zarif,

If those stops are a little too far off the current price, may I suggest that you wait until you get confirmation of the fresh low (which you should get ahead of the Fed), and then adjust your stop loss to a move below that new low?

Once the low is in place, you should also be able to connect the low from today with the low from yesterday to form a support line to the uptrend. You will then be able to use that as a rising stop loss, staying long in the trade until the line is broken.

Brilliant advise Hilary -many thanks again.

zarif - 16 Mar 2004 19:03 - 696 of 11056

Waiting for greenspan to start talking in 13mins.

hilary - 16 Mar 2004 19:06 - 697 of 11056

zarif,

The Euro low certainly looks to be in place ...... I had hoped that the Cable might go a bit lower though, so I'm hoping that the low is indeed in place. I've adjusted my stops and have left a series of limit orders to add to the positions if they rise.

I won't be hanging around waiting for the Fed ...... I'll just let the system work automatically. It removes all emotion that way.

zarif - 16 Mar 2004 19:26 - 698 of 11056

Hil Cable went up like a rocket and am locking profits in atm.

thanks
ps: u r right having to decide when to "hold and Fold" trades.Your system certainly would eliminate the Emotion element.

This could be a BIG down move!!

Beeblebrox - 17 Mar 2004 08:31 - 705 of 11056

morning doll,

pray tell me why ?

woz it coz you got out of bed the wrong side ?

hilary - 17 Mar 2004 08:43 - 706 of 11056

Beebs,

The stronger trend is the intact downtrend which has been in place now for over 20 days. The up legs within that downtrend have so far been good for around 300 pips, but this last 3/4 day up leg hasn't produced anything like that. The rising support line of the up leg was easily taken this morning and it's already moved to form a lower low than the Tuesday low.

Currently finding support around the 18080 level. Forex News suggest next support to be around 18020 and 17975 below that. Friday support is around the 17900 level so that should also be key.

Actually, I couldn't care less whether it goes up or down so long as it goes somewhere. The lack of volatility over the last few days hasn't been good for my system which works best on firm trends lasting several days.

Beeblebrox - 17 Mar 2004 08:51 - 707 of 11056

you'll be dissapointed to know that
i agree with you..........

wots this, harmony on the forex thread !

hilary - 17 Mar 2004 08:55 - 708 of 11056

Unanimous vote in the March minutes dampens speculation of a rate rise in April.
