 1.8440, possibly 1.8525.

Got to get above 330 and stay there, though.

Beeblebrox - 28 Jan 2004 11:15 - 258 of 11056

flat line on forex with cmc
not good if you have a position open
anyone got a cable price please

dclinton - 28 Jan 2004 11:19 - 259 of 11056

I've just had that. Exited and restarted MM5 and it's back again.

dclinton - 28 Jan 2004 11:20 - 260 of 11056

currently 1.8329/33

Beeblebrox - 28 Jan 2004 11:23 - 261 of 11056

tks dc - rang the dealers
back now and moving our way 183 40-44

dclinton - 28 Jan 2004 11:26 - 262 of 11056

yeah, but still banging on the ceiling at 18345 and can't quite break through...

dclinton - 28 Jan 2004 11:30 - 263 of 11056

And it's broken though, up to 350+
