The 1.588 level seems like a crucial point, needs to reverse here to keep downtrend intact IMO... Lets see how it plays out

The 382 Fib is right above here..
keepin downtrend intact? which downtrend? : p
Hero calls followed by margin calls...

The fundamental Case for GBP weakness is pretty good IMO. The Bank of England has a difficult choice before them. High inflation calls for higher rates, but with their economy slowing and about to get a boot to the face with the Austerity measures and public layoffs, they really cant raise rates (especially considering that most Brits are on floating rate mortgages). If i were in their shoes I would just endure a bit of inflation, lesser of two evils.

Good day to you,

Took some leave after my early short call on GU. Common knowledge. It is forming now, as we speak - but I must have lured a few members into following my comments - costing them. For this, I am truly sorry.

BUT - spending some time analizing my mental state, and analyzing the charts, the following:

* you have more than enough time to position yourself. Especially on the 15min and higher charts. PA wants you to enter ASAP - because you do not want to miss the move. Let me tell you - I have watched 10V traders on EU thread today, entering extremes. The market is designed to do this to us. Wait for the right time. CRUCIAL.

* How often do you find yourself entering a position to be stopped out - and then price goes your way? PLENTY. Same scenario as above... Wait patiently for the entry... this bugger is designed to mess with you. Know it.Embrace it. Trade it.

*Go study price bars - know what the average bar contains on the timeframe you trade. Extremes will often offer a lovely counter trade,

* Do not drink and trade - it messes you up.

This is me - out

Regards

Ive been trading currency for about 3 years now, yet I do not feel I have the knowledge to start offering my opinion. I was up 27% for the month, and yet here I find myself in a very difficult trade...

Why? because i broke my own rules that have served me well... I didnt place a stop loss. to many times I found that my SL was triggered with the price changing direction shortly after.

As I write this I see another PA up and I expect further UP action. Ive survived because Ive shaved my trade to avoid getting a margin call. I could have closed it all for about a 40% loss, but instead ill be looking at a 10% loss, an acceptable loss considering my moronic choice to not put a SL in the first place.

I learn most from my mistakes, but I choose not to have other people learn from the same mistakes. Mistakes cost money.

My single biggest flaw.. greed. Im getting better at it, waiting patiently for all the pieces to fall together, unfortunately for me I only waited for some of the pieces this trade. Sometimes though, all the pieces are there and it still goes the wrong way.

Are you shorting on anything besides the 50 fibo? When I first started trading I tried using the fibo, but found it to be unreliable, so much in fact I dont even put it on my charts.

Nah - probably wouldn't have gone in if I didn't see some decent resistance

Hello-

This is normally not a good time to trade but this retracement is an excellent place to enter a short to hold until London fix tomorrow....
I added it to my chart and I see that in the first week of Jan it was all over it, over it, under it... no clear direction. This dip under is like the dips under 2 weeks ago it would seem to me.

I suppose for the record I should state my goal of 16100. The break of 16000 imho is strongly indicative of bullish momentum.

LOL. It is a close over/under which filters one of those spikes. Second, it broke above below TWO times.

If you can't use it than don't. My God, this is the response I get for sharing a true gem.

It is no wonder that alot of the real pros that have earned their stripes refuse to post anymore or truly use FF for entertainment value only.

Good day to you,

Welcome!

Thank you for posting. You will not believe this, but most of the traders here, or in any other thread - remain inconsistent.

They are just too smart. Thowing the worst at you. If there is one thing you must learn, is to be patient. All you need is 20 pips per day. GU moves 130 to 180 pips per day. You just need to capture 20. Take your time...

It is there for the taking. Trust me.

Please keep on sharing
