i got next resistance levels at 14470, 1.4525 area then 1.4655 potentially,

support near 1.4238, next 1.4070/80....

did any1 long sub 14150, that last spike looks like stops triggering
nice bounce from there

Wouldn't this be down for the time being at least. There is a nice BEOB(Bearish Outside Bar) on the hour, well according to the James16 teachings. Additionaly a nice Pin Bar on the 15m. Hit the 61.8 fib on the daily from the 16th of Jan. A bit of a confluence of fibs there -ish 50% fib from 8th of Jan on the Daily.
Anyway just an opinion.

Additional to this, although early days/hours but on my chart there is a BEOB shaping up on the Daily if it continues south.
Just something to watch guys n gals, profit locked in on my south journey for however it long it lasts.

sorry dont agree mate were going back up again to 1.5
I agree with pipland...

this was a small retrace..and it may reach 61.8% level..so far 50%

Pound bulls are relentless..and will run hard and test 1.5 shortly...
too much less negative news for UK coming out lately.

My call yesterday that the immediate US news would be cable bullish was monumentally wrong, but I still see a bullish trend forming till the next mpc meeting.

id say to u ...its just a question of knowledge...i have been trading since april last year and the world knows ( i will tell the world...given the chance..) that i been battling just to keep my money and lossing it!

been a tough fight to say the least.

u got to come to terms that yur trading is based on direction, the best place to enter the market is where a barrier is (support and resistance) u then just gotta pick where u think it will go....AND UNDERSTAND YUR SIMPLY SPECULATING..when yur wrong it wont kill u cause u knew u can get it...

Sorry to hear a fellow trader losing funds, but worst part is losing spirit.
Best thing to do is:
1. Go back to your winning months and then go through January.
2. Identify all your good trading entries and define style and approach
3. Now, go back test in the month of January in January
4. Identify if this would have been a winning month if so
5. Now get on demo account and stick to a consistent approach
6. Once it is a winning month..get back on the horse..

Dont loose your spirit..its only a matter of learning experience = (time, sweat, blood,...
I appreciate your advice. Many thanks. I will come back again sometime next week and give it another go.

yep ive taken half my long off waiting to close the rest and short or add if we break

I knew there would be people in here saying if she breaks that area highlighted in red i will add to my longs.


Classic sucker play. I know there were plenty in here trading the break of that redline to the longside. Congrats you were had by the market makers.

Yes, the safer way to trade that is to wait for price to come back down and test the resistance to see if it will become a support level. You would need to go down to a lower timeframe to watch the price action.

Its going to hit that resistance are again around 4400 and how much you wanna bet there will be people in here saying go long the break of that again.


I will be looking to short it if it does that. Let me just repeat that i will be looking just looking to short. So all those wise guys that like to play peanut gallary will understand i will just be looking.

LOL I did add to my longs but not there. She didnt break that area only pierced it, price didnt hold, if it did I would have added. When we BREAK (not pierce) 4415 I will add more.

Happy pipping

This is good advice. Another thing to do is keep a trading journal and make notes of every single trade you do. After awhile you will easily be able to see the mistakes that are repeated and you will be able to take action to correct this.

This vastly improved my trading. At first it is an effort but after awhile it becomes habit.

Steelhead explain what makes such a professional, and discouraging the new traders from trading. You are a PHUCING disgrace to this forum.......you should have put up a post about why you didn't play that move and not say 'congrats you were had'........you are the real loser here.
