on behalf for the 75% I am still long :)

on behalf of the 25% I have left behind :(

foale - 26 Oct 2006 10:57 - 6509 of 11056

Lining up for a try at 1.8860 highs...but what then...

Hilary ...when do you get back off hols... LOL

bakko - 26 Oct 2006 11:28 - 6510 of 11056

foale, It's currently poking it's head above the down channel on my daily chart (post no 6502).

I'd like to see confirmation of it breaking this over the next session or two. If it does then 90 can't be too far away imo.

foale - 26 Oct 2006 15:14 - 6511 of 11056

There is a will to go higher...but is there a way..??

Decided that the fear of losing some of my gains less than that of being left behind as we head for 1.9000....

staying long..

Harlosh - 26 Oct 2006 15:25 - 6512 of 11056

A break through 73 should see it up to 8900 area Foale.

Seymour Clearly - 26 Oct 2006 15:58 - 6513 of 11056

OK guys, wish I'd stayed in the trade from Tuesday morning - however have joined you long at 1.8869 - for the same reason as you Foale - it looks like breakout time, however fairly wide stop just in case.

In some ways a poor trade as risk / reward not great but I fancy the breakout will continue.

Harlosh, only 1.8900? 1.900 surely ;-))

Harlosh - 26 Oct 2006 16:03 - 6514 of 11056

Probably Seymour but I think we will see some retracement before then.

The resistance at 8900 area has been there since early October so I don't think it will be a pushover.

hilary - 26 Oct 2006 16:12 - 6515 of 11056

Hola

Harlosh - 26 Oct 2006 16:18 - 6516 of 11056

I presume that is where you are Hilary?

Seymour Clearly - 26 Oct 2006 17:32 - 6517 of 11056

Hi Hilary, hope you're having a good week.

edit - yes Harlosh, I agree, and I'm expecting some congestion at the least so I might just take a quick gain off the table soon. Will leave it until morning, perhaps with an oco in place.

Harlosh - 26 Oct 2006 17:49 - 6518 of 11056

Well I was wrong there - blew 8900 away no problem :-(

foale - 26 Oct 2006 18:01 - 6519 of 11056

let 15% go at 1.8888

Hils....come back...you been at the screen all this time ....LOL

what do I do...hold for 1.9000 or cash in chips?
1.8915-20

foale - 26 Oct 2006 18:07 - 6520 of 11056

all gone at 1.8910...it was a good run...I added as we went up...so quite happy..

and there is always tomorrow...

Now flat...

I am mindful that... 1.8900 is the old high...and that was the main reason I am out
Well done to all those that are still long...

and where is that Choccy..

hilary - 26 Oct 2006 18:08 - 6521 of 11056

My neighbour in Nelson Mandela Towers speaks Spanish, Harlosh.

:o)

I would say that cable has got further to run. The stochastics oscillator on my 4-hour chart points to further gains over the next week or so, although I agree that the 1-hour charts are starting to look a bit top heavy and you could well see a retracement or an unwinding first. I'm still targetting the 1.9030 to 1.9040 region as the channel top from the beginning of August.

It'll be interesting to see if it gets there.

foale - 26 Oct 2006 18:16 - 6522 of 11056

thanks Hilary...keep in touch.. please ... lol

Maggot - 26 Oct 2006 19:24 - 6523 of 11056

Am watching your posts. There's much more help here than on the main traders' board each day. Thanks all. Am managing to consistently make small profits on cable now, even though I'm not here every day - just took 29 on an oco with a limit at 899. As Hilary has said many times, it's a question of not putting the stops too close.

Seymour Clearly - 26 Oct 2006 19:49 - 6524 of 11056

I'm out for now, went at 8902 +33 at about 6 pm. Going to be away tomorrow from early doors, back late. Now looking to next week.

chocolat - 27 Oct 2006 01:04 - 6525 of 11056

Looks like we're soo gonna be hotter than a hot thingie Hils ;)

Ended up with a few shorts yesterday morning - stubborn or what :) all the while watching those indicators all turning positive, short of the daily, before I left for work. Closed the lot mid-afternoon when cable failed to break 1.8750. Didn't get back in time to get comfy before FOMC, but I finally caught it at 1.8760.



It's just about to snuggle up to a rising support thingie now (1.8890) but I'm going to do a Hils and leave it - GDP just has to be crap tomorrow :)

That's it from me for a while.

mg - 27 Oct 2006 08:02 - 6526 of 11056

Got a day to play - went short - nervously - at 906 based on the 60 minute MACD. Got the previous high as stop - 926.

Other stuff to do so will pop in and out to see if it's cooking or freezing.

mg - 27 Oct 2006 08:30 - 6527 of 11056

Moved my stop to entry point so happy to leave it on a no win no gain basis.
