U still holding some of that from this morning? 4332

Yeah, but it's a small position that's left on the table. I'm covered at +25 on it. Looks like that was the trade of the US Session.

Honestly bro, I don't remember how the damn TIW hits. I just always try and be out of my positions before it hits so I don't have to worry about it. Not going to be the case this time unless we fall in the next 25m.

last time i got hit with the interest charge and ever since then i never hold through 5 est unless its a must, knowing how brokers are though...i have a funny feeling they should be paying interest on a good trade and charging on a bad trade. time to do some research on this lol ill report back when i have the official answer :nerd:

im short up here as well and looking for 4400, so hopefully she hits for all the shorts

I think 4400 is reasonable to look for on this short.

It depends on your positon it is the difference of te interest of the 2 countries. The interest is so small right now on both the GBP and USD shouldn't be much.. But I think you will pay on a short..

She is being a little biatch today for shorts, only one good pullback.

How funny that I saw 4295, this morning thinking long.

Like you say, there will be another setup, and i won't be worrying about the news.

This is one broker's approach - yours might vary.

Since the Fed rate is zero and if you own dollars then you will pay the interest on the spread between the dollar and the currency u are holding it against.

If u were holding cable then u would receive the interest.

I think that is how it works.
