Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

Yes Hilary, 1 and 5 mins too.

It's been turning on a sixpence today though. Not sure I've quite got the hang of that yet. Takes time to recognise the signs on such short time scales which I've never used before.

Having said that, I can often tell to the very pip when it will turn and the targets are often spot on.

Harlosh,

If the market is turning, as I hope it is, then the turn itself can often take a day or two as the bulls and bears fight it out for control. It can be frustrating in the meantime as you watch profits ebb and flow and you invariably think that it would have been better to have been in and out several times while you were waiting for the turn to unfold. Unfortunately it's also Sod's Law that when you try to play it like that you always miss the subsequent big move.

The only conclusion is that there's no such thing as a "right" or "wrong" way to play it.

Thanks Hilary. I wondered whether todays volatility was due to thinner trade approaching the Easter break.

When you say you think the market is turning - which way? :-))

harlosh, i can also tell to the very pip when it will turn ...... it's very often when i go in the opposite direction :) i've been doing that all day today but finally , i got one right. whoopee!!!
it looks so obvious now what i should have been doing. hopefully, i will know better next time.

LOL Bosley, I know what you mean. I think Hilary is trying to tell us not to look too short term. Find the trend and stick with it.

To tell the truth, Harlosh, I've not even bothered with my news plug-in today to know whether trade is thin or not. I bought the cable sell off after the trade balance and fiber as it dipped down towards 1.21 channel support on the 5 minute and then left it at that.

I might plug the news in now and see what they say.

My hourly charts are showing a very nice downtrend for cable over the last several days. The bearish resistance line was only breached this afternoon but seems to be heading back below this. Hopefully, this is just a small hiccup.

OK thanks Hilary. Here is a current state of play chart thought you might like to see.

If anyone's interested, I plugged Squawk Box in and they reckon that M&A Vodaphone rumours were responsible for the cable rally up which was stalled later on by real money sellers. Techs are looking to short it at 1.7490, but they're a great contrarian indicator, so I'd have said it's nailed on that it'll hit 1.76 at some stage tomorrow.

:o)

edit: Personally, I don't see any real resistance now until the 1.7520-17530 region.

Yes I'm very interested Hilary. Thank you.

I tweaked my rising thingies to a steeper gradient early Monday, so although 1.76 is possible, my money will be on 1.7550ish which is the top of my falling wotsit.


That's if it tops today's top ;)

Oops that was Monday's. Here it is now

Choccie: I just lurve your technical expressions "tweaked my rising thingies" and "top of my falling wotsit".

you girls make it looks so easy .......

Right, short from 7455

harlosh, 7455? if you mean 7555 then snap.

Sorry, yes indeed Bosley. Going out now. Keep an eye on it for me :-))

I still have P&F targets of 7612 and 7626 Bosley which is obviously a concern so will not hold on for grim death.
