BoE leaves interest rates at 4.5%

Forget the BoE, MM. Forget the ECB as well, because nearly everyone expects them to leave rates on hold.

It's all ears on Trichet at 1:30.

As well as Trichet, you've also got ............

US event risk in the early North American session is provided by the weekly unemployment data (12:30 GMT), more Snow comments (13:30 GMT) and Moskow in London (15:00 GMT) before Transportation wraps the pre-NFP risk (15:30 GMT).

On the options front, plain vanilla 1.2225 and 1.2300 strikes are noted maturing into the 14:00 GMT NY options cut-off.

Any inyerest in snapping up Euro yet as Trichet waits until next time or the time after or the one after that

Is Cable always like this? Crazy. :-)

Doing everything I wanted it to today Harlosh :)
Try and get summat up later.

Thanks Choc. Bak and I are both in but it sure is a bumpy ride.

Choccy,

I'm targetting around the 1.7330 to 1.7350 area on cable and 1.2080 to 1.2100 area on fiber over the next couple of days from this move.

Small box P&F chart giving a target of 1.739 Hilary. Not too far away from you.

Harlosh,

It's my guess that the lead on this move is going to come from Fiber.

My chart is showing 3 possible supports. The first is at this current level of around 1.2200 and it needs to break down through that first. The next is currently at around 1.2140, but it's rising and will probably be around 10 or 20 pips higher by the time the price action gets there. The final line represents major support at around 1.2080, but that is also rising. It would be an ideal world if it hit that level and I'm not holding my breath.

Just thought I'd post an update of my first forex trade which was a short on cable 2 days ago.

Well, the good bit is that I closed it later in the afternoon for a profit of +57 pips. But it sure wasn't an easy profit by all means. More like one hell of a white knuckle ride. I must have went through at least 3 rounds of agony and ectasy of seeing big losses turning into big profits and reversing again. In the end, I just banked up as soon as I reached a decent level again.

After all that I see Hilary and Harlosh posting up targets of 1.7330 to 1.7350.

Looks like I got out way too soon....Arghhhhhhhhh!

bakko: To quote our Hilary "He who dares, Rodney, he who dares" ;-)

Looks like we're playing off the same dots :)

Hey Bak - sounds like a normal Betfair day ;)

Harlosh - 1.739?

Choccie...Thanks for the cable chart.

Not quite the same as betfair. The ectasy is similar but the agony is positively faecal!

EUR/USD = "Fiber"
USD/JPY = "Gopher"
EUR/GBP = "Chunnel"
GBP/CHF = "Geppy"

:-)))

Thanks Hilary for your thoughts on Fiber above.

Thanks Hilary for your thoughts on Fiber above.

Harlosh.....Thanks for the petnames.

Harlosh -- actually, I thought Geppy was the nickname for GBP/JPY but WDIK . ..
