i wouldnt do that, wait for cable to break below 14500, then go down with her to the bottom, you will see your new gbpjpy price once cable is at the bottom.
i'm fraid your SL@127 might get taken out ...
look at it this way, cable goes up or down, either way, it's going to go far. wait for it to break then go in.
But I do not think it will go down to that level...It may go back to R1=131.74 again as I believe GU will not touch down anymore. Why? It will take some advantages from the weaken of USD....before ECB tomorrow..
Today I lost because I am using SL=100. Need to becarefull later...If am busy I will not trade...Today because am out of focus and busy with a lot of stuff and my carelessness of read the chart. Anyway your advice is higly appreciated and it's totally 100% true...Thanks

I agree 100% with you mate.
S/R as a targets ONLY.. (profit taking there) secure the trade...
BTW, Gann is a statistical value only,, an average of last High and lows... and a very OLD indicator, simillar to FIBOES, a lot of banks and Proffesionals are using, more then any MA...
GANN 10 is SMA[10] - High, and SMA[10]- Low.. that is the Gann channel, the PA always goes between those two lines... it is simple an average of it..
lol piters ... ever worked at a bank ..... ???? how do you know what they use.
I have been traidng for 5 years ... never heard of Gann before I joined this forum .. heard of a 50 period moving average the very 1st day I started trading ...
moving averages are very powerful .... more so then fibs or anything else.
they give a statistical price median .... on 15 min charts plot a 33 and 50 sma and a 14 wma ... The 14 wma would have kept you in the short all the way down from 15000 to 1.4500
I taught my wife how to trade using 50 sma as ap ivot on a 15 min chart . it is all she uses. She did not know anything baout traidng .... she double her account in 3 weeks with good money management .. then grass hopper decided she did not like my money management rules and blew her account in one trade ....
now she is using stricter money management tools
technique
1) plot 50 sma on charts
20 plot lines at 30 pip levels off daily pivot
3) if price crosses 50 sma on 15 min wait for 15 min candle to end.
40 enter under the next 30 pip line or above next 30 pip line ( long or short)
such a simple yest effective technique .... got me into gu short at 1.5100 .
take 30 pip half position move stop to break even as soon as you take half position off
here is how to make 240 pips gu using this simple technique in a choppy market .. trending market once you have 100 pip profit ... set stop to +50 and let her run

malcolmb, examine PA for cable on 15M
right now indecision ... with sellers off 1.4630. However each dip since the lows has been higher .... this is a bullish sign.
lets see what cooks later .. as stated yesterday bottoms are never simple.
but looking at what is going on with volume 60 min . the inside bar forming on daily futures and the higher lows on dips 15 min I do not think 1.4500 will be breached with ease .
Indicators will be no use to you on a bottom like this .. they are good for trends.
oh and on 15 min i see price moving aournd its 50 sma and DP....a nice 60 pip range that I have been messing with all morning

I think it's more like position building for short .. they are trying to let all the buy orders dissapear first then big drop is coming ..
