No worries, It's not such a bad trade tho but I would not want to enter this late. My short is currently sitting on 100pips and my smile is now touching my ears and making my face tingle. Why do they make it so easy to make money in this game sometimes...

We bounced on the 23 Fib of the of the 4H move at 149020 so it could be back up or down thru it from here.

Yep agree if you used a limit order then your sitting in top of the cash.....good stuff man....I simply did not like the fact the market gave me long wicks on the 1 hour chart and that does not fit my style of trading ...so I will wait for a setup from the 4 hour chart most likely...nice trading men....I cought the long but dont feel good enough to trade short yet...maybe in an hour such....will most likely pull the trigger from the 4 ...

The one thing about cable lately is that you need to be quick to enter on the shorts at high resistance areas and take your time with the longs as the H1 candle have flat bottoms and tall top wicks. A bit like my mother-in-law, she has a big bottom and short fuse...

Fundamentally I think there is a renewed risk appetite making cable more attractive as the equities markets have been rallying up this morning by 5-6%. They are a little more unstable now tho leading to a lot of traders taking profits from longs and no longer taking profits from longer TF shorts. It would not surprise me too much if we do not return to today's beginning point 14730 which would be a retrace of 61% of the 4H move leading to a slower recovery of cable. I don't think it will but I will be happy to profit from it.

More likely tho I think we are in for a bit of ranging till the USA wakes up and raises the flag to send the other currency pairs into retreat. As EO says, trade what you see... I am only expressing an opinion...

I have profit targets of 14820 and 14730.
14730 is very attainable I think. Just above the central pivot and 618 ret as you say.
NY usually reverses London direction, so hopefully this will add some push to the move.
If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Just as an aside. I am looking to get a group of Forex traders together for a networking meeting to share idea's and tips and just generally chat and see whether it could provide some mutual benefit to one another. No cost or profit incentives or intentions, just purely a social and an opportunity to share.

If any of you guys is local to or near to London,UK and would be interested in meeting some of the guys, send me a PM and I will keep you posted on dates, etc.
