Absolutely right. I lost my focus early in the slide yesterday and assumed that it would stay within the previous day's ranges. It has a habit of moving 250-300 pips when you least expect it. I ended up having nested longs and shorts going at the same time just to dig myself out of the hole

What made it worse was that I had an adverse position going on with GJ at the same time so I was trying to juggle two balls from hell whilst not trying not to throw the towel in and start again from scratch.

Glad I didn't though as it was a great learning...
As long as you dont get addicted to these adrenalinve rushes you'll be fine...once again been there done that got a margin calll....

I saw the way pound started it fall yesterday and was saying here that its not like previous falls there were almost no bidders there (judging by PA on 5 sec graph lol ) and I knew ( i mean i was 95% sure) that the move will not get retraced in NY and will continue today.

Now my strategy is to sell rallies as there will be more late sellers jumping on board at key levels and then buy the dips near todays low ... simples

Massive spike up in volume and very little spread on the M5 starting at 13:10 GMT. This would indicate another bear move to support.

I'll wait till 13:30 (when the M30) candle closes. Looks at the moment like we have a rejection of higher prices due to the long wick.

edit: I just looked at PA and now we're up again, so the above may be negated. Sitting on my hands again

Sold at 1.52040 with a tight 15 pips SL. Don't wanna give back the 3% earned this morning.

Looking to TP at 1.51643 & 1.50824.

Volume is higher now than at this point yesterday. Lets see as ever.

Not me, am expecting this retrace to continue to 523ish. The next few candles on M5 will confirm that.

When you open attachment window, there is a list of all accepted file types & sizes. If it is xls, it should be accepted .. if another format, try changing the file to .xls. Open Office files convert easily to xls.

any views - in case of strong rebound, will the GU or will the EU rebound the furthest?

You may be right. I may have jumped the gun again, but that spike up in volume looked significant at the time. SL extended to 25 pips to let it breathe.

We shall see. I tend to lose most of my trades in the afternoons. Very strange.

Good luck

Put up a 150ma on M5 and draw a little trendline on it and you can see where the PA may be aiming for. This was not a hard call to make, am now watching the interaction between 25 and 150 on M5 with the lower trendline to see if this retrace continues and has any steam to it.

The driver is the cross of PA on M15 and M30 with 25ma

Next target 525
