long cable 179.70

think i'll stick with the ftse in future !

Somehow, Beebs, I'm still in the trade despite it going through my stop briefly. Don't know if it was me who'd set my stop at the wrong level or a dealer's generosity. Hey Ho.

same here hills, so busy trading ftse didn't put a stop on,
turned round and saw it at 179.10....oops,

however, an hours a long time in the life of our dear friend
the cable, so still long, and now in profit.....

another hour rushes by,
and bang goes the profit,

just like a whores draws today !

if we fail to break 180 on the next run up i'm out,

or is 180 wishful thinking......

yo-yo job,
very frustrating morning on this one,
nearly had to put a margin call on that
quid you owe me.....

this one gets better, and would you
believe the ftse short gets worse

Hello everyone:
Where are all the FX traders hiding???
Gone bit too quiet on here so decided to bring it from the bottom depths to the top where it belongs.

zarif: I dunno. Where's that Hils?

I'm still here MM. If you weren't already long, you should've been long from the upside break of the pennant this morning.

Hilary nice to have u back.
What are your views on cable - Dollar Bull?
Managed a couple of shorts earlier -nothing spectacular.

zarif,

The Euro and the Cable are both forming higher lows and highs on the 5 minute chart, although there is resistance to a downtrend at just below 18400 on the 20 day chart. Any move upwards over the next 2 or 3 days will likely see resistance selling there.

I can't see the Fed increasing rates tonight, so they should both go up. Long stops on a move below 17939 (Cable) and 12209 (Euro) being the last lows as a precaution.

Thanks Hilary:
long cable atm.
Will adjust stops as suggested.

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.

Waiting for greenspan to start talking in 13mins.

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.

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.

Beeblebrox -good shot on the short cable - i managed to get in at 181.59 and got out at 181.12. It was a quick one to say the least.
