I just took a long position, not huge, but good. I'm quite happy with the prospects of this. Given the manipulatd volatility, I had to give it lots of slack. But, I'm pretty sure that the RRR is on my side with this one.
Ok. Not much support till 1.5375

Daily support.. 1.5662 and 1.5620 by my chart.
Other than S2, of course.
The trend is not your friend, it's your master.

I don't think so, but I've just been proven wrong. So atm, your guess is as good as mine till after the nfp dust settles
Wormie,

Just a thought here. I subscribe to a service that give me current reports etc. Here is the one for NFP. If accurate it should blast back up like a rocket. They have a long report that backs up that -40K number but it is too long to post here. We shall see.

Come on you guys..

The GBP/USD has been in a sell mode for the last 3 days
Why have you not been cleaning up pips? 300 pips in last 3 days
All I read is I am going long... why?
Trade with the trend on the 4 hr chart and make pips
Stop trying to trade against the trend.

Cheers

Smokey22
I did clear up but never post trades as too many people here like to argue the point and not trade it........

Well, I am not sure and I don't like to speculate with news, but with the NFP Actual > Forecast = Good for currency; thus what I posted would be less than forcast, thus would be bad for currency.

Please though I do warn, do not trade off this info alone since I don't know how accurate it is and if this would even matter..

Trust me you've not read all of it. And it's not been in "sell mode" for 3 days, it's been 5.

Cable positions took:
1. http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=4538
2. http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=4542

Some of us here can afford to lose some after the massive gains. No harm trying to long at a major support level. Trading with the trend is not the only way to trade, it's just a safer way to trade.
Go on and open a fresh short position above support when the H4 level still stands and see what happens.
Thank You

1.57 should now be resistance, and news in 30 should push it down further.
then kaboom!

My plan anyway

No worries C,

I felt that he wanted justification for the long positions some of us took, thought I'd walk him down memory lane last week when the "trend" was up and most were building longs when we already began to short.
Yup, i'm off to play with worm junior now
Be back at nfp, trade well my friend. Good luck

It's been in a 7 day down trend with a 3 day sideways movement in the middle then continued with its down trend.. but who is right or wrong as long
as you go with the trend and smile
