It has been driving me crazy too Hilary. I don't know why they have suddenly come to the decision the fault is at their end but the sooner the better. Don't think I can stand it much longer.

It only happens on P&F forex charts too for some reason.

Harlosh - 11 May 2006 18:56 - 5631 of 11056

Well I managed 100 points on Monday and a little over 100 this morning before closing my position when it first peaked around 11.30. I closed because I had to collect someone from the station and just returned to find it has risen a further 150 pips. What a week it would have been - though 200 points in three days is still a great achievement for me.

Had it been anyone else other than a favourite uncle visiting from Canada I would send them the bill for the opportunity lost. :-((.

:-))

Well done Harlosh

Relatives eh?

bakko - 12 May 2006 08:29 - 5633 of 11056

Nice trading Harlosh.

Well, Its a very nice feeling cos I managed to grab just over a ton too. My first 100+ pip trade since starting forex. Could have let it run further as cable ended yesterday 200+ but more than happy to take the profit. Hopefully, there'll be lots more to come in the future.

bakko - 12 May 2006 08:34 - 5634 of 11056

Cable very strong this morning. Going into orbit at the moment!

Harlosh - 12 May 2006 08:37 - 5635 of 11056

Thanks Pth & bak, but the way this is going 200 pips is looking pretty poor :-)

Harlosh - 15 May 2006 07:05 - 5636 of 11056

Morning all - another crazy week ahead I wonder?

Big Al - 16 May 2006 03:11 - 5637 of 11056

Haven't visited this thread much for a while. Probably the most underrated on the BB IMO.

Personally never got much chance to investigate the joys of FX. Still, I'm young yet. ;-))

hilary - 16 May 2006 07:55 - 5638 of 11056

It's all about quality, Big Al. Not quantity.

:o)

MightyMicro - 16 May 2006 14:46 - 5639 of 11056

Big Al,

As our Hilary intimated, you're very welcome, I'm sure, but please remember that this is a classy joint and we don't want no riff-raff. Please observe the proprieties, despite Hilary's penchant for a bit of pathological coupling.

mg - 16 May 2006 15:18 - 5640 of 11056

What's all this about riff-raff - is that why I haven't been able to post ??

Is that doing it in the Path lab? or insanely picking fx cross pairs?

Big Al - 16 May 2006 23:52 - 5642 of 11056

Hil - so true! ;-)

Hmmm. All things are relative I suppose ;-)

(Only teasing Al!)

Big Al - 17 May 2006 00:34 - 5644 of 11056

;-))))

MightyMicro - 21 May 2006 01:23 - 5645 of 11056

Calendar replenished for another week's excitement and derring-do in FX :)

Harlosh - 22 May 2006 07:20 - 5646 of 11056

Thanks MM - another challenging week ahead I'm sure. :-)

MightyMicro - 27 May 2006 10:09 - 5647 of 11056

Fairy FX Services have updated the Calendar.

Enjoy the weekend, FXers!

Following something of a kicking a few weeks ago, probably due to over confidence and lack of exxperience I decided to take a rest and re-think my strategy. With hindsight it was apparent that I was trying to trade tops and bottoms rather than trading what I could actually see and suffered the consequences. Over the last few days I have reduced my stakes until confidence re-builds and followed the trend. Never really staying in for long, but taking profits and if the trend has continued, re-entered. Obviously, this approach has not netted the really big gains, for instance 200 pips were available yesterday and I managed 90, but overall, I felt more comfortable. Hopefully, I will continue in the same vein next week.

From the link above it would appear that the recent Dollar strength is a blip and going long might be the order of the day. However, will wait and see what happens next week, rather than trying to second guess.
