Where on earth did that lot come from???, take a short break from my one-post-a-week thread and all hell breaks loose!!
Anyway I think I finally cracked this FX lark, changed platforms (hilary will be proud of me..:-) ) and tried a cable trade on E-Trade, don't know how to work it, though??
Upshot of all this, manually closed the trade and didn't realise I'd left a stop on.
On returning home from work discovered not only that the stop had triggered, but had accrued me a nice +125.......piece-of-piss....ROFLMFAO.

Stormie: Welcome back!

Yup, things have livened up around these parts and there is a small, select club of finely-tuned expert FX traders here, led by that perfectly-formed band of charming ladies in the shape of hilary and chocolat.

Cheers

MM

MM,

Long time!!.......partly explained by the fact the finely-tuned experts found out I'm not very good at FX (see post..lol) so they barred me.......but I sneak in during the wee small hours when they are not looking...LOL

ps Hope you are well..:-)

MightyMicro - 09 Mar 2006 02:07 - 5113 of 11056

I am well, in the rudest of rude health, thank you. I trust you are the same.

STORMCALLER - 09 Mar 2006 02:20 - 5114 of 11056

MM,

Very pleased to hear that!!, things are well here also, aided I am sure by a week away from the office...LOL

Harlosh, I think (on CMC) that you are seeing dollar falling, pound rising.

Going "Long Cable" means buying a GBP/USD on CMC (I think) - I'm sure someone will correct me if wrong!

Has the paint dried yet?

hilary - 09 Mar 2006 08:54 - 5117 of 11056

Yen's very fruity this morning, goforit. EUR/JPY 2 easy moves for around 90 so far.

goforit - 09 Mar 2006 09:10 - 5118 of 11056

hils, Only trading of my laptop at the moment so struggle to watch more than one currency pair. I am learning so have stuck to cable sofar. I have recently moved out to spain, and will be getting a better computer setup in a couple of months when we've got a place sorted. Any advice/help always gratefully received.
See what you mean aboutEUR/JPY

hilary - 09 Mar 2006 09:46 - 5119 of 11056

goforit,

If you use FX Power Chart, you can watch multiple pairs/crosses at different time frames simultaneously in one large window on your laptop.

The data feed is from FXCM and therefore marries perfectly to FXCM quotes. If you use a different broker, then the price on the chart may well vary a little bit from your broker's own quote.

Edit: This is the link

goforit - 09 Mar 2006 10:12 - 5120 of 11056

hilary, thanx.

Harlosh - 09 Mar 2006 11:24 - 5121 of 11056

Lost my broadband connection last night and only just got back on-line. My Cable short and USD/JPY long not too healthy.

Harlosh - 09 Mar 2006 11:25 - 5122 of 11056

Sue42,

Thanks for that. My main confusion came from my Updata charts which appear to call pairs the wrong way round.

Harlosh - 09 Mar 2006 16:12 - 5123 of 11056

Nobody around today?

Still short Cable but looks as though that paint still isn't dry.

chocolat - 09 Mar 2006 16:29 - 5124 of 11056

Yep I'm around, H.
No time to post at the moment :S

rpaco - 09 Mar 2006 16:34 - 5125 of 11056

Harlosh
CapitalSpreads also call Cable and the Fiber the wrong way round. So you are not alone in your confusion.

Im not here really, just like to creep into a corner and bask in the greatness un-noticed.

Harlosh - 09 Mar 2006 16:37 - 5126 of 11056

Good to know I'm not alone :-))

Harlosh - 10 Mar 2006 08:09 - 5127 of 11056

Still short Cable this morning.

hilary - 10 Mar 2006 09:29 - 5128 of 11056

Story doing the rounds that Citigroup are about to launch a bid for Soc Gen. That rumour could well push fiber higher.
