I am not in a trade but I just saw this...

It was a nice shampoo play...
I was thinking about that but I wasnt convinced at the time, shame could have grabbed a bunch of pips

I did sneak a long in there quickly after I closed my short. Thought it was risky at the time but it looks good now. Currently 60 pips up. I am just a little surprised at how quickly the longs move in relation to the shorts. It leads me to believe the rumours of a price push down to release some dollar positions. I note the Eur has not moved up. yet. A move up there could help this long??

May as well take some profits at the 61 fib and let this baby do her thing.

Dow is looking quite cheerful too.

Ok Really am off to get the beer now... Al, all serene if the pass is shut. Nice!

yeah I heard mention of it during the day but Bloomberg said this had just happened about 10 mins ago this was. The market seems to have reacted.

They have to give them the money now otherwise its index shorting time next week

Could be a plan. What I don't get now, is if cable is rallying so hard, why is Eur sitting on her hands??

hi man, for my opinion i am not sure about cable. but euro's run isnt over. if cable wants to follow euro maybe it will rise but if it keeps acting independent i dont know... i haven't traded cable much this week but cable should end up in 1.5x sometime later... im sure the other members here can give you their analysis as well... what do you think guys?
Might be right, if I don't mistake, the last 2 or 3 friday usually be ended close to level opening or at least moves to that level !
I only trade XAU/USD. Based on USD news & Fib SR & BB20

Navin check your chart again. You correctly identified 14832 as support, and that support held, it wasnt broken only pierced even on the 15min

Your limit trend line worked properly, but I still need more confidence to apply it, because not familiar yet therefore I always late to make an entry and only get +40 pips from short and long then ! It is not so bad for my 4% account blown today !
GBU bro !

You said yourself "risky as hell" your supposed to be looking for high probability not low probability. theres no high probability trades from this point in my view its 50/50 from here but as im already long im holding to see if it can push higher.

Dont worry i used to do the same thing all the time
