The previous 2 candles on the 15 min chart were approx 20 pips each. To me this suggests further downward momentum.

Just my thoughts - could be wrong. It's struggling to meet higher prices.

I'm only looking candle patterns and price.

I want to go short again....lol

Reluctant to burn fingers though as I'm still learning !!
Patience is a virtue, especially in Forex trading! Set your price entry through your chart analysis and if it doesn't reach entry, don't jump in.

Yes, this does mean sometimes I miss trades and nearly missed the trade on GU as initially it was 3 pips short of my chosen entry before dropping, but it came back later in the day and filled my order, just like I planned it.

There are other times I will have missed it and off it goes in the direction I thought it would. However, I am not going to beat myself up because I missed a great trade by 2 or 3 pips and off it went to make 200 pips. There are always plenty of opportunities that will present itself to us traders every day. Move on, don't reflect on "what ifs" and "buts" because it is history. The opportunity has gone and if I were to jump in it would NOT meet my strict rules for entry that I have set in my Trading Plan and therefore I would not be following my plan if I were to jump in!

Time for some lunch and a bit of shopping. See you all later!

Horses for courses.

I am a gridtrader, only take losses when absolutely necessary. Not afraid to take them though: closed two losing audusd trades today to provide you with liquidity, lol!

There is a place for hedging, nothing is black and white here.

Het allerbeste voor je valutahandel!

well boys, I might be superstitious or stupid but I don't feel comfortable with this move and won't be jumping on the train with you boys... I really wish I had gotten on just after LO but wasn't here!

Not gonna get good RR from this point down... Will see if I can catch something this evening after London Close...
of course not a good RR if you open a fresh short position here...a different story if you were short higher up...
however I would equally caution going long here.

USDX is only 11.9% GBP...

something to think about!

......Nevertheless it seems to have a direct inverse correlation; try super-imposing a dx chart to a cable chart of the same tf.

Gold going up in dour economic times when the currency printing presses are working overtime means flight to safety. Gold is not going mad at all, it is just working its way up again to reach the all-time high.

It has been on a steady incline since the end of July and nearing the all-time high at 1265. I would not like to go long on this when it is near its all-time high, but considering the current economic conditions, I would not be surprised if it broke through the highs.

I have 1247.40 on my chart and a drop from where we are at now is possible.

Next supply zone is 1265.10-1261.10 (Drilled down to h1) and a drop from there is possible.

It is also possible that the continual buying of gold will send it to new heights.

Anything is possible!
