To be honest, I am so @#$$-ing relieved the price dropped back to 1.9660 levels. The last 2 days have been living hell for me holding onto a bad entry - short @ 1.9680 last Friday. When the price shot up to almost 1.9900 because of bluddy Wachoiv bank, or whatever the #@$# its called, I almost pissed on my pants. Thank God for trendlines.

Now closed it for 0 pips. So damned relieved I tell you. No more impulse trades...
u did well to hold out that long ..i find with myself if the entery is bad then i panic and end up canceling the position at a loss, good im fine...and i missed the opportunity for a short at a very good price all because i thought it will go back up...sometimes u just cant win ...

I short at 1.9693, looking for a few pips before rebound if come true ! Just closed for 10 pips. Another test for the unknown area between 1.9677 - 1,9717. My feeling will be reversed up, but no one knows what is the market trend in hours next. Two important things during my 4 months tradding experience, the patient and the specific method strategy are the key success to enter the trade.

the only thing i can see why he did this is because yesterdaly canle was bullish and we have completely over turned it ....expecting a retracement back up ..

I see. I still think until we see 4h candle closing above 9725, g/u should continue down. I am guessing he went long because 30min RSI hit a low. The last time that happened (around 9688), retracement was around 40 pips meaning 9725 will act as a strong resistance for the time being. But you never know...afterall yesterday we did see 270pip rally from such low RSI level.

On the 1hr the down momentum has slowed and as long as the suppotrt at 9650 holds, which we might see retracement, once this 9650 support is broken, there shall be a nice breakout do the downside probably lasting several days with the potential target in the 9400 region, or even slightly below it. There is still a highier timeframe direction which makes me to choose shors on retracements, atm, which also stands in agreement with time cycles analysis I use on a highier time frames. Overall my long term bias is long, and shall be so until there is the change of direction on a daily timeframe, yesterdays High I am tempted to count as a fulfilment of EW pattern, though it came a bit early for my liking.:cheesy:

I suppose taking a chance at quite strong support level is still a good way to make some quick pips even if g/u is falling in the longer time frames. Since g/u respects channels and trend lines quite well, personally I will wait for the pair to reach support near 9600 before even thinking about going long. Meanwhile I will keep lowering my stop loss until we get there.

There is a Double No Touch option at 1.9615 that is worth 2mln pounds until next Thursday- how does that factor into a break of 1.9640? I'm just wondering because it seems like options do a pretty good job of bouncing rallies or extensions.

I'm a newbie, but that has been my observation.

Don't you think for such rallies to take place we will need to build up stronger momentum on the longer time frames? G/U and E/U are not able to plunge yet even after terrible UK/EU news mainly due to record oil price. Lets see if pressure on USD eases after the news.

I am waiting for a H4 candle open/close below or above 1.9677 to make another trade ! Maybe late, but already got 50 pips, I think not so bad result today.

I trade on technical analysis and myself do not try to understand the rationale for the present cable performance. What the charts tel me is that on a highier timeframe the direction is south, and that SBR priciple would apply to 9650 level. So I am shorting looking at T1 &9578 - the spread (9575), how and when do we get there, I do not know, poss near the close of the session, if we travel at the present speed on the displayed 1hr chart.
Happy trading

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, about time we crossed friggin' 1.9650. Now, there's some direction, and back to the Abuwad system!

Daily S1 @ 1.9622
Daily S2 @ 1.9516

If cross 1.9600, then I'm shortin' this baby for a ride down. Probably not today though.
Trade the reaction, not the news!
