foale,

I think a lot of people are put off because the low margin requirement prompts them to trade overexposed positions. There are also a lot of scalpers on this board. Ask any analyst at any bank and he/she will tell you that Cable's a carry trade.

I'm currently out of the market and possibly might be for the next day or so because I've got some other things to do. My personal view of Cable is that it's still a short although I suspect that you're currently seeing a rally to form a fresh high later on today. If/when that high is in place, a straight line drawn from the Monday high to the fresh high would be an excellent short stop loss and a signal to reverse to a long.

Thanks for that Hilary

...funily enough
one of my reasons for trading FX is that I tend not to overtrade ie pos size
relative to modest capital allocated to this
Dont know why my disapline is better than in CFD's as its 200:1 gearing
and always place stops and limts at the outset...probably more scared of the downside

once I learn to do that consistantly with CFD's then I should see better profts there...also like the volatilty of FX

Close long at 1.7760 just now...and now flat

Morning all

Good Morning

EUR/USD looks to be breaking from the current downtrend to the upside atm. This could pull Cable up with it. Cable is still in a downtrend though which may take a day or two to break before you see any real gains on the long tack.

Agree Hilary Euro well bid this am...with cable being the poor relation

Wholesale prices up 0.5% in March, up 0.2 ex food and energy; Jobless claims fall to 353,000 in latest week.

Cable strugling over 17720
