Closed the 7860 for 100 points - that's more like it - but still ground to make up so leaving the 7825 in for a bit longer - although the pretty number 7777 looks like it's a key number in the longer term trends.

Bobcolby - 26 Oct 2005 11:07 - 4589 of 11056

just gone long cable @ 60

mg - 26 Oct 2005 11:42 - 4590 of 11056

Good luck Bob - I've bottled out of my other short for 65 - so made up for yesterday's debacle. I really must remain focused rather than getting carried away with trying to defend bad decisions - and making them worse.

Watch out with that long - I personally still think we' could well see plenty more downside - all, of course, in my very humble opinion - and look where that got me yesterday ;)

PS - take a look at the 60 minute with SMA, EMA and MACD settings - could be 100 points in it - so I'm possibly looking to get back in later on - short

11 am is a dangerous time to be entering the market other than for quick scalping, imo.

The Yanks start coming on line at 12 noon and you always see a bit of choppiness then as their overnight stops are applied and the bulls and bears jockey for position. Just the same as it's often better to wait until at least 7:20 am before entering the market, it's also often better to wait 20 minutes or so to give the Yanks a chance to sort themselves out and get a clearer picture. Otherwise you'll easily find yourself being shafted.

edit: And that's discounting any figures at 13:30.

I'm currently with mg.

I happen to think that, if anyone's think of selling the Dollar right now, they should give it another half hour or an hour or so of watching to be on the safe side. Cable's still moving below all but the fastest ma's on the 5-minute chart and those ma's are all still pointing down. The Dollar bulls from earlier this morning don't look ready to give up the fight just yet and will be hoping to see the Yanks adding a bit to give it another push up.

Hils I get the message tks. I am off to play golf to see if I can beat yesterdays spectacular achievement of 1 eagle and two birdies . Closed the 60 cable @ 70. :-) :-)

hilary - 26 Oct 2005 12:55 - 4594 of 11056

Good luck with the Eagles, but watch out for the
Parrots, Bob ......... they might have that Bird Flu thingey.

Btw, did I ever mention that I used to caddy for my father who used to be Club Captain of Wimbledon Park? I got into a bit of trouble one day when I got caught skinny dipping in the lake, but that's another story.

:o)

Looking for cable support 1.720/1.77 if it gets that far :S

mg - 26 Oct 2005 15:52 - 4596 of 11056

Feeling a lot better having just nicked a net 50 from a couple of sneeky shorts.

Great when it's going your way - miserable when it isn't.

mg - 26 Oct 2005 17:16 - 4597 of 11056

That's me done for the day - nicked another 50

chocolat - 26 Oct 2005 19:38 - 4598 of 11056

Heyyy mg :)

1.7720 kicked in just after I left work. So short's out and long's in. I had another order in just below 1.77, scrubbed that now.

Oops just noticed my last post was short of a 7 - must be because mg nicked them all for his pretty number ;)

STORMCALLER - 27 Oct 2005 00:15 - 4599 of 11056

After an awesome example of self-control, had 1 round trip on cable tonight, and didn't lose a point.
This called a halt to a 2 day haemorrhage of laughable ineptitude.

It closed even

Pretty good for me..:-)

mg - 27 Oct 2005 07:41 - 4600 of 11056

chocopops
That post was a bit early for you - and no update at half past 2 in the morning ;)

Agree about longs. Didn't have anything open overnight - but had a stopper in @ 1.7690 - to open long if it had reached there - shame - it would have been a cracker @ 1.7720 - hope you got that.

Now trying a couple long from 1.7795 and 1.7800 to see where that gets me.

Out and about today so will pull them if no action before I have to go out.

hilary - 27 Oct 2005 08:37 - 4601 of 11056

I think that Merlin's got something to say about your trading, mg. Well done.

:o)

HelenW - 27 Oct 2005 08:46 - 4602 of 11056

Hear! hear! Merlin Well Done MG

mg - 27 Oct 2005 09:57 - 4603 of 11056

Well, laydees - just cashed in my longs for +90 and +85 ..... a whopping net +175 and it isn't even luch time.

No more for me today - I'm gonna rest on my laurels - feeling all smug having recovered from getting pretty angry with myself.

Thank you Merlin ;)

Bobcolby - 27 Oct 2005 10:31 - 4604 of 11056

Well done MG. I was wondering if you had taken profits. I got up too late this morning and missed all the action:-)

STORMCALLER - 27 Oct 2005 12:54 - 4605 of 11056

I've got a bit confused now, the oft proven STORMCALLER theory that it is impossible to make a profit on cable has developed a small leak....I've just closed a cable short for +30..:-))

Now if only I could remember how it was done...lol

Edit
Was a bit short of time when I posted this
Opened short @ 890, closed @ 860

STORMCALLER - 27 Oct 2005 14:24 - 4606 of 11056

It seems there may be more flaws in this theory than I had initially realised, just closed cable long for +31...:-))

Closed this one @ 92, chart said reverse it.....lacked the courage!

Opened long @ 862, closed @ 893

STORMCALLER - 27 Oct 2005 16:10 - 4607 of 11056

Couldn't resist second invite to short off resistance, now closed 3rd trade of the day for +51
That makes 100+ for the day, and therefore the best I can recall.
Am seriously chuffed...:-)))

Better go and do some work now...lol
