Sold at 5281. Bit risky with that gap there just begging to be closed, but I'm hoping for a reasonable retrace first.
so you a bull then until gap closes? How about we go to 5000 and then you can take price up to close gap?

I'm not an expert on gaps although I did here someone posting that 90% of gaps on cable get closed within 24 hrs or something of the sort...

Makes one a bit nervous to be short but WOW! what a bounce from the 38.2 fibo, cant deny that piece of a signal...

Below DP now and looking to S1 now..

Pivot is easy, go to any forex website and they will tell you, try forexpros.com

for the fibo, go to the h1 or h4 and draw a fib retracement from 55211 down to 5184...

The rest I think are ma's and ema's...

you been a member since 2008 and still struggling with this? or you trying to say kill got a killer chart

ha! Not particularly. Haven't been paying attention today, I've been busy, so I'm just scalping a bit now. I expect the gap to close at some point soon though.

Jeez, UK economy couldn't look much more grim now these elections turning into a farce. Herd mentality leading to a Lib-Dem craze. Hung parliament/more Labour on the cards unless people grow some sense and vote Tory. Volcano shuts down airspace ... we're having a rough ride. This should be an interesting currency pair over next few months - isn't it always ?

13 pips up on that cheeky short, will be out soon I think.

Closed my short at 5262 for 19 pips. That'll do for a five minute trade - not greedy. Went in heavy too. Woop.

Now this is my problemo! I've got to the point where I win more trades than I lose, BUT I take those trades out so damn quick. 20 pips and I'm happy, ha! Need to hold them longer

At what point do you move your SL to BE? See, on most trades I've tried to hold for longer e.g. 100+ I move my SL to BE after about 25-30 pips and get spiked out. How far do you let it go before moving your SL?

Good. I have decided to hold my short too. atleast till 5227. not a significant level but that will make my balance a well rounded figure lol

I move SL to BE after 30 pips.

well, I'm into letting my trades ride, I think it is very important as if you dont, even a 90% win ratio could still lose you money as you cut your wins short but let your losses run to s/l...

I'd say choose the next resistance level and let it run to there, see how PA reacts and make a decision... Like now, 4h looks great for short and we should see 5200 at least IF we break the 60 level here...

Nice greens but gotta let them run. if it breaks 60 I wouldve closed half my position and moved my stop to just above 60... if 5200 is reached, close all???
