£ strength was insane this morning EO, whereas the Euro was weak, and against a weak dollar e/u didn't have much of a chance. I'm watching $ LFX, it's trying to stabilise but not quite there yet and is threatening with a further fall...

As shorts have paid out well from 65xx this week, we need to be careful up here now. We are at the end of the week/month. Cable came running up here, but look what didn't come up here (EU). If EU should start a move north, I can see it pushing GU higher as well. Line in the sand for the day is 6530. This line is there for me until my next h4 closes in 3h 19m. If we break it but have a full bodied h4 candle close with a small wick but still under 6559, then I will short it again on the turn of that h4. I'm off to take a shower and get my son to school....
Sounds like a plan.

If you go back in the thread from yesterday you will see that I mentioned that 133.00 may be the bottom at the present time. Then if you look at the 1 hr chart you should notice a pattern.

all I'm saying is that every time you come on here and tell us about your past. Last hour, before the rally, you could have mentioned something. No point at all in pointing to yesterday, it's no help whatsoever (which is the point of this forum, obviously)

The point of this forum is to help you think about what you see not to just make trade calls. If you go back to the thread from yesterdayI gave everyone a heads up on what I was seeing. Now it is up to you to go to your charts and determine for yourself if that rings true with you. If you would have taken a long off of 133.00 yesterday and held it I guess you would be sitting pretty good right now. I have taken several trades both long and short on her since then based on PA and S/R and a couple of easily identifiable trend lines. It is all in the charts.

I don't think for a minute that EO has any intention of this thread becoming a signal service. Everybody has to make their own trade decisions.

That's all very good -- we're all aware of the obvious, thank you. For someone who pulls in more pips than EO and Infinity combined though, a little more insight would be useful. I can count on one hand the number of times you have actually analysed a chart in the past month. You dont' have to of course, but then please don't come on and flaunt your trades after the fact, it's just petty and plain silly.

I have not cisco, I've been on this thread in the past under another username, I'm not entirely new. I am just tired of seeing the same thing every day from someone who is not contributing any analysis

Why do you feel the need to come on as another username?

Did you take the long from 133.00?

In any case I won't mention it again. Apologies for the disturbance, it's just ridiculous to see this every day. You can see my own analysis and trades in my own journal -- I don't take calls from anyone, but I think sharing analysis is important.

No I didn't take it pippi. I've given up on e/j, it's not for me. Just cable from now on.

I got a few laughs already from his earlier post bro... he has done his fair share of humoring for today....

You have proven yourself over time that you know what you are doing and you constantly provide good analysis and opinions on the mrs and mistress. Keep up the good work and don't be deterred by negative comments.
