Unemployment increased by 43,000 between December and February to 2.5m, according the last set of official figures released before the General Election.

The number of Britons out of work now stands at a 16-year high, while the number of people classed as economically inactive also reached record levels.
The latter category, which includes students, people looking after a sick relative
or those who have given up seeking work, soared by 110,000 in the latest quarter
to 8.16m, the worst figure since records began in 1971.

Well, I can see that everybody is happy to see cable falling but should not be surprise if it started climbing again. I will only sell this pair if this present 1 hour candle or next close below 1.5325. This is what we are agreeing on here. But if the present or next 1 hour candle close above 1.5350 I will be buying again and 1.5400 will be a nice and fast TP.

1.533x to negotiate 1st... with both m5 and h1 200ma around this point. 1.520x next target if it does break with m30 and h4 200ma around this point and m15 200ma a little lower. Let's see what happens.

The Magix thread is a good read isnt it, I'm seeing things better. Not been able to trade recently though, too much work, etc and I've learned that distractions cost money!

Missed a lot of action though

well my view on such strategies is that they work much better on daily charts, i.e if daily closes above or below certain support/resistance values.. Reason i dont believe its a good way of trading on smaller timeframes is because you need to wait for move to establish already and then you jump in half way through...e.g. you are waiting to see whether 1h candle closes below 1.5325 to short but thats already 60pips from the top and given that daily ranges have been in region of 140-160 pips you are missing big chunk of move already (except of course last few days where it wsa 200 pips per day range) .

I think much better way is to establish s/r levels and trade of them with stops below/above them , that way your RR ratio is much improved.... just my 2 cents

BY THE WAY my first long got triggered at 1.5322
