I am finding FX very hard to read at the moment...
after a clear trend ...easy to get into the mentality of
trend trading...then get whipsawed when it range trades

Divetime - 17 Jan 2006 10:35 - 4759 of 11056

Got burnt this morning when the CPI figs came out, ouch!

Mega Bucks - 17 Jan 2006 10:45 - 4760 of 11056

Divetime,it is always good idea to take a look at the calendar at the top of the thread or better print it off and if you trade say cable,then all you do is check that there is no data coming out on that day with a GBP beside it.News like that can and will move it as you have found out.

Sorry to hear the news with a OUCH :-(

Mega...

Mega,

forgive my ignorance but I therefore presume it is not a good idea to hold positions overnight or before 9.30am when most of the news seems to come out?

hilary - 17 Jan 2006 15:24 - 4762 of 11056

Harlosh,

I personally don't have a problem with holding overnight nor with entering the market before 9:30am. The business of holding overnight is very much down to the type of trader you are though. I presume that you're aware of the carry costs????

There are often some decent moves to be had between 7am and 8am and it is within this period that I believe the direction is set for the rest of the session. Fwiw, Cable and Fiber both had pretty good sell signals this morning shortly after 9am and ahead of the CPI.

I'm also going to have another play around with the header to stick in some links to some good articles on each currency. The articles are updated daily.
