I would only keep the cost of my trip down to Jamaica and back, hotel and expenses and maybe some souveniers of course.

cause of profit taking its only going up now cause its a retracement and when there a resistance it probably sink again..but i hope your right and it goes quite high ...
nav if you don't stop all this I will spank your botty !

leave the retracement pips to someone else and only short the peaks IF you are convinced the trend is down

If you think GBP is miraculously going to come back into favour and go to 2.04 - THEN you can go long

don't chase the market or it will meet you coming back

It's definitely a woman and only cool dude stuff will win the day - start chasing and you will get dumped

Im not trying to boast my ego, but I is happening just as i predicted. Broke 8300 got people panicking the four hour closed around 8250, and up she goes.


I am trying to help but you all don't listen. Big boys are not selling down there they are positioning themselves to the longside.

Big Boys.............LOL!! its a retracement buddy.........i.e. profit taking.

Just shows your inexperience in trading, longs are not called until what??

You made another good call for the bottom as you did yesterday. But yesterday you were calling for a 700-800 pip move to fill a gap that no one can find. Additionally, not all gaps are filled. There's a gap from Nov of 2007 that is still unfilled. The overall trend is down. It's 3:45 est and profit taking is happening. Not to say that this will not continue to rise because it can, but she falls easier than she rises lately.

You think that kinda moves happens in one day. It takes time for that to happen. I am enjoying the pips on the way up though.

This is not profit taking. this is the professionals positioning themselves to the longside. Why is it so hard to understand that.

Trade what you see and I hope your profitable. This is a counter trend trade at this point in time. I don't see a full commitment for it to start going long again. We still have lower highs and lower lows, thus a downward trend.

Here's me pratting around with forex trying to make a few k - and taking my eye of the fact that my entire UK wadlette is with the Halifax/Bank of Scotland which could go keel up any moment

As there are only a handful of banks in the UK, we are used to thinking of them as unsinkable

In the US its normal for a few hundred banks to go pop every decade or two so nobody is surprised

I will sweat it for 2 weeks til I can get back over there and haul it over to the HSBC which should be un peu less crashable but crapo interest

I suppose 7% interest rate should have alerted me to the danger

It's too late to change it to USD and spread it around in the US like Paris Hilton

All this does create a downward spiral even if it's only perceptions - and I see 1.70 beckoning

and religion too ?

' no religion. thats hard to imagine" its easy if you try John.


To answer the question about timeframe and time. I trade around the close of the four hour candle. For instance the 9 am pacific candle this morning i went long.

I usually dont trade during asia or slow times. Most trades are taken during london or New York.

During the day i work on building my buisness, but also like messing around in here. I take 3-5 trades a week. i wait for the system i trade to setup and take it. Sometimes i only get one trade during the week, but i let the market come to me I don't chase it.

When I do take a trade i follow the number one rule in trading. Let your profits run cut your losses short.

Where I live in the deserts of washington state, everyone has a gun and a pickup and they believe in jesus and they are prepared to shove a hot soldering iron deep into the eyes of anyone who doesn't to teach em a lesson..

It's IRAN but with cowboy hats

They even have a law to say LEGAL aliens can't have guns as they don't want anyone shooting back.

Tony Blair could not shoot clay pigeons on a sunday morning - it's a deportable felony

It's a bit different to England and that's for sure
All I am a native of the great state of washington. what part of eastern washington do you live in. I grew up in Issaquah and Bellevue, and recently lived in Duvall. I dont live in Washington now, but it will always be home

i have to ask this ..yes it is a trend reversal from long to short...theres no sign right now to say this is going up unless u thinking hurricain is going to damage oil supply and oil is gonna go nuts and we hiting a hectic weekend where it all reverses...? ..is this what u mean

wekkly and monthly ned to show a pin or something b4 reversal can even be contemplated.....

i get the buying low thing.....thats why i want this to really tank...1,7 sooner the better...if it goes up im in bigger mess..at least if it goes down 1000 pips i can make sure i have a bottom and ride the puppy up..

yeah im gonna hold my short order and close out tomorrow when I feel its right. I dont want to hold it through the weekend because sunday nights have always scared me. Take your pips and run mentality. I also wanted to ask if any of you guys use a pocket PC to watch/adjust your trades during the day? Im a electrician so Im not at a computer all day. Just wondering.

Happy pips

I have considered doing that as well because i have a day job of about 3 or 4 days a week. I do my trading on MetaTrader which have a Mobile Terminal version which could be a good way to track trades. I don't think Blackberry's will let the software work. You could also get a smartphone, so you have the benefits of a Handheld PC and Phone in your hand, i thought that would be a better idea instead of spending a few hundred on Pocket PC.
