Hi cloggie,

may i ask what the latest poll news are,
and at what gmt time do we have results?
What is your guess for tomorrow and friday regarding gbp pa?


The tories are leading, but the lead is not large enough for an overall majority. Polling stations are open until 10pm London time and the results come in in dribs and drabs overnight, starting right after the poll stations close, the smaller constituancies will have results within an hour or so. It is going to be a long night. Gilt market is open all night and I am hearing from quite a few London boys that some trade desks are open troughout the night.

Thanks for that.

With AUST being a commonwealth I wonder what impact the elections will have on AUD/USD. Any views? Have a long AUD @9050

No if about it, the Conservatives will win, just by how much is the question. Latest polls indicate upto 30% are undecided.
Did you win your bet with PaddyPower then... they have already paid out . I'm still of the hung variety

These candlesticks have NOT completed yet, so it might not happen. Also it is not perfect on GU, but here are the close-up of the charts -

GU - Not a perfect bullish harami, but not bad either. It also touched my ltl a couple of times!

EU - A perfect bullish harami

Remember the candles have NOT completed yet, so make sure they do if deciding to go long! Just my 2 pennies.
These candlesticks have now closed on my platform and do form the bullish harami. Short-term they might still go down, but I suspect we will be going north now. I could of course be wrong!

Could well be! It is a matter of time though! Maybe we have seen enough this week. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/10097819.stm

I am still sitting out for the moment until the next couple of 4hr candlestick for confirmation. It has to be going north, otherwise it will invalidate the bullish harami. I will check at 11pm and again at 7am UK time when the next 3 will have formed.

I use London time for mine, so mine has another 30 mins to go.

If you live in the UK you can check whether your vote has any power. In the UK, the only voters with any real power to choose the government are those who live in marginal constituencies.

I live in a ultra safe conservative area, so even if I could vote, I would have no power to change. Enjoy (for those living in the UK)

Oh the irony from that:
Meanwhile Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel called on the country's parliament to back a Greek bail-out.
"The future of the European Union and the future of Germany within the EU is at stake," she told law-makers.



Fact is that she has caused all this by dragging her feet and making waves about bailing Greece out causing the rates Greece have to pay to go up, and any other countries that may need help.

Politicians, always them causing us trying to make a few quid problems!
Back to basics, it has to be for me!

That is why I hate politicians, politics and political BS. Common sense, straight to the point and practicality would get my vote.

GU will be flat now until Asia opening times, unless NY has a little fun just before closing.
