[29Investments]

Morning all.

$2 this week ?

TIC data later today is always good for a big move and might help shove us within striking distance.


Good Luck

 

[hornblower]

the main players seem to be pushing it to $2
and will short from there
where will target be on the way down ?

Hi everyone,

I think we are going to have a very volatile week. Planning on cautious trading this week.

See the pound coming off it's highs before surging to $2. Short term bearish. I think it will test 1.98 and maybe 1.97 before surging ahead.

Gold = $688 means dollar weakness and inflation still weigh on markets.

Good luck to all...

 

[trendie]

as long as it starts being volatile soon.

can anyone get better than an 8-pip spread for GBPJPY?

SELL 1126 GBPUSD at:19918.5 t:19880 1hr

SELL 1229 GBPUSD at:19912.3 t:19915.3
BUY 1239 GBPUSD at:19914.3 t:19917.3
SELL 1355 GBPUSD at:19920.8 t:19923.8

BUY 1444 GBPUSD at:19911.4 t:19914.4




short term targets outside 20-daily bollingers bands rnt avaible as I mentioned below at "events"
GBPUSD is range bounded inside BB 199890 +10 +20+30 is more or less available
it didnt make any sense to me to add a target at "t:"
t:uvwxyz = t:askprice in time

 

[Offshore Trader]

SELL 1229 GBPUSD at:19912.3 t:19915.3
BUY 1239 GBPUSD at:19914.3 t:19917.3

Can you explain what you mean by this post? I had thought that t meant target but obviously not.

Jacinto are you still looking at EURJPY ? I dont normally trade this pair but it just looks SOOOO overbought and the studies on daily/hourly and 10min all look like they are turning over so have shorted at 161.96.

yes i am 29I, last night, saw the gap, shorted, took a loss, went to sleep. right now I am flat, eyeing it. agree, looks like it is about time for a short. Eurchf could be in a similar condition.

last night it touched a multiyear high. I am waiting to see if it breaks it or not to take a position. For the moment, any shorts I am seeing as pullbacks of the larger trend and therefore being extra careful with tightening stops ASAP. but you can be right, and this is the top.

on the other hand, have been unable to trade. have a 4 year old on holiday (her school starts next week ), and lucky me, a little friend came to play, so I have to play Shrek edit: and I get to be the blinking donkey :cheesy:

good luck on the short, could give some pips there
