Was kinda blind sided on cable hedge while away from puter but locked in pips so no worries maybe can add longs on the bottom and average for retrace and resolve the negative drawdown on it.

Chunnel longs are thriving

and trying a short Cadbury CT for a little pullback maybe would like 0483 where longs to add are sitting

Benssol, sorry Bro, I don't response you.
I have fallen asleep yesterday night, I didn't take any of my long positions because my long position at 2.0502 was not triggered. I shorted at the red horizontal line 2.0369 (at post #21479 or page 1332 of this thread) or less profit. I know that I should have shorted when the uptrend daily break down. I gave up or missed the profit.

oh, ok...they are not brokers but I wonder if they were, would people's position suffer for such "glitch" ?

That would really be bad....

if somehow a "fat finger" keyed in a wrong number or a glitch like that happened and you got stopped out on a real broker I would call and complain. it happened to me at FXLQ and the guy at the desk went in and set me back to where I was.

that's nice to know....thanks



Anyways, as to why all of a sudden GBPUSD is going down even with bad US news.....guys, it all comes to this: what goes up, must come down.

All the people who made good money on the recent climb of the GBP had to sell sooner or later, and that's what they did....

Longterm, however, I still see the GBP going up, especially when all these negative US news keep coming out....in the long run the $ will suffer....just my two cents

This may be in terms of initiating new Dollar long positions - however the extreme COT numbers are warning of a correction pretty soon . We have small specs extreme long and commercials extreme short. Once the snowball starts, it will be hard to stop until commercials start shifting their weight.

Remember correction earlier in the year. So many bought the idea of 2.0000 but at the wrong spot - then the correction came and everyone forgot about long term trend and leveraged up to cover earlier losses, only for the trend direction to kick back in and wipe em all out. Not saying go long dollar, but be careful. I have been right many times about where price is going only to lose money not taaking into consideration how it can get there.

Theres alot of leverage out there adding to dollar shorting at this point in time - Once this starts to unwind, be prepared.

I too am on sidelines waiting for big correction to start buying again. 130 looks very probable in coming weeks. who knows but 1 thing is for sure - COT is extreme and warning of a big correction or reversal.

Looks like the COT extreme readings have warned us again of this overextension. Trend still looking strong and will be looking for good safe levels to enter buy orders.

Like cesarnc said....

Look for the pound to head down to the 50% retracement from this last high, which would be around the 0140ish level before I go long. Unless we get back to near 0350 which was the last push up this morning before the longs threw in the towel for the weekend. If it gets past 0120 or lower then we will be heading back to the important 2.0000 AGAIN...

Just my two pips.....
