Funny enough - God knows why - all of a sudden retail traders are switching long GBP/USD. This cries for more weakness. Short 1.5462.

. Short 1.5462.
You got more balls than me.

I am waiting for 1.5442--1.5451, and then I will pause and see what price movement happens, and then I want to go Long at that level.

Exactly what are you seeing...all I am seeing is a sideways range with a possible trigger long off daily support.

Right now, trade the range...

It really all depends on the type of trader you are.

How is MB Trading as far as trading options go? I hear they are one of the best. MB is my broker for FX but I would rather trade options with a different broker if I ever do decide to make that leap. We are talking 6--12 months time minimum before I do if I ever decide to do so.
I'm not sure about trading options under MB Trading since I only trade Forex. My brother does trade stocks, VIX, ETFs, and options under TradeStation Securities and likes them.

I tried TradeStation Securities for Forex and loved the trading platform but not $100 monthly fee. I found myself pressured to over trade just to wave to monthly fee. If you have a large funded account then wouldn't matter anyway.

Well, now that clock has turned and the day is a new...the 5m 200 and the daily piv seem to want to align, I could be keeping this current trade for a little better on the target side.

Best of luck guys, will catch you later.

I'll be watching very closely how price reacts around 5516-20(just above weekly pivot) if and when we get there......might be a promising short.

interesting Mag ...

ma # 2 closing gap down to your buy zone and trending down , so please explain why you taking longs ? always like to see what you are up to and what you are seeing.
Hope this gives a better picture of what I watch for on my 1m here Mal...

I know it's easy to spot and show these plays after they happen, but this is what I am typically looking for off the 1m and depending on the course of the day, can be a good way to effectively play both directions and grab a few extra sheckles for the weekly totals.

Daily open as support, which is as close to the bottom of the chart as the bottom of the current chart, daily pivot presenting at about 1.5495, 200EMA on the 5 dropping, will watch for exits there...

Yeah, seen a bit of a shift on the 5m, coulda closed both positions for a few more, but +2, and +3 is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
