Tellon

Hi Hilary would be interested in the source of that chart above
ie the charting software
where did you get that info from?

I am currently short Euro and Cable

Tellon - 19 Apr 2004 15:32 - 973 of 11056

Old news ish..

http://www.trade2win.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9552

Or

http://www.cftc.gov/opa/enf04/opa4892-04.htm

Looks like FXCM are involced in some option fraud.. I think they where just the broker but intresting read none the less...

Paulismyname - 19 Apr 2004 20:05 - 974 of 11056

Not into forex trading as Hilary knows but stumbled across this when I was doing some research on counterparty risk (for my business) Might be of some interest

Paul

hodgins - 20 Apr 2004 08:14 - 976 of 11056

Anyone else ready to wade in long yet???

Cloggs - 20 Apr 2004 08:21 - 977 of 11056

Just long cable, but not to sure

hilary - 20 Apr 2004 08:25 - 978 of 11056

Oh well ........ at least one of us will be right in that case. I'm short.

:o)

Foale,

The chart that I posted yesterday was from fx-strategy.com. It's probably worth your while also looking at the Saxobank Market Call each morning.

hilary - 20 Apr 2004 08:29 - 979 of 11056

GBPUSD
Price: 1.8060
Day View
Resistance: 1.8085 1.8105 1.8120 1.8145

Support: 1.8045 1.8025 1.8000 1.7985



Bias: Mixed - waiting for breaks

Bullish: Break of 1.8015 confirmed the move to 1.8095 which was also broken with a high registered at 1.8143. This gives us mixed feelings and further strength is not out of the question. We see support at 1.8045 and this could hold to allow a move above resistance at 1.8105-20 which would confirm a retest at 1.8143 and probably follow-through to 1.8180-95.



Bearish: Although the 1.8095 level was broken the downside still has a chance of resuming. However, we need to be prudent here. First support is at 1.8045 and break here should allow losses to move down to 1.7965-85 at least. However, only below 1.7925 actually confirms a reversal lower and this may not happen today. Below 1.7925 implies losses to 1.7840 and lower.


GBP%20Apr%2020.gif


Week View
Resistance: 1.8145 1.8195 1.8280 1.8420

Support: 1.7925 1.7840 1.7755 1.7650



Further gains were seen above the 4-hour Pivot Cloud and also the 1.8095 resistance area. Schaff Trend Cycle continued at 100 while FXS-RSI rallied into overbought territory but is now declining. We continue to prefer to retain our bearish stance with the next stalling point at 1.7650 but must allow for a deeper correction higher to 1.8180-95. However a direct loss of 1.7925 confirms further losses.



Bullish: The pullback higher has been slightly stronger than expected and have reached 1.8143. Although it is possible that this may have formed a cap for the Pound until 1.7925 is broken we must allow for a deeper pullback to 1.8180-95 and if this breaks then 1.8280-00 becomes favored.



Bearish: We do still maintain a longer term bearish view but have been disappointed by the deeper than expected pullback. However, while 1.8180-95 holds and a break is seen of 1.7925 we would then look for losses to move down towards 1.7660 at least and possibly lower.



Month View
(Updated 19th April)

Resistance: 1.8300 1.8605 1.8875 1.9025

Support: 1.7650 1.7165 1.6905 1.6565



The move lower has met with a choppy start but we feel that we should now see losses resume and expect to see progress to the next support at 1.7650 this week. From there we should see a correction develop but the coming 4-6 weeks looks bearish towards 1.7165.

hilary - 20 Apr 2004 08:36 - 980 of 11056

I find that support and resistance lines work very well with Cable.

If you draw a support line to connect the lows of 12th and 25th March and extend the line through to this current period, it's no great surprise to see where it failed yesterday. Funky science.

Tellon - 20 Apr 2004 09:39 - 981 of 11056

Morning all,

Im guessing the

UK: March RPI/HICP inflation report (0930 BST);

I am short, foale, although I'm perilously close to my trailing stop and might even have been stopped whilst typing this post.
