I'm glad I closed my short for a few pips before news, it would have come back and bit me in the arse. I don't trade news normally co anything can happen.

it can take 12 months to happen or maybe 8...its not happening quickly...its a monthly chart
Even if it happened in 12 months I would be suprised, and what use is it if it does? It's not like its going straight there, I might as well predict that it will reach 1.85 within the next 3 years. It probably will.
I trade in longer timeframes, but I think if you are analysing the monthly chart, the key is to try and establish where the bottom is- if it has been reached, or if it will be retested, or if there will be a new one. And if so where?

hey Micho, you might be able to salvage something from this, looks like she's trying to push down.

its based on a formation broadening traingle and technically we have sank right from the top....it cant just sink without making lower highs.....rate cut like this is about boasting a recovery.action is taken and traders see this as positive..

the weekly chart suggest the bottom support is rejected and this matches up with my trendline on monthly to the pip......so as far as im concerned its a possibility....
this is why im going on a micro account cause this is how i want to trade eventually forget the news and just trade the direction.....

ofcourse right now we need a monthly close to make a trendline touch 2 points then a projected top can be estimated...so 1.93 figures i pulled out of thin air....it it all depends on the monthly close

I definitely agree with trading the direction, it's what I try and do.
And in my opinion, it's down. At least for the time being.

Are you kidding? . its the biggest rate cut since early 1980s. Those spike is purely technical and design to hit everyone stop loss. Poor guy.

  • Nov 6, 2008 7:13am Nov 6, 2008 7:13am
2x 25 pip stop losses hit = -50
+ 140 pip long
+ 140 pip short

= profit... Now what?

Decisions purely based on FTSE market movement.

Lets see what S&P does this afternoon...

guys, what is the target for now? thnx
My target is as low as it can go, but I doubt that will help you much.
Trichet's speech starts in 15 mins. That is bound to give the euro further direction at least. Which invariably effects the pound.
I believe on the short term, it will revisit the low from the spike.

Has anyone got a link to a video stream of the speech?
I don't know if there is one, but there often is. I can't seem to get onto the ECB website.
