[Uphios]

Hmmm no rush on the poll then, closes 14 Nov 2006. 1.8415 my next target.

 

[wasp]

Yeah I know, I kinda put the wrong date in...! Not sure how to change it, oh well!

I'm not hot on predicting the future too far ahead, in fact, pretty useless at it and try to just stick to the candle at the time, but I think we're looking to get up to the higher line of the triangle after a pullback mon/tuesday, with the rate decision being the pivotal point of the week.

 

[rav700]

1st trade of the week short @ 1.8835 stop @ 1.8865 target @ 1.8815
Best of luck fellow traders.....

I'm also short from last weeks baggage at .8817. I can see it dipping under .88 where I may get tempted to take a little profit but really I am looking for a greater drop into the lower .84's. Account to tight to take any risks though.

Best of luck uphios..........I am happy with my 20 pips for now..I had my limit order in at 15...which is done and dusted......Will consider a re-enty after big ben now to determine the daily trend if there is any but basically I am bearsh......

I hope you trade goes well......

My Score is +20 for the week

Happy trading :cheesy:

 

[Offshore Trader]

Morning all. I expect the dollar to rise and I have a target of 1.2720/30 against CHF. Cable action depends on the performance of EUR/GBP and the support at 66.80/90 IMHO. I have no position at the moment just waiting to see what happens but expect to be trading to the short side today

 

[trendie]

bagged 23. ( went short 1.8797, as a positional trade, as the optimal entry at the time was 1.8825. exited at 8774. )

 

[Priceman]

Took a risky long from 72 on cable... tight stop, target around 20pips

 

[rav700]

Took a risky long from 72 on cable... tight stop, target around 20pips

I am not trying to fade you but I have gone short @ 75 with a stop of 95... my target is 55....

To be honest I have gone short due to my indicators and general bearishness of the market....
Let see what happens

Happy Trading
Rav

+15 and I am out


Total target met for Day 1= +35 :cheesy:

I hope your trade works out with a bounce at this level..Price man

 

[trendie]

rav,

what time do you get up to trade ?
no matter what time I get up (7:00 pc switch-on today), the best entry is always 20 minutes ago!!

 

[Priceman]

Damn Rav you made it go against me

Nah I knew it was risky so am out for -15 anyway. Don't like going against the trend but it can't keep going down (can it )

Got to wait for the next signal now, I think I missed the short now

 

[rav700]

My First trade Was place @ 10:01 last night as soon as the market opened....and the 2nd one was about 20 mins ago.....

I generally like to just place stops and limits during the nights so I do not have to stay awake all night.....

I hope you catch the next trade mate.....hence I am posting constantly on the board

Best of luck

Happy trading :cheesy:

I am sorry mate but was just going with the flow.....

You will make 15 pips during the day no problems at all.......

I am not worried about night trades as the volatility is very low but during the day I am very careful....

 

[Offshore Trader]

Went short on the breakout at 80 and stop now at b/e. Hopeful that the USD will reach my target against CHF and EUR/GBP holds up. That's all!

 

[hornblower]

not a lot of news today !
its drifted down to my second target 735
any more?

 

[breadman]

It's on the 30 day moving average on the 4 hr chart, we could get a bit of a bounce.
