cable terribly weak seems no1 wants to buy it at all,
no way u can go long without hedging...u would lose yur account..but saying this...1.8150 area if it crosses then....then will sink to 1.7 without a retrace..

Hey local good morning. Yes if the four hour candle closes on the lows I most likely will be buying again. Didnt work out so bad yesterday the trade yielded about 100 pips. Nice thing about that didnt have to sit around all day in and out of trades to get it.

One thing that might stop me today is the long weekend. I usually don't hold many trades over the weekend, but yes I will be buying more cable for sure. If not today then when the market opens again.

mni saying that bids also likely at 8150 area on any extended 'with trend ' move, the area being Dly S2 8149-53. Plenty of room for movement re average daily pip ranges, 118pips the hi-lo move so far today, well within the 5 10 and 20 averages of 203, 176, and 179 respectively

Hey Guys.
This has been the worst month for me (trading and non).
Haven't had many opportunities to trade. Been too busy with work. So saying, am now jobless (hehehe lots of time to trade from now on). Lookin back at the month of August it has been one of those kind of trends that is so eeeeaaasy. (in hindsight of course). I am always looking for long positions on cable though. have to change this mindset.
Anyways......... happy pips to all of ya

Let's review long positions and what was possible pips this week.


Sunday/Monday we got a close of four hour candle at 1.8413 it rose to 1.8590 Possible 173 pips

Tuesday: got close of four hour candle at 1.8345 with a rise to 1.8489 possible pips 144

Wed: close of four hour candle at 1.8314 closing near the lows of the sunday close of 1.8314 or so. Rose to 1.8400 possible 86 pips.

thursday: close of candle around 1.8250 with a rise to 1.8341 possible pips 91.

That is a possible 494 pips this from following simple rules for entering a trade. Most those trades had little or no drawdown.

4 trades this week meaning You wouldnt have to sit in front of your computer all day. Wait for the market to come to you and take the trade.

One thing to keep in mind is the time of day. I only trade the London and New York session mainly with few exceptions.

I really doubt that anyone can say there system yielded almost 500 pips on one currency. If you can say your system did I know it wasnt in four trades. Most likely 10-12 trades or more.You could have literally pounded the pound this week.

Steelhead,

Good job on your short position from yesterday!

I still contend that you are counter trend trading. There is nothing wrong with this style of trading. The key is for it to work for you and your risk/reward appetite.

I'm sure when the overall direction does change, you'll be calling shorts!

Please post a chart showing the setup that you look for on the 4 hour to confirm the trade.
