Well, looking at todays picture it does look likely for GBPUSD to retest the high and take out all the stops above 1.6600 That's the normal course of events as many people have their stops just above this level. So I would say beware! However todays trading is difficult because I believe most banks are closed for the holiday. Much better to wait until tomorrow I think

GBPJPY is going sideways at the moment in a tight range between 135.00 and 136.00 could be a good idea to have pending trade planned for eventual break out from these levels one way or the other!

I'm gonna look for a long here... SL @ 1.6460 area

Regards
Good day to you,

Stop @ BE. A visit to 1.6550 and possibly 1.6600 is highly likely over the next day or so. Not sure if from this level, or from a bit lower down.

Will leave it for now -

morning and happy easter for the ones celebrating it

for the rest happy holidays.

bear or no bear yet I still see a top of 1.67 for GU and massive drop of 600 pips first and 300 more afterwards summing a total of 900 pips as first drop.later ....we will see if we can score another 300 pips down.

1.67-1200 pips means 1.55 I have some old trades with that TP.

GJ will drop 900 pips if we brake the 133.3 level .now we are at 135.level ...............................

hello i notice you talkin bout oil

Good day to you,

Tough one. Your money. You have to decide.

I quick calculation tells me you have 350 pips till wipeout. Trend is still up... But I do see some relief coming. However, I expect another move higher than the current level - possibly to 1.6600 or 1.6650

So either close here and wait, or ride it out for another week or so to see if you can get closer to your entry. It's probably gonna get worse before it gets better.

Do NOT add to this position. Do not hope. The reality is - there is theoretically no ceiling. It's absolutely your call. It's a 50/50.

Hi there

well,i don't trade oil but your chart only confirms some of my suppositions.
if the chart will play as it is it means this is really the beginning of the end of the oil power.

I would not use the car or the bike anymore for such a high price.I refuse to use it even now .at least for me the price nearly doubled in the past 3 years meaning all the goods prices went up but the salaries remained the same or even decreased due to the crisis

useless to say that in some countries the pump price represents the real price + up to 70% taxes and the station's cut

so we either cut the oil use or accept to pay the price for our living or the easiest way is to fight with the oil producer countries and take it all in the name of ''democracy'' and helping the poor oppressed people

I just wonder if the nordic countries will be attacked at one point for the oil

.....

uhm
on oil i think as follow:
makes wars;
is needed by all the world;
is a good which one day will end, not unlimited;
until we have motorbikes, cars, trucks, ships, airplanes, space shuttles, and all the damn things which only works with oil..... oil price will rise n print new highs.

one day people will wake up n will not buy anymore the shity oil.
until that far day, oil prcie will rise, and stupid people will make wars to get it.

once we won't need oil, we will need water.....
coz people need to fight for something.

talkin about the chart, look how worked out 111.80 resistance in the previous peak... price came fast in 98's. now only got the 106's (...)

Good day to you,

Sorry for the late reply - was away for a couple of days with the family. It is good that you did not follow the last attempt

I am entering a busy period work wise - so I will not be scalping. I plan on doing 2 to 3 trades per month for the remainder of the year. So will not be analyzing often. I will however post every trade I take on GU here. Other pairs I will post in a new journal for myself I plan to start. There we could discuss some stuff if you feel inclined.

As far as GU is concerned, I have posted my...
I like the sound of that as I too am trying to get into placing longer term trades. I trade with Dominic Nardone over at Trading Knowledge who is simply brilliant in his live trading room but he is mainly an intra day trader and can make 200+ pips weekly, but thing is I would love to ride the GBP/USD all the way up to 173 for 1000 pips! Just for the hell of it!!!

Good evening

I think prices will move down until Tuesday night was the peak. Possible tonight I'll find Taucrossfinal on H4 as the conformation of the downtrend. Sorry I just wanted to express opinion based on my observation that prices will continue down this evening if you agree? Without a major catastrophe today's prices will not be reached 1.6600 probably return it for Wednesday and beyond.

Best Regard

hi again

can't just stay on my bum today when all the world is only talking about the royal wedding

at least here I can find some serenity
so here it goes


if EU will brake 1.4402 level in the next 48 hours starting 2 hours from now on then we will see 1.4310 and second TP 1.4225.

if EU will drop those 400 pips GU will probably follow with 200-300 pips

wait.now I see another thing on GU as well ) I thought there is no clue there but I can see the same thing on H4 but if GU brakes the 1.6380 level in the next 56 hours starting in 2 hours from now on.

if it brakes that level we go down to 1.6285 first and then to 1.6195 as second TP

I wonder if it will play out

my EU shorts are still in place since last week I just might change the TP looooowwweeerr than the initial one (I'm a greeedy bastard)

what do you think guys?

shall we give it a chance to this fall or not ?

just keep an eye on those levels and as soon as a 4H candle closes under the above levels in my opinion it's a sell sign with the TP mentioned

the similarity on those 2 pairs is first TP for both of them is ~ 95 pips and second TP is ~190 pips

Interesting thought but what makes you think that it will drop to 1.4402?

Good day to you,

I have thought long and hard about this - scalping is in my blood, but screentime is a luxury for me at present. Today is a public holiday here - so no problem. I spent a few hours last night re-looking my setups, as I had made one or 2 bad trades in the last couple of days...

I have created 2 different setups - one that will allow me to trade off 15min charts - for 50 to 100 pips a shot - on average offering 3 or 5 high probability trades per pair per month. I could however scalp off this setup too - for 10 to 20 - if time permits. Then I have created a setup to trade off 1hr charts - for 200 to 400 pips a shot - offering on average 1 to 2 setups per month per pair.

Once or twice per annum - I'll get the 500 to 700 pips runner.

My challenge now - is to change my mentality to one of utter patience - but I am willing to do this, as this way of trading will ultimately give me the freedom to live a life. I have just last night set myself a goal. 18 months to become totally free. It's hard, but not difficult. I'm gonna eat this elephant bit by bit.

So - yes. I'll be patient. I'll wait. I'll see the perfect setup coming a day or 2 in advance and i'll be ready. Longer term trading does seem less stressful. Time will tell.

As far as GU goes - i'll be watching 1.6550 to 1.6600 with great interest. That area will tell the story.

All success to you

Regards

Piphead I do agree... Any ideas on my second query. With a spot rate like 1.67 and companies like xe.com giving 1.64 there must be a better solution. I know of better brokers who will give 1.67 at a spot rate of 1.68 on 100k + gbp, but was hoping for a better solution. Has anyone encountered this situation
Hi Jay,
I don't know about a transaction like this as I have only ever traded on a spread betting account
