Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Back during the London bus bombings, even when the market was expecting a rate cut and didn't get it, Cable was slaughtered because of the terrorist activity. this time not even a ripple. Will the market reaction be delayed or does terrorism even matter? The market has a very fickle personality to be sure.

MPP, in a healthy trending market (as per my system) I rise the red flag when the pullback slaps the 100 SMA or the 30 SMA crosses the 50 SMA.

I look for a 2.0200 test before any "adjustment" buying on dips is my approach.

Barrier reported in this area, guess it might be tested yes.

0131 new support level to watch. Then the obvious 0100 and a cluch of supports down to 2.0000.

Hope Cable retraces a good bunch, what? tomorrow maybe.... I want a better r:r to add to longs

"I will probably lose money on the last swing (when the trend reverses), but at least I have been making money off all the previous consecutive swings up before that doomsday actually takes place"

I appreciate all that you say in your post. I just cannot bring myself to accept that common-sense will not prevail and that a more rounded market sentiment will not emerge. In other words my ego says so and so it must be.

With regard to your observation about taking 300+ pips profit versus a nominal number of pips loss - great for multi day swing trading, but being an instant gratification person, I have been learning to trade intraday, and each day of late I am utterly bewildered and confused about the potential trend for the day (not just cable but all dollar pairs).

BTW (re, Cesarncs post) - can someone please explain the significance of the $ index drop. Surely it can rise like Lazarus just as easily as fall like Jeffrey Archer.

I use the charts and I check the fibs and pivots, but increasingly strange market behaviour has now made me wary of plumping for any direction with confidence.

I observed earlier that traders such as you WTB who have this blind (subject to brail charts) faith in the trend until directed otherwise, are what we should all aspire to as traders. The trouble is that your focused conservative skill set is not easily achieved against a backdrop of EGO.

Thanks for your feedback and advice. One day maybe...

I may have found it, MVA (simple moving average), it has options high low open close and number of periods. is this the correct item? and how do you set up the lines.

I hear that, I'm also hoping for a slight drop back to 0130 so I can get in "long" again.

Good discussion this afternoon, I always seem to learn something new...

I use the simple moving average of the close. Number of periods are: 30 for one of them (in green), 50 for another one (in red) and 100 for the last one (in blue).

OK think I got that, which time frame is best suited to this approach or will it work on all?

Looked like a test to see how much farther it can go. I'm hoping for a pullback to the 0130 area so I can go long again.

Let's see what the Asian session brings...

That's why this discuss again is even more irritating. In April, in every 100 pips up, people scrambled to go short. In every 200 pips up, users were wipe out of the market and you never read their posts again.

And it was a 900+ pips run....

It is quite likely that 1.4000 level will come before 2.0300.
Any comment? Im sure you remember this post.

An authentic UK holocaust predicition based on a chart, like an incredible apocalypse written on the candles for us to know the dark and sad future of a country, in a few years from now.

Today i learned 1 thing:

FF gurus.. no matter who you are, whatever you do. You suck.

Who am i talking about? Everyone who talked about "1.9000 by the end of the month after the top at 2.0131"

"1.9000 before 2.0000." I started to believe on this, against my own ideas (old posts can confirm my idea back then), and i feel stupid but finally its over. Finally i know that the best way to read others opinions (the superficial ones and i repeat... the superficial ones) is to spit on them.

What do i mean with superficial analysis? Is any analysis who dont take ALL the info into consideration.

Is every opinion who says. This pair is going to xxxxx (thousands of pips away) because my macd or somekind of celestial picture in the chart says so.

And for the ones who say that yen pairs are not reflecting fundamentals. YES they are.

No the economy of Japan is not that weak, BUT 0.5% vs 5 ... 6 .. 7 .. 8 % IS fundamentals. Interest rates are fundamental factors, so, yen pairs are reflecting fundamentals period!

Hi MPP

Put bluntly, that "snippet" looks like absolute rubbish.

What significant factor is going to cause such a dramatic and sudden change in the markets momentum ???

And PLEASE dont say ....Elliott Wave Theory...PLEASE V
.
if the carry trades decide to unwind further it would have a definite effect on cable p/y is making a lower low and lower high .a push past the previous low seems likely,a correction to 242.50 has a high probabilty at this time. if the boe. fails to raise rates this would be a dramatic and sudden change would it not?
