foredog started this thread More lows on the 1400 bar

New stop 15295 (15367-15223 = 144/2 = 72)

Cable plunging to new lows again, so much for me expecting a bounce! Just show you should trade what you see not what you think!

New stop 15254 ( 15295 - 15213 = 82/2 = 41)

Stop will now stay at this level until tomorrow when well either have been hit or look for more lows.

so far if the stop gets hit we'll have taken 514 pips for a 55 pip risk, that's over 9:1 not a bad return

foredog started this thread WE now have a buy signal

9am bar 14893 - 14993

10am bar 14905 - 14951

So stop buy order placed to buy 5.4 contracts at 14955 (293/54 = 5.426) Stop loss at 14901

I have used the previous balance as our profits from the short trade have not been booked yet.

I have now moved the stop on the short to 14955 as this is a reversal signal.
