Well this is more like it, went long again on cable at 54 so much happier now. Good movement everywhere now...yay!!! $2 and beyond? Not great timing as I have to finish now for the weekend.. doh! Good luck to all. Edit: out at 84 for +30 pips

Oiltanker- nice one taking some pips at least, I keep holding out for a decent move but ending up at b/e. At least for the moment I think I may have to start grabbing 5 pips at a time. Just seems wrong somehow!!!

Stopped out at breakeven. Maybe been a little zealous in moving my stop to breakeven at the moment. Think that is just a lack of confidence in this market. Looks like swissy was the best ride of the morning, nice short from the pivot. I was out so missed it.

Long cable @ 52

Well, sounds like a few of us are getting wrong footed in this current market, lots of talk of the good old days etc. I'm curious as to how many are perhaps losing a bit of faith in their systems. I have had a frustrating day so am a bit filled with doom and gloom. Am I over reacting? We all...

Tempted by a short signal on cable now BUT @ 1.9920 it's a bit close to the pivot point AND a trip south earlier in the day failed to have legs and burned me. Been kicked around by Euro/yen as well. So I think I shall call it quits. Hope you guys are having better luck than me today.

Well it's all frustrating at the moment, went long on cable at 26 just before the news, get 15 pips in profit, move stop to breakeven and promptly get stopped out. Nothing lost this time. But this seems to be the story of all my trades at the moment if only I got out at break even each time then...

Well I'm off for the weekend. So I'll avoid all the NFP madness. (Good move? Bad move?, we'll see).Good luck to everyone today. Hope it's an easy ride.

Well after this afternoons action anyone fancy a trip back 1.9600??

Brief flurry of excitment. Turn down for a bit now I reckon.

Nothing for me today so far, seems like we are just treading water, wonder if this is it till the numbers tomorrow?

flat in comp and real life. Time for a cup of tea. Hopefully some direction will emerge later.

I'm long cable in the comp. Still waiting confirmation in real life. It looks like up but with out conviction at the moment.

Thanks TPF, not my normal style, but very interesting trying it out. Not sure how much attention I will be able to give it in the long run though. Maybe if we get stop and limit orders etc it will have more meaning. BTW. good job seeing off that compost fella!

LOL, hmm 59 trades, think I've got trading comp tourettes!! Please be assured that in real life I have only made 9 trades this week....
