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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 ?

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.

Well, it's still finding support on the recent trend lines and fib retracement levels. The MACD and stochastic on bothe the 5 and 15 minute charts are pretty bearish but there seems to be a strong bullish push which is having to fight the indicators. I reckon up.
Or it could go down. Or it could go trendless for a while :-)

Yes, the US open at noon will either knock it back or give it a big push. The latter, I hope.
