your 9938 entry would have been near perfect. Hindsight can be so handy. But I am rejoicing. We are in profit territory!!!
Yup. Wish I'd taken it near that level. I did think about it because if it was gonna turn there was a good chance it would be a few pips higher than my more conservative entry. Then I thought about extra. Funny, I would have had no problem loading long because that's what I'm more comfortable with right now.

Better than expected Non Farm Production data - 1.7 vs 1.0% - gave it a nice kick down and enabled me to exit with a small profit - I´m now flat.

Given the slightly positive bias this morning, I´m not certain that it will fall much more before the ISM data at 10 est. I´ll wait for the data before considering another trade.
Maybe best mate. I'm considering bringing in the SL to break even. Just checking. Nice we've all got profit today. Last 9905.

Today? I've just got back from lunch and I've had a few drinks but I can't see the price Francois. Maybe my age. I am getting on, you know.

I moved my SL on remaining 4 lots to 0020. I would be happy with 112 pips for the day. It was a quiet day thusfar, there is always NFP tomorrow

I saw it go down as low as 9895 at about 1:10 GMT.

Watching the action since the NFP data, it seemed to me that both the Euro and Swissy were leading cable in their dollar positive response and that cable was not so inclined to fall.

Having said that, it is now back under its 5m 200 ema which is flat at 9916.....difficult for me to make any decision whilst its dickering around like this, so I´ll take another break till 10.

Good for you mate. As long as we're all in the money, that's all that matters.

In 7 hours the US ISM Non-Manufacturing index hits. ISM Non-Manufacturing is generally a dog, but it can move, and sometimes move big, if the price action warrants it and the deviation is big enough.
Waiting. ISM Out in 30 minutes.

You and me both. If in doubt, my grandmother used to say, do nowt. So I'm staying 3 short for the moment. IMO market sentiment of the day does have a hand in what happens after the ISM.

Brought in to 1.9895 to Profit Lock another 90 pips - 3 short remain. Trade #2 will now hit TP or SL for Profit Locked minimum 130 pips. I may scale out another couple of lots soon and leave 1 to run if it drops again. Last 1.9880.

A friend from Malta may be moving there soon so I'll be over at least once a year. I'll keep you informed.
