price seems to be stalling though and if it doesn't reach my first tp soon, I will have to exit(especially since neg reversal is starting to form in immediate short term).

I'm out... too risky (FOR ME) to stay in. I'm currently managing to recover losses here....

Will wait for upcoming news

its ok, just remember it is important to decide this before making entry at all times, not worth taking risk if not going to give yourself the chance for reward. This is true for all setups, the only time you should get out is on stop or if scenarios change, even though they may be changing now, it is not yet confirmed, and even if it was confirmed, may not be worth quitting right now to save myself 8-10 pips unless I plan on reversing my position. As for this move down, my guess is a short term double bottom. Could be wrong though, that why only 2 lots.

4 hr is poised to turn up, if it doesn't break 65 and turns, we can look for a nice move up.

Cable hit another support which is the close price of last week, together with the trendline it may hold the cable from falling but there seems to be heavy selling today,even on the bad news. although USD fell initially against the pound then retraced and went higher. My projection for the day is that the lows will be below or just slightly above 1.95 area.

This is my first post on the forum to share my view.

P.S. Im trading with oanda and they have open orders statistics which went from bullish to bearish on the cable this is partly why im bearih

Got that... But I was foreseeing the expected retracement for quick pips. When it stalled my feelings of risk/reward changed... Manage to stay profitable yet, could have lost 20 pips - way too precious to me so far...

Thanks for you comments anyway. Your strategy is clearly the most effective for larger profits... Unfortunately I'm not in position of risking too much pips. So I'm going baby steps until I reach my targeted balance here...

I bought more on the way down at .9600 and 9588. I just feel the ISM is going to be weak today.

I would like to see price reach 9575 before turning(strong support on 1600 tick chart).

i think ISM will spike at least 60 going by the previous data.
anybody has a contrary opinion?
