Cable Update (GBPUSD)

UBS sees today's ISM at 52.0 [same projected at FF], breaking a 20 year record of sub-50 readings in the Chicago PMI never being followed by an above 50 ISM report. According to UBS, the Beige Book indicates solid growth in sectors outside of housing and that today's numbers will "either confirm or refute the weakness seen this week in the volatile Durables and [Initial] Claims numbers".

Well Bernanke did not comment on economic or monetory policy.
I'm a disciplined trader and that's the only way I trade.

The Fed is on pause, in neutral. So maybe he thinks a "do nothing, say nothing" policy will make it all go away. The man is in denial....and I don't mean the African river!

Broker screwed me over on cable long overnight. Put in a buy order at 1.9710 with a TP of 1.9748. Woke up this morning with the trade closed out at my stop loss at 1.9659. Looked at the charts and in metatrader it had hit a high of 1.9748.

Too bad I had not saved a screenshot, because now I have no way of proving the TP point.

Bad week for me, Yesterday night got stopped out on a winning trade by 1 pip.

Arrgh...sorry for the venting.

That's exactly why I always use Trailing stops.

Said nothing to reassure strength in the greenback....the world sees the US recession and interest rates eased, coming soon. ISM will be THE news for this morning, IMHO.

Considering the week and month is closing, I would expect to see some profit taking taking place before the NY close. Ideally, we get a spike up from the ISM and then a Fat sell off.

Geez,

9720ish....

A below 50 ISM should blow the doors off 9740, with a nice retracement in the form of profit-taking. On the other hand if USB and FF are correct (52), that could initiate the profit taking, fat downside. Good trading to all.
Just information; not a recommendation.

Sorry about your loss, Pasha 02, but my chart peaked @ 9746 and actually price hit 9746 several times on the 5min chart.

also, I have found MT not always reliable.

That's exactly why I always use Trailing stops.
My trading system does not allow trailing stops on GBP due to high volatility of the currency, account size, amount at risk, and preserving profits. The system works great in ranging markets so I am currently getting reamed on this huge uptrend and the broker.

Thanks for the heads up. Going to go back to the workshop and tinker with the system.

Good thing I use tradethenews.com I saw the number before the move. My Trading Platform's Squwak news did not show up until 5 minutes later and saw more movement after.
I'm a disciplined trader and that's the only way I trade.
