Poor guy, you put him in too much trouble with this question

If we break 51350 again(already touched now retracing), we will be going higher. Around 53500 next.

please don't mind my words but why are you going short?

Me, wormie, magix, BT and I think most of us are long. We are no trading pundits as we play what the chart, price behaviour tell us but with such a high degree of movement and no news in sight I do not see your reason to go short yet.

Best is to put a 10-15 SL @ pip 51450 and see if you "get lucky this time".

How do you know that the price would go up?

I thought the price would move within 30 minutes to 1 hour after the news release. Then since the price just stay calm after that I thought that it will stay calm after market closes.

CABLE: Trader reporting that a hefty cable buy order ran through the

market around or just after the London fixing event but no suggestion

who was behind the buying at this point. Pair pushed up through noted

tech resistance at $1.5130/35 area for highs around $1.5150 thus far.

CABLE

In retreat quickly after stalling at $1.5150..

CABLE: In retreat quickly after stalling at $1.5150 area that some eye

as tech resistance the retreat of note given talk emerging of stops

atop $1.5160. Traders eye the tech resistance as key failure to break

keeping negative sentiment alive in the pair amid expectations of more

poor weekend press for the UK on the political front.

Sheesh man, you were all full of fire and wisdom yesterday...

Maybe it's time you sit back and learn a little about markets. The time you spend will save you a lot of money.

I fear the worst for you right now friend. IMO, you could be rapidly walking into being on the wrong side of the market statistics.
Well Magix,

I can see i was glad i made the decision to... "Go to Bed",
@04:00 Dk Hr's & not wait up for GBP "PPi", & etc... after being
out all night working night(s) this week w/'Wireless Carrier.
-Just too exhausted. Apparently, a good move for the body,
and the account.

Though it's popped North, it still looks dead & killed.
Fresh eyes & interest next week looks best!
Have a Great Wk'd,

Jeff !

Close and open are indeed a very good place to scalp for 10-20 pipees. Sometimes one can get lucky and get more like today, but long term trades where expectation is higher, is a different story.

Careful if shorting, cable could still edge higher before ny close.
Good luck.

Beautiful,

Simply beautiful...
My sentiments exactly, great chart / trade earlier there digger!

My only reason i was gonna trade was about the same,
for the end of this week, going away on the wk'd w/the mrs!
But why get caught up in it either way- this time in the day,
on 'Friday.
Have a Great one,

yes previous days high and low always an area to watch for quick trades , weekly highs and lows , the same sure you and most traders know the longer the the time frame the more significant. The daily open and close price or the weekly open close is really something you dont see mentioned much unless there is a gap in a weekly open , I have found them to be quite significant levels, at the very least well worth keeping track of a sort of proverbial line in the sand between buyers and sellers and as with any thing the longer the time frame the more signifigant
