Not everyone posting has been longing!

I think 2 or 3 have been shorting cable and have had some bashing for saying so.

Key level in Euro area is 1.3520, proper breach of this will also see cable falling again. DOW also has seen a fall today maybe some profit taking ahead of interest rate announcements?

What you think living in the US ?
Any chance the Fed will raise interest? Your inflation is above 3,3 .
Unchanged is my prediction but I am very far away from fresh news :-)
There are no certainties only oppurtunities.

I don't mean to be arrogant. I had a legitimate question. I was planning to buy cable on dips but I wanted to ask for guidance before I do it. I guess I was misunderstood. Well... I am still thinking of buying cable but a bit hesitant.

never trade based on what you read on foruns! If foruns influence your trading stop reading them!

Get a trading method and stick to it!

Why isn't anyone buying cable on dips???
2 out of 3 are now open on the dips here. And there's another Buy Limit in the distance just in case.
Do not focus on making money; focus on protecting what you have.

I'm short at 9958 with a profit target of 100 pips but if it isn't reached I will close my position as always at 22:00 London time and wait for another signal for tomorrow

I always use a stop loss of 50 pips and a profit target of 100 pips for my positions on cable and always close them manually by 22:00 London time if they haven't reached any of that targets

I don't try to guess bottoms or tops or anything, I just wait for my trading system to issue a buy or sell signal

Im not in trouble yet. Im loosing 10 pips i confess, but in my mind, i just hope that the ppl doing this, learn and pay a very expensive lesson in the end of the week, about this insane selling. I just cant believe how can be possible to see this kind of despise about fundamentals, and i serious doubt that are banks and inteligent money doing it.

I know that i must respect the pure technical traders but.... its almost impossible to ignore what happened last week and what will happen later this week.

Strong economy/Huge Inflation Vs Weakening Economy/Moderating Inflation

Sell Pound? jeez. Why. Please. Open a Thread and write slowly the reason that tells you to "click on the sell button".

Reasons like......... "well i throwed a dart at my chart with my eyes closed and voila, it gave me a target, its working for now, im better continue"..

...are welcome to understand what its happening this days.

What the hell are you doing?

But ok... keep selling, because a line in the chart tells you to do it.

Just dont hit my stop until i get home to wide it.

Do you mind sharing what criteria you use in your trading system that shows your buy or sell signals.

Cable continues to look heavy and corrective as price action
breaks below the 5-day moving average, which has now confirmed the
dead-cross with the 21-day moving average. Moreover, the daily
slow-stochastic study is firmly in sell-mode and as yet well above
oversold levels. Break below $1.9890 favours move to $1.9845.

II just cant believe how can be possible to see this kind of despise about fundamentals,
Warper, I already told this here in the thread: fundamentals can be wrong for an eternity! Only reality is always right!

For a daytrader like me how can I care about inflaction, interest rates etc.? I just trade the charts, the time frame one uses to trade is very important here as different time frames must take into account diferent aspects of trading

one person here said very surprised last week: "what? how can you say that? the trend is up!"

he forgot that there is a trend for each time frame!

As for my trading system i'm sorry but I won't disclose it, probably nobody could trade it anyway, a trading system must reflect our personality so it's a very personal thing

EDIT: one thing I can tell you: it's a very complicated system, I couldn't find any KISS system that suited my style of trading
