no.

if you looked at the price action after the consumer report, you would have seen that the bulls were losing steam and a heavy barrier was set at my sl area.

what if the price didn't reach within 10 pips of my sl? then i don't trade.

that's where the volatility gets factored in you calculate your risk award ratio to see if its worth getting into a trade or not.

i think cesarnc put it nicely sometime ago when he said "no position is a valid position".

correct.

a couple of tips:

a) what works for others most likely won't work for you.
b) taking or even considering trading on someone else's signal is a fast way for you to lose your account.

hope that helps.

Bulls are limping, Bears are sleeping. And I'm dumping my GU positions ASAP until definitions by London....

Either the market is going to lift Cable above 9726 before news, to prevent from USD-positive news or we're going down.

Seems, just seems, too much time stalling within a narrow range. Today was a 60 pips range day for practical purposes...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. Gulf Coast, which is still rebuilding almost two years after Hurricane Katrina, faces a renewed threat of powerful storms this year, private forecaster AccuWeather said on Tuesday.

British forecasting group Tropical Storm Risk this month also predicted an active storm season. It forecast four "intense" hurricanes during the 2007 season, which runs from June through November.

"This year's stronger storms are likely to be the kind of disruption that will be felt in wallets and pocketbooks," he said.


U.S. gasoline prices reached a record high of $3.057 per gallon after Katrina, which caused oil refineries to shut down and companies to evacuate workers from oil and gas producing rigs in the Gulf.


After Hurricane Rita hit the region a month after Katrina, as much as 14 percent of U.S. refinery capacity was shut and about 80 percent of crude oil and 66 percent of natural gas production were down for months.

Just noticed a pack of GB news, forecast positive, just ahead of US Durables...

None of them seems a mover, but the whole pack coming out positive may provide a prop at least for ultimate 9726 testing....

Yes, we are having direction tomorrow...

I know this is thread about GU but I think EU may become the better pair to trade in the coming days/weeks. Cable could be stuck in a range while the euro moves higher.
