I went long in the wee hours @ 340 I got to my computer at 3ish and decided to close @ 402.

Wish I caught that spike (or subsequent rally) but 62 pips is better than nothing.

The retail sales for usd was positive which I thought meant the GSB/USD would have went down. Why did it go up??

December figure was positive, but there was a revision on November's, bringing it down, that would total zero. With yesterday's hike on GBP interest rate, GBPUSD went bullish for the day.

I was also caught on this, price dropped like 30 pips then recovered quickly. Half an hour later started soaring... I was to figure it all too late, either

I like thinking about the big guys faces... "Oh! good figure, SELL, SELL, SELL!!!!"....hmm.... OH-OH, "BUY!!! BUY !!! BUY!!! - Don't ask, JUST BUY, GODDAMITT!"

I lost when my placed order's TP didn't get triggered then suddenly it recovered back up so I quickly bought back the position and it rose again just enough to cover my loss for the day. That was scary.

I did not enter the trade as it all happened to fast. I waited a few minutes and decided to go get something to eat, when I returned back I saw the bars climbing and quickly entered, making 32 pips.

Qwiktrader (and anyone else still out there at 23:00 gmt at week's-end),

Thanks for the inquiry Qwik, and thanks to other traders who sent inquiries by PM. I'm primarily a newstrader although I dropped in here over the Christmas holidays to give analysis and calls (a few of which were spot on). When the holidays ended, I went back to what I do best...trading da news! My asset management company also keeps me rather busy - good news is I'm negotiating with a group seeking an equity position in my firm.

But wow, I just caught up on some of the recent posts....what's going on?? what happened to the trader-friendly, collegiate atmosphere?? Seems rather vitriolic (if that's a word).

Everyone has a right to opine. Given the varying levels of expertise, we can't expect deep, insightful and intrinsically analytical comments all the time in this less than perfect world aka forex trading. We're blessed to earn(?) money in a fashion that most people don't know about and most certainly don't understand.

So chill out, accept the good information knowing there's some bad sprinkled in, and trade...make pips...share knowledge. The primary reason we're here is to make money while we help our fellow traders along the way. Pay it forward. Period. End of Story.

Cesarnc, leugimp...keep up the good work.

MoneyMaster what's new? I agree with the others in that we miss your well thought out and informative posts! We hope that you would find time to stop in a little more although it's understandable if you're busy with your company. If you get a chance I gotta ask what your thoughts are on the cable at the present moment. Many seem to think that she may hit 2.0000in the near future and with the GBP interest rate statement on Wednesday we may resume that move up there if they decide to hike the rate and/or threaten too in the very near future. However, on the charts we've been whipsawing and just based on my ema indicators it appears that we may be close to a crossover, which would mean taking a short position. Secondly, do you have any advice or could you comment on what you think is most important when trading the news? Do you wait for 5 minutes after the news release before trading, do you set up positions say 15 pips above and below the price right before a release, etc. etc. and lastly when you take profits off of news trades are you focusing on a goal of say 20 pips minimum or do you have another method to your madness?

Ok, I've gone on way too much but we definitely need to put all things aside and get back to trading the cable SUCCESSFULLY! We can only benefit from this forum if we all participate and leave the nonsense behind! So, with that said where does the cable go from here and what's everyone's thoughts?
If you can't produce some results and make some serious PIPS, YOU'RE FIRED!
