Try and keep things simple and not worry too much about your indicators. Remember most of them are lagging and the information they provide is there on your charts anyway. Looking at the supp/res levels we are at a important level in the cable being towards the upper reaches of a 5 month range on the daily. We are either going to breach the 6598 level and head toward 6744 or reverse back lower. Personally I dont think the pound deserves to be at this price and im holding a bearish sentiment. If your not sure wait on the sideline and let your 4hr/daily...

This pullback in GBP has saved my account. I was £3/point short at 1.6508 from yesterday and at the worst point I was about 450 points down. I managed to get out at 1.6491 for +49 points!

I shouldnt be trading more than a pound a point with only £900 in the account (now 950 :-))

I must think more about why I am placing the trade and the overall trend. I must use stop losses. I should not increase my position further compounding losing positions.

I think I will get my books back out.... here endeth my lesson :-)
repeat it again and again. tell your friends, tell your brothers, tell your momma that u're not gonna do the same mistake again. trading can be extremely seductive and u might repeat the same mistake again. over leverage.

Hello I'm new to this thread and I just read your post. In fact I think you are taking care of your account well from a MM point of view. Proper MM says %1-%5 risk for every position. If you are putting one pound per pip and the position gets stopped out you will lose small amount of your account, but provided that your set SL not more than 47 pips (+3 spread) max for a ~1000 pound account.

Cable is a nice pair to trade. I wish green pips for you all the time.

im confused as to what i should do. indicators are contradicting eachother..
many say that indicators will conflict as they do lag. the thing i learned a year ago was to find ONE indicator that u may like, LEARN it well, and as you begin to understand it, trade it and trust it.

too many indicators will definately mess up things. they will never all agree and to trade by multiple indictors will make YOU confused and mess thing up. Learn one... trade one...

there are many here on this forum that i constantly look to for analysis, such as azim, navin, alb, and a couple others. But when it comes right down to it, only you can trade for you. you need to develop a style.

I look to these gentlemen for great analysis and honesty in trading, but in the end, will make my own determination as to take a trade or not.

understand also you will lose occasionally. forex is a beast and has a mind of its own. u just need to learn to outwit it for more gains than losses.

too much input will overload circuits...

now, back to lurking....

Hi guys,

I was double checking my IBfx H4 chart with other broker's (Alpari, ODL, FxPro, Broco, SigTrader, and FXcm) and noticed that the IBfx 4 & 5 Digit charts had a different H4 bar closing (see highlighted candle) than the other brokers. I guess they're going for, let's be different (by around 30 pips). Just by the look of that bar I got out of my short order with profit and ran (a blessing in disguise perhaps). LOL!...

Note:
I'm using various servers from different brokers and displaying them within the same FXcm MT4 platform. This is why the charts below say FXCM but it's really from IBfx (you can double check this).

Chart order:
1) ibfx live account gbpusd h4 10-22-2009
2) ibfx demo account gbpusd h4 10-22-2009
3) fxcm demo account gbpusd h4 10-22-2009
