Yep - two in the bowl.
Followed Croc's rule that if it hesitates, get out - so I've taken 1. Sounds stupid but I'm getting a lot of little profits now. Am willing to wait for a determined run to start, and if it doesn't, I'm out. Working well for me.

Euro/Swissie moving more favourably than pound/yen for dollar shorts just now.
A brave being might short $ agaainst their preferred cross now, a less brave one may do it just? after probably already factored in FOMC but before Friday 1.30?

Well, before reading the above I managed to go short EUR/USD on charting grounds - from 13075 and 13080. Looking for at least 13040/50 to get back to it's late Tuesday evening position.

Bit of a new departure for me - don't normally stray from cable. We'll see

magg well done,
hod agree ob rate hike in the price but still wud not want to be shrt$

shrt cable @ 50 early. one......

covered half @ 40

whats this interest rate rise going to do to cable overnight

sold cable 1.8860

Jeff, me too for +10 but I've been watching it on and off all night. waste of time!

closed overnight cable short for +32, which was nice

Hi folks. Just a couple of questions before I join you with a punt (will be a week or two before I do anyway). Say I was going 1 a point on cable, what's my exposure? Around 18k? How much margin does this use up with cmc?

And which site shows the best charts to print off? I'm thinking of 1 day, 5 day and a few weeks charts. Need these charts to get a feel for it. Many thanks for your help - and special thanks Mos for all the stuff you keep sending.

mng jeff, bushs speech seems to have done very little cable same as yesterday it seems,nfp will be the key


seymour 1 pp s/b margin is 150 quid..
as for charts ..cmc`s are basic..

or try above...

Well, yesterday proved to be be fruitful. Left my EUR/USD to limit stop out for +40 and +45. My cable short trigger was fired at 880 and that is still open for +35 so I'm looking to see whether to close that. And that was all whilst I was away from the screen doing day job type stuff.

Very pleased with myself. Good week so far. Must make sure I don't blow it with some stupid trades.
