I'm short biased and here's a chart:

This is a classic retest of the most important s/r level that cable has. If this week closes above 1.5 then all bets are off.
but mike, taking a short on tuesday when the W1 has a few days more to go surely is dangerous don't you think? after all, price can still overshoot all the way to 5500 before closing low, just like before ....

I totally agree, that's why i put the caveat in my post that there are both short and long trade setups within the move, however I was commenting and posting in relation to several posts calling for 1000 pip drop here.
Yes I agree....making such a claim without any supporting analysis/charts is just noise in my opnion.

I just needed to make the point though because I once was one of those newbies who followed blindly before I understood that we must not follow others if we wish to survive in fx

That still does not support a 1000 pip move down, your bottom TL, that you did not put on the chart would need a close below before you have any chance. If that goes we should see a retest of 49647, still not a reversal of the trend though.
I didn't say it would move 1,000 pips (sorry I haven't been following the thread) I said I was short biased. If I were holding longs I probably would be thinking about closing them this week at this level and guess what? It's the end of the month. Anybody knows a long closed is a sell. I would be looking to sell above 1.5. That's a good price.

Next decent support is at 1.4750 then 1.43 ?

And that's what Wormy and I have been going on about, show us why you think the trend has reversed. And that is a discussion that is core to the problem here. Posters make ridiculous claims but can't back it up with a chart.

That riles me, so does the famous BE trade and the calls 24 hours after the fact. But let's not go there.

I have no clue what any of those indy's do, but you have a decent TL on that chart that was tested 5 times, what makes you think that a retrace is on now without a break/close below. Look at the last 5 tests of that TL, your MCD/Osama thingies showed you the same as they do now and the reversal never happened.

By all means trade the shorts down to the TL, just don't anticipate a full blown reversal here.

Now that is a simple and sensible chart, play the supports. Find your range and play the breakout, irrelevant to where it goes. No bias whatsoever until it happens, that's what trading is about.

Wow this thread moves too fast for me I think I'll put you all on ignore.

I might short this pair next week.

Don't hold your breath, though.

It might go to 1.6 today the way you lot are behaving. LOL

what is this probability based on please? any charting for explanation would be helpful.

It might be easier to test 5300 than to 4300 from here after the D1 ltl bounce we just saw. Not saying that it won't tank, just saying from a "probability" point of view .... and a chart:

Agreed. I rarely post my trade calls for that reason. I could change my mind and forget to post it.

Update...

1.5000 must hold for continued up move, otherwise a retrace back to 1.4950 area for a dip buy.
