FX Trading June 11th - 15th

Hooray for cable! Now if it could only be like last week on a regular basis we'd be laughing!

Been a while since I started one of these so here we are... Not much news wise this week by the looks of things.

I'm personally biased short on the larger picture and think its about time the pound slumped. Not that I particularly wish it too but just my thoughts. Anyhow, I let the charts lead the way so best not to think really...

Goods trading all...

The dollar looks promissing...and Yes I believe that the cable should depreciate some what.

extreme high n lows

In regards to what I was saying last week...

When we see new highs and extreme peaks, it has a tendency to reverse rather swift and big.

The first in '79/80 then again in '92 and even from the other side. These things, if they happen in 3's, could prove costly for the pound and despite the US economy, whats holding up the pound, the UK isn't exactly in great shape right now... could be an interesting 6 months...

The bearish run not loosing steam yet (technically). There may be a brief rebound and then the downtrend proceeds. At the moment, both of them move at the same pace.
Next immediate target : EURUSD -- 1.3310 ( if the chart pattern in early January 2007 repeats); GBPUSD -- 1.9600 (if the chart pattern in early March 2007 repeats). However, the rally may not extend much further.
Anyway, nobody can really 'time' the market, too bad for us (retail traders).

hi all,

Got a double pattern for USDCHF with identical targets, which is a nice confluence. keep an eye on it. nice pips to be made...:cheesy: seems like it will be buying the dips from now on.....

a) nice reliable pitchfork (targets in pink)
b) inverted HS - triangle (what ever you want to call it) (targets in blue)

targets 1.31

looks like more sales than furniture stores on a bank holiday for you j. maybe you should open a shop or maket stall.....

having seen your avatar, think there is a market for hair products :cheesy:

wow, you are one handsome dude brutus :cheesy: where do you cut your hair?

is there a kind elliottician out there that could tell me if this is an ending diagonal on euryen? cause if so, i may also enter the business of selling euros :cheesy:

thanks

j

well, took the short on euryen @ 162.70 nonetheless, stop at BE as it is past my bedtime, and we shall see if we get 250 pips out of this one :cheesy:

and if it dont work, ill just reshort it at a better price

Morning all. Not clear which way its going (or is that, dont care?!!), but am waiting for a close above or below triangle on the 1H. Hence, Im looking for a close above c.9685 for longs and below c.9650 for shorts.

Hope you all have a good week.

morning,

good to wake up and be in 50 in profit. only 200 to go.

good day all

j. some of us are so ugly we have to keep very long hair as a disguise

however i do use loreal....because i'm worth it,with this much hair their sales must be soaring...might pick up some of their shares. maybe add them to your

edit: nice entry by the way...making £ while you sleep now thats cool

activated Short ,entry 1.9670 at the mo.

Tried placing mojo's on higher timeframe(4hr, dailies) , but for some reason, (likely to do with the coding) they do not display right. sort of mental zigzags up and down. Probably something to with the volatility code , so stuck with intra session timeframes, they will have to do...

Anyway short 1.9670.

short at 1.9660 2-lots. (Bagovino MA-X on 1-hr)
risk: 30 pips

Morning all,

Slightly worried with my longs this morning as the consensus seem to be favouring shorts, will have to stick it out and tighten stops on the contra. Target 9740

i must say i favour a consolidation for today, testing 9720 and then a fall in the afternoon.

sitting with a not so comfortable euryen short now myself , but thats the name of the game.

Morning all,
Hope you all had a good weekend.

Looks to me like we might be setting up for an inverted H&S buy on EURJPY on the hourlies. Got a buy stop above 162.80.
