Trade what you see NOT what you expect

I've been trading cable for only 6 months so this is a question for more seasoned traders: have you noticed cable involved in seasonal cycle patterns? I ask because this morning in Murphy's TA book I read that the $ tends to bottom in January (and looking at the chart he provides, tends to rise in September for several months). It also falls in line with a fascinating VIX composite of the past 19 years which shows seasonal movements here:

So far we have not seen the VIX rise. But like the $ its fall has slowed. Considering that equity markets have continued to follow seasonal movements in spite of the recession, it would seem logical that the VIX and $ will do so too, soon.

Welcome to the thread! There is nothing set in stone on the management of our trades nor risk to reward. Good rule of thumb is to use our ma's for targets and SL. If I'm in a trend trade and wanting to manage the most of the movement, I will keep my SL behind the 15m 21ema and move it with the movement taking partial profit at key S/R. There are other times my trades will only yield 15-20 pips and I'll get stopped out. Either the trade goes against the intial setup or you find a better seat. My SL might not coincide with another person's desired R:R. I do recommend you know how much your willing to risk before entering a trade. This will also help you with setting your SL. If you don't know your SL, don't take the trade. Walk away, do more research, figure out why your taking the trade. If you cannot answer the question of why did I take this trade, then you don't need to enter. Cash needs to be your position until then. I will say this, if I'm risking 50pips, my loss will be the same if I'm risking 35pips.

Trade well!

With this NFA rule coming up next week, do you think more people would move their FX funds to overseas?????

Would this cause movement to the dollar??

A quite storm brewing.......

Anything is possible.....

HOLLA

no, they are imaginary moving dollar to offshore w/o exchange.

it is still traded in US server under the umbrella of an offshore license.

but it's possible that a lot of orders being closed end of month causing a huge reversal?

I'm still short from Friday and I have some longs from 6445 as well. Both are covered, but with the turn of the last h1, I'm favoring my shorts.

Close above 6517 on the m15 and we'll continue north to 655x then possibly higher, close below 6488, we will see 645x and possibly lower.

I know my bro had a great week in the markets. He has other obligations like myself that pull him from the markets from time to time though. Here she goes south!

If anyone sold the break of 6488, book some profit and cover BE. She could just sit in this damn range up to 6510.

Hey bro! We will have a big week. Sorry to see your shorts were stopped out on the spike. You had a great seat, stop was just a little too tight since she was still in her range.
