Out of the blocks, Sputtie ;)

Choc :-)

I traded the 2month outright maybe should have taken the spot

mg - 10 Aug 2005 16:57 - 4297 of 11056

Only a brief appearance. Haven't been trading cable for a couple of months. Went short @ 7955 and 7948 with stops - still in - @ 8000.

Looking good so far - going out for a Balti to Typhoon Alley soon so may close them now there seems to be a bit of support above 7900. Limits set @ 7900 for net +103 - always over-egging a good thing ;)

How ya doin chocciepops - I see you've been keeping your end up on the Forex thread. You should be in the chocolat bar kitchen, or doin' a bit of ironing - I dunno, wimmin !!!

Nice to see a new and an old face in here.
Funny that, everyone always seems to think I should be somewhere else ;)
I'll put up my trades when I get home - btw ten four, I was looking for 1.79 too :)

Only goes to show we're both bonkers

mg - 10 Aug 2005 18:04 - 4299 of 11056

I cannot believe it - she said the b word ...........

I have not and never have been b.......... Anyway, I wouldn't know how to do b.......

mg XIV (and none of the Nuns know what you are talking about - they have no idea what b........ing is - they only do praying - on their knees, bent over, looking ever so angelic, mouthing chants and stuff ........)

Ok I said I would, so here goes (especially for Stormie)

Here's a screenshot of cable from Monday morning

ScreenShot213.jpg

I haven't budged on my trendline since last week, and you can see where support became resistance on Friday. I shorted first of all at 1.7871, made a note that I'd probably get burnt - I was going to give it until 1.79 - and that's where I added. It looked fairly strong from the outset and it made such a meal of it all day, I closed at 1.7842. Managed to catch it just below 1.79 on Tuesday and closed that for 75 points within fairly short order. So the rest of the day was a bit of a yawn until FOMC time came round. I watched it spike up to the 70s and caught it as it fell back to go long (eek) at 1.7850, inbetween trying to be clever with the Dow. I was rather hoping for 1.80 this morning

but I gave up and reversed at 1.7967 - looking for support at 1.79. I would've added around 1.80 if it had found the strength, but in any event I closed it at 1.7940. Shorted again at 1.7975 this afternoon and closed that at 1.7919.

So yep - the trend is your friend, whichever way you look at it, although I have to say, the MACDs are my best friends :)

And you're a little liar ten four - no point in giving you penance, cos you love it ;)

I hope the fairy doesn't sleep in again :)

MightyMicro - 14 Aug 2005 20:41 - 4304 of 11056

The FX Fairy thanks you for the nudge (in the hammock, one assumes :))

hilary - 15 Aug 2005 10:18 - 4305 of 11056

Been closing those cable longs started from just above $1.74 this morning. For around 730, 630, 530, 430, ....... respectively. Just over 3000 pips for 3 weeks work.

:o)

HelenW - 15 Aug 2005 10:41 - 4306 of 11056

Hilary, shouldn't that be :0))))))))))))) Well Done

Maggot - 15 Aug 2005 12:14 - 4307 of 11056

WOW!!! I think I'm doing well if I take 30...
:-)

chocolat - 15 Aug 2005 12:43 - 4308 of 11056

That's brill, Hils :)

foale - 15 Aug 2005 13:02 - 4309 of 11056

a lesson for us all...
mighty impressive

ADD every 100 pips in your favour once opened as it confirms direction
.....then use a wide trailing wide stop to take you out

major respect....
and not bad for someone semi retired :-)

Seymour Clearly - 15 Aug 2005 14:03 - 4310 of 11056

Excellent result Hilary - Much respect for not sitting poring over the monitor all day.

MightyMicro - 15 Aug 2005 17:02 - 4311 of 11056

Hils: respec'

You can buy me lunch when you collect the ski boots :))
