If the BoE are going to leave interest rates as they are, which I think they will again, then it should go down back to 1.6, but who am I to say what the market is going to do because anything can happen.

You have 2 options. You put in a SL at a price which seems acceptable for any loses that you will incur if it does hit it. Above the weekly swing high of 1.6460 is not a bad place from a technical point of view. The other is to cut your losses now, re-assess the market and decide when and where is best to re-enter the market.

I was short on GBPAUD since yesterday, cashed in today and reversed the trade, so I am hoping that GBP does not get a bashing tomorrow! I will probably put it near BE if possible before the news announcement!

looks like we are on the same run..... would like to know as well.
I'm sure it will be a wild movement tomorrow, the question is which way )
however in my oppinion I would never close at this level, it is a nice avarage number to which it will get sooner or later, if your margins lets you hang in there...... I;m doing the same )) just curious if we will heal tomorrow or will take more hits wainting few weeks till recovery

Nice little pop up to the daily open.
The same might just be forming on the dragon.
Dragon target hit.
Finally, a dragon trade that didn't bite me in the end!

I can't say for certain why it would go up, other than the overall trend on the larger time frames.But I can say that for me I don't see any reason to short anything for more than a 20-pip target max for a while now.
For me, the 200ma is a good tool for finding support/res. levels.Since the pa has been above it for a while on the larger time frames, I look for longs most of the time.If it does dip below the 200ma on the smaller time frames and confirms the small downward movement I go for a 5 to 15-pip scalp. Some say 5-15 pips isn't worth it,I say otherwise.If you get 5 pips a day, thats 25 pips in a week.I was suprised to find out ALOT of traders don't see that in a month!

Mac Laptops are great!

Do you think Air will handle Virtual box and couple MT4 well?
I don't know anything about Macs, but I heard that you can run windows nowadays?

just an idea from a newbie outsider......
the "sprint"upward today.... is it just people getting ready and buying in expectation of tomorrow's news so they can all cash their shorts tomorrow?

just a simple way of looking at it ..... using guts....

macs are great for certain things. I've got a 13inch macbook pro and use it only for school.The battery last FOREVER.I also like how it feels so sturdy, with an actual glass-like screen and heavy metal-like case.Badside, it will overheat rather quickly.
I tried parallels, but it wouldn't read my "borrowed" windows 7.I tried my genuine vista and the upgraded windows 7 and it wouldn't work for me.Since it was past 30 days office depot wouldn't give me my money back. I "found" a copy of vmware somewhere and first try it took worked with an old windows xp.The hard part is finding where the folders are for your windows programs,but not too hard.
ubuntu was the easiest to install on both parallels and vmware,but since I had never used linux before I couldn't figure how to install the apple app that allows you to use other os programs.
hope this helps.

again about fundamentals.....
all the world expect BCE to increase 0,25% interest rates and BOE to leave unchanged

euro went up a lot last weeks on rumoring of increase of damn rates.
are we going to buy rumor n sell the fact?! gosh

both euro and gbp vs usd crossed up main weekly downtrend with this weekly candle.

until we are in "buy dips" mode, what about try a buy near the weekly trendline? (near 6200gbp-4277euro)
while closing below those levels would be another story!

ECB will raise interest rates while BoE are chicken and will continue to sit on their hands.

Looking at 1.456ish to sell EU and for now I am staying clear of this very undecisive cable.

on my Mt4 Account i see a Big Doji on the Daily forming, but on my other account on Avafx i see another Candle.. a Doji on the daily chart would be very bearish?

Doji is an indecision candle... sign of possible turning point.

If the candlestick has a body, then it is not a doji, but a spinning top. Still an indecision candlestick, but not as 'valued' as a doji. A doji candlestick must have the same opening and closing price!

I see a spinning top on my daily GU chart.

doji can mean either reversal or a tight pullback.
when you are not sure, stay away...

i just sold now at 63162 with a stop at 64159 because of the following:
- 85% retracement from in high march (on the 240)
- looks like a triple top on the daily
