Let's not go to that trailer park in Ohio either

ok back to business - although I don't trade in millions, I do ok and I haven't blown my account in 4 years . That's doesnt mean I'm good - it means I stay within my limits and recognize that big bad moves happen out of the blue. My account has increased in the last few months - slowly but surely.
That means I am being entertained for free and I am hoping for the big gains that arrive every now and then

I would like to report that I am going for a gin and tonic with Liz Hurley this afternoon and that my barber says I am the image of Shaun Connery in Dr No, but in fact I am getting the grease off the back wheel on my motorbike

It's possible but it looks like the 8/20 ma's will cross around London opening and go up. "Hopefully"

Also GDP is tonite, so it could go either way.

Huge event risk with the GDP release. Rumours are that it is expected to be 0.3% Q/Q growth, much lower than originally anticipated. This could be a factor that has driven cable so much lower today, when economic data and performance of the S&P500 would suggest a move to the contrary.

I think it could be an excellent buying opportunity for this pair tomorrow, with a possible move to 1.9950 area, where the 200-day SMA is situated. There is good support on the rising trendline mentioned by Infinity.

Frustrating time for me today. Stopped out on long at 19830. Stayed out of the game then, as I found the price action to be even more unpredictable than usual.

Good luck all.

Don't get me wrong, I fully think this can go way up from here.. but I'm still not buying. Staying with my original buy targets which reside below 770.

Just wondering where 770 comes from, is it the 76 fib on the 4h you are looking at?

But that's bad risk management to lose 70 to 100 pips for less than 50 pips gain. I don't know how long you've been trading but, in time, you will definitely come unstuck using those kind of risk/reward ratios. The risk isn't worth the potential reward on offer.

I am sure that experienced traders on this forum will back me on this one.

I have been trading FX for over a year now and in that time have made nearly every mistake in the book. And your strategy is a classic mistake made by novices.

As I said before, good luck with your position.
You are so kind , thanks for your advice.

1.9(770) is around the monthly pivot. If it breaks that, the adjustment will be almost over and I will be confortable taking a long at that point. Thats all. Below 370 being the risk for those orders.

just a word of caution: Retail sales for the month of june came in much better than expected and was even revised higher. Since the GDP reflects much of the retail sales figure, should we really be expecting it to be bearish?? REALLY???
