Well you haven't missed much here. PIPs have been hard to come by. Scurrying around from screen to screen (various setups) trying to see which "systems" price action is respecting. It's been slowwww.

Yep I can see that the last 2 days we have seen price wind up tight ready for a big move. Question is which way. Probably best to let it go and then wait for a pullback before entering. But knowing my luck it will move 200 pips without looking back

Watch out for false breakouts though, you dont want to be triggered only to see price move back into the triangle and out the other side.

Where have you set your orders?

From the BBC on the BOE:

The Bank's own calculations showed that a cut to 2.5%, or even lower, would be needed to stop inflation falling too far below its target next year.
But the rate-setters decided such a big cut would come as too much of a shock.

So another cut on the cards, looking to be 1.5% in December 2008.

I just took +15 on a long from 2622. Had a trailing stop of 20 on it, hoping for the time when pa took off upward. Got as high as 2657 (+35) and pulled back. I'm happy with that trade.

On the sidelines again, but got a pending long at 1.2667, again with trailer of about 20/25. I'm also sitting on a short that is -45 at the moment; holdover from yesterday. Prepared for either direction.

Daily range yesterday was 133, about 150 off previous week's average.

I am playing this for just about anything. I've played both walls with stops, I've played both breaks with stops. The break plays are set far enough out of the walls to provide some comfort that the break is in play.

Playing this way is new for me. Preparing in advance for bigger moves that is. All the lines are on the chart so I figure I will approach this differently. I typically only end in profit at the end of the month if I focus on scalping.

Typically when I work the larger time frames it is with very small amounts that are cool to see move a large number of pips but don't really add much value.

It is doubtful that with my small move mentality with larger position sizes that I will hold any position beyond 100 pips, LOL. I move my stops to BE or small profits so quickly that the probabilty they get hit is close to 100%, LOL. In fact so far it is 100%.

Hey, wasn't you that was going off to "fix his equities"? That didn't take long. Good trading to you, if we ever get some volume to trade.
