Might close my position if I see a full green candle above 50MA...
Not sure what 50MA your talking about Flo.

Perhaps, you could post a chart with the time frame you watch, and better define which 50MA you are watching....


I am not saying you are right or wrong, but I hate to assume what people are saying, when it is so easy to just ask.

Calm down folks, nothing's happening until we hear from EU, perhaps this weekend.

Cable might stay in this 200 pip channel for a while. "Big Guys" who were covering their shorts by buying are not doing anymore neither selling, decision awaited.

Also, there is no major UK news until wednesday next week and nothing for US until thursday (how depressing). Market will be manipulated to the fullest so trade safe.

Time frame - 15mns
MA - 50
The strategy I follow is very simple - if I have a green candle above it - buy signal - providing there is volume and vice versa for a sell signal

so here 1345 and 1430 are a sell signal...stop loss above the last high and target next S1 OR S2 depends on you...

Cant' post a chart as I am at work - I trade from work - oops!!

The beauty of the NFP report is that Unemployment remained steady even during a wintry period. Labour and economics now appear to be moving in the same direction. This kind of situation is not normally good for the Greenback but we've had a tumultous 2 weeks and so anything can happen.

Meanwhile, so far, GU and EU have been moving hand-in-glove. Considering that the latter does not have much room downstairs, the bears should be wary

It's very clear that Germany will not bail out Greece it sets a BAD example of existing govt and to other EU countries should they seek support.
IMF needs stepping but, that's also complex since IMF is supported/funded by countries across the globe and some (big boys) might have objection to it since it's technically europe and as euro as single dominating currency in use it should be supported by europe not IMF. Hence the reason hedge funds are betting tonns of money against EU.

I have doubts that pound will see the daylight of 160 soon, and Euro above 140.

All the reasons in the world not to buy for long term, and all the reasons on the chart to buy short term

Let's play each day as it comes.

Don't be too sure. We're dealing with politicians and diplomats here. They will blow hot air as usual and at the end, will cause more confusion in the market

hi magix, this is my h4 chart of the past one week. can i ask which h4 support you mentio has been holding since sunday/monday?

Quoting Magix
Dunno mango.

Every downside push over the last 6 weeksish has been a lot stronger than what we are seeing.

Every time we have seen a support line, and especially after covering the retrace zone, we crash deep into a new low.

That last low from Sunday/Monday still seems to be holding, and the downward pressure weakening.

I am not saying buy...but until we close that below that H4 support, I am still gunna trade the longs.

A little cornfusion my friend.
The low that was set Sunday/Monday is the low that is holding.

The support is one that we crossed over on the 3rd. 24SMA on 4hr chart.

I work off of moving averages, not price points or hand drawn lines. Support for me looks a little different than does many...holding inside of support on a moving average to me says...market doesn't want to go lower yet.

Red line on the chart, and the hand drawn green line.

Price has moved down and has pierced this line, but we haven't closed below.

To me, that is not necessarily a buy time, but not a reason to get all giddy about the next 500 pip downward spiral yet.

From there, I take trades on the lower time frames.

well,well, well

now that is something interesting

being a known fact that goldman sachs has been supporting greece for over a year now and with germany out,

the trouble there is far far deeper then i thought

if european union still helps greece somehow then euro will tumble faster.
germany is barely protecting its own economy by staying out of the mess
