1hr pretty much ranging now between 8722 and 8512, ...potential double bottom now at 8535/40 although a way off any kind of confirmation of that which would come with break of top of range.

Intraday recovery off the 8539lows as 5min ranges too after an upside break of the last LH of the downtrend following a L above the Lowest low of the intraday 143pip downtrend, that coming at the 1hr asc suppp trend line that was originally breeched to the downside to see the current intraday low at that 8539 area.

allow me to clarify,

i meant that fundamentally, it doesnt warrant a massive down now as in right now.. of course i don't mean it will deserves to go up, just that perhaps.. there isn't enough to make it go down way more ya.

What's your view??

Cable will be mainly led by oil and DJ, moving in the same direction as the former and inversely to the latter, in my opinion.

you can see where cable is finding resistance on this extended pullback as 1/5min trends up with 15/30 in a weak uptrend following a low 8555 above the lowest low (intraday low) of downtrend from 8684. A high too above the post BOe minutes release react high at 8632.

The intraday (asian low) swing lows area shown on the 30min chart ....support now acting as resistance (sbr) coincides with previous 1hr swing lows in same area.

That's the same in any asset class. The "big boys", as they are often referred to, do not collude with each other to move spot favourably in order to conspire against retail traders. Instead, the major banks definitely work on their own.

The big advantage that the major houses have over us, is that they can see where there is significant buying or selling interest, from orders left by their largest clients, hedge funds and the like. If you were privy to this kind of information, it is only natural, and sensible, to take on a position in the same direction of a big order, once it is filled. They also have the top economists on hand to analyse the news and economic data as soon as it is released, which gives them a distinct advantage when trying to trade the news.

Hi All,

Many have PM'ed me with the URL and to be honest I have been lazy to set one up as soon as I get home from work.

I will 100% set it up tonightand send it to those who PM'ed me.

Yesterdays short call I made here got me +94 pips :-) on 0.3 Lots (2 pips away from a margin call extremely overleveraged) but I was confident in the short.

Starting Balance: $220.00
Current Balance: $548.00
Trades: 2
Win: 2
Losses: 0
Duration: 4 days

Once I get to the $1000 mark I will be trading full lots. Once again this is pure gambling (although I am using TA and watchin the news etc) but because its EXTREMELY high risk I could get wiped out with 1 bad trade. This is just to feed my gambling needs lol ... haven't been to vegas in a while maybe its the withdrawls lol ...

If I hit my target of $3K I will stop.

Good stuff gammmase1 - it makes sense

Information is the currency of power and we dont have any except the past..

So we are on a downslide according to the hourly

All we have to do is force ourselves to wait for the next up - phase and short the pants off it

Not easy when your keyboard is straining at the cable to put a trade on
