I took part profit at 8984. AU needs a 4hr close above 8984 to be bullish.
EU is being brought, a 4hr close above 1.2659 and that will probably continue up further as well.

Should've Could've Would've held that long from 8955!
Oh well, I wont be trading AU till it calms down. Anyone looking at any other pairs right now? Where did you enter GU at Clouds. Any view on direction?

Does that broker offer fixed?

I'm sure all brokers do it, it would just be nice if they didn't. My AU spread during normal conditions is around 3 with the bigger pairs around 2 and exotics way up there.

Na, it just made me mad because my spread on AU went from 3 to about 15 in a couple of seconds and averaged 9 in the realease. It was odd, usually about 5 or so in a release.

We should start a fixed-spread FCM
Thanks for the welcome guys . To answer your question Saxon, the spread is fixed with FxSol. It was(is) 4pips during the release as well.

Hi Guys,

I don't think I've posted charts on this thread yet as I tend to post on another. But as this chart probably isn't suitable for my usual thread, I thought I'd deposit here. Also as I think you guys have a great place here and I'd like to contribute.

I’m short after a break to the downside of a 15 min IB with SL now comfortably at BE. But the picture below is what I predict might happen after news (in the bigger picture).

I like the fact that 1.49 didn’t allow a 1hr bar to close above it.
The daily pivot resisted well and price is trading below the weekly pivot.
We had a retrace back to just below a 50% fib and there was a strong 1hr bearish momentum bar. That’s the only momentum we have seen today so far.
34 and 100 MAs are heading down and even the 4hr bars are trading below them (with a nice touch of the 34 by the last 4hr bar)
All in all, I tend to think that the lower trendline of this wedge will be broken as opposed to the upper one. That would also mean a re-continuation of the downward trend.

Let's see.

Rob

PS Saxon. Notice all those "00" lines you've got me drawing!

I've closed for +115.
It could well be dropping, further but I'm more than happy with that.

GM everyone.

I am watching Loonie with interest today. The daily has been bearish for the past few days but it might be turning today. I am watching for a close above 1.0235. If I get it, then I am going long against 1.04 as my first target. Longer term, I am targetting 1.074 (which is last week's high)

Daily chart is attached. I also have eyes on the CAD/JPY which might turn into a monster soon.

I am holding a cable short from 1.4835 and a Aussie short too. Lets see how they go.

Have a good day.

I ended up not trading London, looks like I missed a few good setups. You guys had some great calls! I'm back on for the rest of NY and beyond I really needed the nap though, feel good now. Good luck on your trades, but from the looks of it, you don't need it

On H4 see how the MA's have all come together. I see this thing hitting the pink 150 ma above. Just waiting for the right setup which may be a hit of the Daily R1 at 8980.

Hi Aragorn,
Nice to have you on this thread. Your cable position is probably doing really well, where did you get in at? I too am bearish. We are coming up to "00" 1.46. If it swings up, there will be a lt of with-trend friction points that I could jump in with you.

Looks like you have a nice bollinger squeeze going on too. I will be watching 8980 as well. Also, broken TLs might have changed roles too
