Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

Quiet day for me today, did manage to grab a few during the short lived spike up this morning, but closed (too early) and reversed. However, decided to close before going out and missed all of the fall this afternoon. With hindisght should have left a stop and limit in and would have come home to a nice surprise. Nevermind, three profitable trading days on the trot which makes a nice change after recent disasters.

Choccie, considering the last FX discussion we had was about 4am in the Stanley Casino, Manchester, an FX 'day' sounds great to me :-)

I'm sure Bakko would love to come along too but he is sunning himself Downunder right now but will be back in another week or so if things can wait till then and there is enough interest.

Thanks again MM.

Harlosh: The real thanks are to our Hilary -- I am merely her little helper!

Choccie: I think the FX traders' day is a great idea. I'm sure Mike could be persuaded to add a little MoneyAM sponsorship to such a worthy cause ;-)

chocolat, great idea. i'm up ;)

I suspect Choc was thinking of something a little less formal - discussion over a pie and a pint sort of thing would be my guess.

Just managed to log on and cant believe what cable's been up to in the last 2 weeks!

Harlosh..Hope you shorted the backside off cable when it hit 1.9s

Hi Bak - you still there?

Still around

In Sydney and looking at a computer screen eh? I warned you about that before you went. :-)

And no I didn't short it when it it 1.9 unfortunately - was somewhere else at the time but I've done OK without it anyway.

I'm surviving and I'm happy with that at this stage of my Forex career :-)

Hope you're enjoying yourself.

Out of Oz and in Hong Kong right now. Just chilling out at my brother in laws for a few more days before going home.

Nice to here you're doing ok on forex. Just feel that I'm missing out right now :-(

Will send you internal mail in few moments

When are you home Bak? Look forward to your return. I'll fill you in on a few things.

Will be back on Monday and in time for the start of the world cup!

I've sent you an email via msn hotmail

How can you be missing out when you're the one on your hols, bak :)

Dunno what anyone else thinks - just wondering if cable won't touch 1.8650 quite soon. Anyway flat since early this morning - hope to get home before 7 :)

Forex - Dollar recovers on Fed meeting minutes, data, Rice comments - UPDATE 4

Well I'm hanging on to this evening's shorts starting from 1.8750, another sup/res area over the last weeks, for a little while. But what a twonk though, could've reversed from my long 100 points higher this morning. Haven't a clue where it's heading really - the 8 hr MAs have been overlaid this last day or so, so I'm relying on the 5, 10 and 15 min MACDs. Added at 1.8720 - if my lines hold, then it should push up again from anywhere upwards of 1.8650s.

Btw Harlosh - no particular format in mind yet, and no big rush - and the more the merrier (it won't be huge anyway). Fully expecting our furry to give Bullie a poke in the eye now, since he so bravely suggested it.
I would never have done that :o)

Choccy, you mention earlier about discussing your methodology. I've been re-examining FX recently and resetting all my charts. I use a daily, 8 hr, 15 and 5 minute charts although I find the 15 min the best, however I can't decide on my MACD settings - presently using 13 26 9. Any comments?

Might be interested in the FX traders day if it was in / near the NE but my guess is that the dedicated Fx traders are mostly in't south.

Blimey, SC - I was just going for a bubble.
Personal preference (when there's time to think) is a 10 min chart when starting a trade, but a 4 hr chart is an absolute minimum for other criteria. My MACDs are 19, 39, 9.

There are a few of us up north too, you know - and some very nice places to meet too - and I wasn't thinking of the Britannia either ;)

Thanks Choccy, but you really didn't need to stay up late to answer - this morning would have done ;-)

Weyhey - at last!
