This was a hell of a day for me. Testing my emotions to the extreme...

Sorry I didn't see your post - yes it was good for +33pip scalp from 8729.
What made this level stand out? I don't see anything there other than maybe a barely perceptible bump on the side of the upslope around Dec 5.

It's a 4h s/r line used many times and close to 50 Fib of the long rally from Oct-Dec 2008

Looks like the cable did stop at 1.47 . I'm currently short again on the GBPJPY... 50+ and counting...

RC, you think it's possible that the beast will go back to 132?

Very likely, although it's at some 5m support now.

Yeah, I'm watching S/R levels on the M1. I might close if it breaks resistance.

Anyone watching the resistance line around 1.17 on the USD/CHF...price is coming up on it pretty quick.

Hey, mattpajek. Well, I didn't pay attention to the news and had some losses on the cable. But got back a good part of that loss and now I'm short on the GBPJPY (90 pips currently), targeting 200 pips. That will bring me all the cash back plus 2 pizzas. LOL


PS: How was your day?

Don't worry. 23 pips is great. I'm in the market for 14 hours (yeah, 14 hours) and struggling to walk out of the market with no loss . I'll pay attention to the news next time.

PS: GBJPY is now 103+ pips

I closed at 100 pips. Enough to cover my losses and leave with some profit for today. I'm going to sleep. Nite nite, guys!

Sucks for me because I can't stay up during the London session to watch them...have to rely on limit orders.

Possible breakout of usd/jpy below support @ 90.78. I'm in a long there because it was good-looking SR (also 38 fib of last move up), but it's looking like I'm going to lose on that one -- it's been hanging around that line for hours now, forming an obvious descending triangle.

usd/jpy... wat triggered the CRAZY spike?

jus managed a short on 92.15

UJ was really crazy, I read that it was because of spread put option playing, not sure what that is though.

Knightz, it looks like you almost caught the top there!
I have difficulty finding this level in my chart, 91.57 seems to be much clearer to me, but it was bursted right away

Could you (or anyone) show me how to find that level being a nice resistance?
Thanks.

Good morning guys. Is anyone watching 1.2456 - 1.2500 on USDCAD for a short?
  • #8,417
  • Feb 6, 2009 1:39am Feb 6, 2009 1:39am
Heres' the chart. Sorry. Looking at oil though, it bounced off resistance, so I'm not sure I'll be going long on USDCAD.

Actually, the area starts from 1.2345, where the spikes are. Pretty big supply area. I'll monitor it and see if I get some reversal confirmation.

Here's a safer bet. A real no brainer on the EURGBP (0.8600 - 0 .8568). It's very clear on the H4 and Daily charts. Must be a strong area of demand.

Hi,

I'm not going to be trading on a NFP day but cable sure does look good for a bounce . If it gets there a while before the news hits the fan I might just go in for a few.
