I guess that's about it for the hour. 9760. Which is great since I was shorting it from 9832. Still have two positions open with stops at BE after taking profit on two more positions so I guess I'll wait for the US news. Mu guess is we are further down but I would really like to see the break of 9730 to add more shorts.

Two positions that I kept almost hit SL at BE on the news spike up, so after the decline to 9760 I closed them too and took profit. I am out of the game for today. It is very unclear to me what is next. I am seeing a nurvous price action so I guess it should decide the direction for GBP by tomorrow's London close. There are quick pips on the table at that chaos but I would prefer to wait till it forms a trend in one of the directions.

You say "last time I gamble". Then ask for peoples opinion on the news ????

I've been trading over 12 years now and gave up news-related trading long go.

About the only way to trade the news profitabilly is to know the news in advance. Have you tried to talking to the birds in Chicago?

Yes it is last time I gamble, ive tried pre empting news and have lost both times. I won't make that mistake again.

Why not ask peoples views on news. I would have thought news results would help the overall picture for direction of cable.

The clever money knew it was going to be worse. Noted 5 minutes before release here. The upward momentum took a while to correct itself after profit taking. Sorry for you el_duende.

If that is so, then why did it take till 1025am for it to get above 1.9793 level from 835am. Once it did breakout, it moved higher. It only pulled back 10 pips when it reach the previous 1.9793 area.
