Good luck with your shorts. I'm not quite as brave, I'm closed out and will reenter when the marketrs open.
better safe than sorry. When in doubt get out. Always know your risk/reward and never be in a position of hope.

Death and Taxes.....2 things in life we cannot avoid.
and failing to understand women - that makes 3


yeah its got to be a short in the next week - I know GE is going to get a downgrade and I know the major US banks will all be nationalized (Hugh hendry bet on this months ago with total certainty)

But the UK has horrible news brewing and the US could get some better news and that will send GBP spinning

Its a race to the bottom and its GBP 's turn next after a bad weekend for the US

then it will be the US again when Obama tops himself and leaves a note saying there is no way out and he feels inadequate

Well is it a Spike .Take a look at the weekly usdx candle and tell me the direction.
Technically its rejection off the old highs as far as I can tell.Maybe once traders see that it will not break they pull their orders,maybe its as simple as that someone starts the ball rolling at these high levels.
Anyway it was clear it would not break yesterday to me.
Still im with red pips,how bad is the world,lol


Quoting daffy
You had seen it, but the question about the spike was still being asked without any answers, so I assumed they missed my post. It's a courtesy repost.

I have no idea whether this is the real reason or not, I'm requoting what I read on the news feed, although they have had subsequent stories supporting the initial one, so perhaps it is. It's also consistent with the dollar index collapsing, suggesting there was a huge dollar sell off. A huge order with a thin market, would certainly cause a spike.

And what TP are you expecting? Around 41xx? support on 4H.
LOL, the opening gap on monday @ 4135 area made me the 300 I'm up this week from cable. I left it over the weekend. I short again @4240 since & have watched it bounced off 41xx countless times this week & not taking profit. No I will move my stops when the candle closes below 4050 & let it run all the way to 3600 if possible.

cesarg : thanks for the heads up, appreciate it.
Thank You

Not often you get it wrong Bones

I reckon its top of the channel on the daily

People make reasons up after it moves but there are two many variables to know for sure

treading carefully but short biased and no overnight or over weekend stuff

Right. The 4450 level is the other reason I'm keeping my short bias intact for the time being. I'm leaving it over the weekend and let the chart prove me wrong.

leu02cz : I think you just got caught up with the moment and noise during a relatively flat week. Don't think you should beat yourself about it though mate. Good luck
wormboy: Thanks!

Good Luck!

totally agree, fundamentals trigger technicals but techs rule on direction. Fundamentals create the sentiment in market so its' good to keep up. Markets are created for difference of opinon and create liquidity for that difference. Sentiment will cause direction but technicals will trigger entry and exits of the direction and are more accurate for trading.

aargghhh got caught out

I have small short on and I wasnt watching the clock

at 12.45 pacific time , OANDA went to a 10 pip spread on all currencies and I dont like to give em money

I will leave it on as its so small that I can take a couple hundred pips movement before it goes back in it's hole

No s/l, bareback

I reckon the bad stuff will catch up with euro/gbp next week, especially if citi dont get nationalised and GE bluff it out

I got 3 lot short positions, wanted to hold all over the weekend, but I cloesd one of them now, maybe there wont be a gap, so it will be not worth holding them. will decide if close the other 2.

edit: I closed all the 3 lots short positions.
