thanks Splashy,I never noticed it. It seems to be going through a quiet period at moment,hopefully pick up soon as I think the stuff in the last month has been some of the best. I wish newbies would stick around and not think they can get the holy grail by reading a few pages and then disappear when losing trades are called. They only want winners and seem to only remember the last trade.

Anyway a toast to the next 1000 pages:cheers:

Yeah, but confidence is fragile for newbies, especially when posting trades alongside seasoned campaigners. Its understandable that some will retreat into their shell a bit.
I noticed a drop off in posts but everyone's playing cricket, wandering around Kos, kidnapped by their kids for the hols, picking strawberries and generally drinking too much wine in the sun. As soon as the summers over and its raining outside, they'll all be back.
I seem to be gravitating towards indices a bit more than i expected and not trading much fx at the mo hence not too much from me but i'm sure i'll be back with my tail between my legs too when it all goes t1ts up! 😱

Its cutting it fine,what close do you mean 9pm or midnight

Yeah its not looking good tbh but im going to abide by my stops.

On IBFX its going to be around 1am but I use other brokers too to double check on discrepancies.

(time was wrong)

Just thought id mention that its kind of important the way the daily CS closes on cable. If it closes beneath 1.57765 AND 1.57670 then good news...

Forgot to ask why?

 

[D.Gilberto]

Forgot to ask why?

For me i`ve noticed how price swings at old swing high` and lows but the actual CS closes beneath the prior swing high... Meaning its giving me a bias for a short.

Just something i`ve noticed and recorded along with a lot of other stuff!

(use it in conjunction with retests, tl etc)

Morning all

Still in cable trade now set to take 1/2 off at +25,with the stop at 1.5810. Out for a while

 

[ZEN archer]

I'll try to see if this is a genuine break out for GU

Long order @ 15807
Stop @ 15763

I'll cancel it if it hits 15763 before 15807

PS If it's a genuine break out, target should cover much more than the risk (a nice triangle there)

It's been around b/e or a small loss most of the time. I would have preferred at least 20 to 30 pips profit strait away, but it's a pattern based on daily charts so it may take time. Also there is a possibility of it being a fake.

Although it doesn't look too promising there is no need to despair - I have a stop in case it doesn't work

short cable 1.5772 sl 1.5810

-38 x 2

not a good start to the day and taken my profits for the week. Im still not convinced this cable is upward and we may have had another spike

 

[D.Gilberto]

entered too GBPUSD:

Entry: 1.57742
SL:1.58101

-35 points

Yup I agree.

I was thinking about my stop placement last night, but I had already factored in 2% and didnt want to do myself over by moving it further away.

Im not going to re-enter short on cable here as nothing annoys me more re-entering on same market like a chase.

Just my opinion.

 

[Lord Flasheart]

looking at cable and also gbp/aud. Shame my good run came to an end.Im still ahead for week but only just. Im really tempted to re short cable but couldnt suffer another spike so will look at other pairs. This gbp/aud looks to be approaching top of a channel

 

[D.Gilberto]

If price pulls back on Cable to 1.57365 - 1.57275 I am all over it long.

and EURUSD: 1.23852 too - like a tramp on chips.

 

[D.Gilberto]

Sp 500 looks like its going to sell off here (1411-1410) area

 

[D.Gilberto]

looking at getting long on EURGBP

looking at getting long on EURGBP

Im hoping I havent missed it as I really like the setup.

 

[Lord Flasheart]

short gbp/aud at 1.5140 sl 1.5160

Im hoping I havent missed it as I really like the setup.

Must confess that im ever so slightly annoyed...

 

[Lord Flasheart]

as soon as I took the trade it fell 10 pips. It looks like my posting was just before that happened. If you look closely at the chart you can see the entry price shown by the green line and the price below. Id hat anyone to think I was posting late. Im hoping this was the perfect entry and never a pip down:smart:

 

[D.Gilberto]

Hopefully it works out well for you of course, but I`d see more in it before sell off...? I may be wrong and obviously its just an opinion with no conviction (i.e. money!)

 

[Lord Flasheart]

Heres clearer chart,rectangle is entry bar at 14.44 t2win time so it was only a few pips out when posting.

cables frozen today?
