Closed that short flat (+0.5), didn't really feel comfortable with the trade, although looking to short again from a better entry level.

Harlosh - 13 Mar 2007 07:43 - 7661 of 11056

Still short Cable.

ptholden - 13 Mar 2007 08:03 - 7662 of 11056

Morning John

Opened a dodgy $/Yen short last night at 741, something of a knee jerk reaction, had to slap myself on the wrist! Doubled up a little later at 761, just closed the first trade (+9) and moved my stop on the second to guarantee (+10), can go for a coffee now:)

Harlosh - 13 Mar 2007 08:30 - 7663 of 11056

Morning Pete - covered for a smallish profit but out for most of the day now so good luck with your trade.

ptholden - 13 Mar 2007 09:03 - 7664 of 11056

Stopped out for +18.5, think I might have got me stop just a little too close to the top of the channel :S

Harlosh - 13 Mar 2007 16:10 - 7665 of 11056

Never mind Pete, a profit's a profit but got to give room for them to breath.

Must say though, I hate to see profit drift away from me cos I got out too soon.

ptholden - 13 Mar 2007 16:37 - 7666 of 11056

Got myself all muddled up today to be honest, closed shorts far too early, and then got my timings all wrong when opening a new trade which has resulted in -46 pips, however still up overall on the day and still short on the Yen/$. See what happens next.

chocolat - 13 Mar 2007 17:05 - 7667 of 11056

Still sound a bit muddled to me ;)

ptholden - 13 Mar 2007 17:08 - 7668 of 11056

Puddled more like, it's the company I keep ;)

chocolat - 13 Mar 2007 17:25 - 7669 of 11056

Take it you sold the $ there, not the Yen :P

ptholden - 13 Mar 2007 17:49 - 7670 of 11056

How should I know?
Flat now +50 odd on the day :P

Harlosh - 13 Mar 2007 18:09 - 7671 of 11056

Well done Pete.

ptholden - 13 Mar 2007 18:13 - 7672 of 11056

+55 as it turned out. Should be happy, but after all the messing around, quite disappointed really. Back to drawing lines and reading those rules :S

chocolat - 13 Mar 2007 19:11 - 7673 of 11056

Nice one pth ;)
Reading now, is it :-#

ptholden - 14 Mar 2007 10:02 - 7674 of 11056

Reading, that's in Berkshire isn't it? :P

Managed to nick another +15 last night, so quite a profitable two days. All I have to do now is make sure I don't give it all up. My lines tell me support is at 11525, so short again for the moment.

ptholden - 14 Mar 2007 10:34 - 7675 of 11056

oops

Typing error, put my stop in the wrong place somehow and out for -18, stoopid mistake :( Off to golf in a sulk.

Harlosh - 14 Mar 2007 11:55 - 7676 of 11056

Cable forming a base for a push higher soon?

Harlosh - 14 Mar 2007 12:18 - 7677 of 11056

or a push lower to 9180 area.

hilary - 14 Mar 2007 13:43 - 7678 of 11056

1.9280 or thereabouts looks to mark falling resistance on the 1-hour.
