Will Crude Oil Inventories index added more preasure to GBP?
Still seeking a Long entry ...
it might
if US had a good inventory number (better than expected ) it could push oil down and dollar up

which might have a ripple effect on cable.
or not
thats a long shot

Buy order placed at 1.9534, downchannel on the 4hr was close to being touched which was enough for me to go long.

OK just for some added pressure I added a long at 1.9522 will bail out or hedge if we go below 1.9490 (This one is now gambeling )
hope it goes through your expectation...not just because of my tiny reversal trade but also covering your losses..
but like everybody says do not add to losing trade...

1.9500-1.9470 seems an interesting area for a retracement, if one likes to pick bottoms. I like the 1.9500 level.

Anyone differ?

Thats actually bad logic, if the reason you entered is still valid but the price has gotten cheaper then taking advantage of the cheaper price is key, especially if your trying to pick a bottom then scaling in is key!!

I'm pissed at myself. I had my take profit at 1.9505 and I was going to go long at that moment... but it started moving up after the release of pending house sales (fake move up) and I closed it early. What number did it get to??? 1.9504!!!!!

I don't think it's going much lower than that- there is an exotic option at 1.95 and it's getting oversold. I think that will be our bottom. However, I've been wrong before.

I end up doing this a lot- do you guys? I will make my plan.. have everything set out.. and then chicken out and watch it do exactly what I thought it was going to do. That's the freaking worst.

Have the same prob. Costs me a couple hundres dollars over time.

Still ah newbie. But that prob is a slow killer for me.

3hour sma 1.9535, 6hour 1.9555, watch for resistance at these levels ( remember there falling ) These are my 2 key points to bust through.

Target 1.9570!! +50!!

I trade through Oanda and another company, but the FX News service with Oanda will give you that kind of information when it is important to know. It seems like when there is a big option like that- not often does it break through unless there is something major. I was thinking since we are oversold pretty good on the 1hr chart- it would probably hold.

This is my strategy.
I just trying to avoid stupid retrace. 15% is good for me to get in. Many times I see sideway movement before break the 15% retrace so, why worry if price is not going any where but sideways?
See chart bellow.
