Hi EO...great to be on line with you. I took the trade when GBP closed below its morning range on the 15M. When would you suggest getting out as SL...if it closes back up in the range...above the 10 MA or breaks the trendline?
Keep your SL above the red descending trendline I posted earlier. Book yourself some pippers and follow the move down. Remember the areas I mentioned where buyers would be sitting. For now, keep your SL moving with your position.

If anyone took the breakout trade south around 5315, you should have some pippers booked and your SL should get moved to BE. Let's see a deeper price!

526x is a good TP area along with 521x. Watch your PA for a reversal in the lower 521x area.

And people wonder why I'm frustrated. Over 30 people in the thread, and no one is talking about trading. I like to joke around and have fun, but I also like to talk about WTF is going on in the market.




Me too, and I love it when all 3 ladies go down at the same time!

How quick do you move your BE?

I took two shorts. One that then retracted to the 10 and then I got in again at the 10.

I have taken 50% profit on both and move SL to better than BE. BUt I am just wondering when its ideal to move and then how often.

Is it wise to leave at BE so that a retrace doesnt kill a closer SL so that you have made 50%

Or

Should you follow it down with moving SL's?

Hi EO, I always keep an eye on this thread, but sadly, dont contribute too much. Thats not because I dont want to, but I still consider myself a noob in this game, and I always follow the principle of "keep your mouth shut unless you got something really important to say". I want to thank you for your contributions so far, and it would be great if you keep popping back into this thread frequently. There's always something to learn from your posts.
Cheers,
KC

If, and I am not saying it will, this candle closed as a hammer just below the 200ma, could this be considered a strong reversal or does the fact that it closed below the 200ma mean that its likely to drop?

I would be cautious here because it also just closed below the low of today!

Anyone still around?

I am looking for the following action to take place:

GU = Some 35 Xover action.
EJ = DBLHC (thought it doesnt look like it will close higher)
EU = Some 35 Xover action.

Anyone in agreement or disagree's?

Lee




*EDIT* Ha.... I think they all heard me and all three of them pulled back to ensure they didnt do what I thought they would.
