Yep I'm short from yesterday - looking for 42-ish

I see that she (GU) has come back down from yesterday.

I guess the 1HR 62ema bounce was more like a stall and drop.

Anyway...don't forget UK Annual Budget Release in about 90 minutes.

Until then she will probably stall/range.

Yes it is Win....

What has been taught is after you have taking some profit, to cover your remaining lots with a protective stop. Some use BE (breakeven) others use +2 or +3.

This way you can not lose on the remainder of the trade.

Morning everyone,

Hope your all doing well today, cable finally dropped last night, I managed to get out at BE before I went to sleep. Im not looking to short this at the moment. G/J is looking bullish and has been trading along an ascending trendline for while now with no break. At the moment im looking at 2 things, we might be in a wedge or we might be trading in a new channel, with the top of the channel as the bottom of the old trendline. I cant post a chart at the moment for some reason

One more dumb question. how do I post a chart? It asks for URL when I want to add chart. I don't have a URL site. I tried to copy and paste - also cannot work. Help.

Im being very cautious at the moment, I think if we break out of this wedge to the upside we could go flying! USD seems to be having a hard time right now pulling this pair down

What about 62ma bounce off?
It's edging. Up or down?

Stochs are up, but there is hangman forming on 15M.

I'd better grubb a cup of tea.
