Looks like it bounce off the 1.9851 support, I am shorting at 1.9870 right now for a break to 1.9825 target. Will add at 1.99 if it gets that high (1.9910 - next resistance)

Yeah it's back, doesn't inspire confidence though!!

Tomaz, not really, 70% win ratio currently using 13pips, had 8 trades in a row without a loss recently, but I'm trading off M1 and I'm a uber perfectionist on my entrys.

That said considering backing it off to 20pips to remove some of the stress from the perfect entry requirements!! hmmmmmmmm

Cable's bias was down and was interrupted when Paulson spoke about US and GB cooperating in dealing with the financial markets as well as Paulson's comments on expanding Fed's role.

Now back to down bias.

Okay plans list fav to least.

UJ Short near 100.00 as near as possible, going a tad higher here.
EU Long nr 1.5795 tight stop as 24hour Support line is there.
GU is favouring short near 1.9880 area, support 50 for bounces or breakdown.

Paulson bastard nearly took out my stop. if the bias is down why would something like this make the market move so much when it surely wont be enough to change the direction of the downward trend in the pound?

It's moved back to sell side on my charts, 1.9880 then 1.9910 are key, ( 12 and 24hour sma's ) I'm waiting for a move near either for a better higher odds short.

Took my UJ short, holding for lower currently.

Wussed EU short might take a bounce off 1.5795 again though, although I fear breakage of that level later.

Your question, which is perfectly logical, implies that the market follows a logical track.. most of the time, that's appropriate .. however, the best way to deal with these situations ( news announcements/fed comments etc) is to stay out of the market during these specific times..ie..10:00-10:30 or so today.

Glad you didn't get stopped out!

me too . i only trend trade dailies so i have no real way to avoid news, i kinda have to place my stop near a good resistance level but not too far away to cause pain if i get stopped out. its difficult but im learning, im hoping this move makes me around 1200 pips down down down cable.

Actually your stastically better off in the market than outta the market comes news time.

If you consider news to be a 50/50 event on which way it will move the market, 50% of the time it will move it in your direction.

BUT move your stop tight, so when the news goes against you reduce your loss and when in your favour you make many times your loss.

Down she goes, saw it coming aswell 90min sma kicked it down on M1.
