Closed out the rest of the euro short +35 pips as we seem to be finding support here, and because I also went long on cable after the inverted hangman on 15 min Jpr's trade in reverse- not good to be short euro and long cable at the same time. I've just locked in 18 pips on cable here

Cable daily chart- we're right at the double top now- valid short territory. I'm covered, with Sl +8, so happy to sit it out and wait

Took another bit off cable +65pips. just 1/8th left on and SL up to +20 as it could fall back from here and I hate giving anything back! I'd rather get another entry lower if I can

Re-entering cable at 72, with just a half position, SL 15pips, as I've made today's quota and don't want to get greedy.

I hear ya bro.

Good to see you also.

That's why I move to B/E. Quota made for the week, don't want to ruin the weekend.

Ah, stopped out euro -7pips, and cable too only half positions though. Lesson learned, not to push it.

That's enough trading for me today not liking the price action. In the bad old days I would try and revenge trade to get back those last two losses, but I'm still up nicely on the day, so will refrain. If I were trading now, I'd probably go long here after that 35/50 cross

Yeah 40 pips down in 30 mins......

Usually it takes on average about 20-30 pips per hour.

I'm still interested to see if this 35/50 works. I'm not in it, but it closed at a nice demand level, so "should" work out
