The GU really is as mad as a cut snake.

does the US index affect euro only or does it affect cable as well?
Im asking because DXY chart shows an inverse head and shoulders which if it breaks the neckline would mean euro and cable bearish right? or wrong?

eurusd ....

the us dollar index itself doesnt affect the euro index at all.

sorry my mistake, what i meant to say is, if the DXY is bullish and breaks past the neckline, then potentially euro and cable would be bearish, however in the past iv been caught out by assuming that euro and cable follow each other in tandem.

I can see on my chart that cable has support around 1.5950, and was thinking of placing a buy order there, however i am reconsidering on the basis that it could break past it and go to 1.57 or lower...

point is im looking for a reversal before a reversal has actually happened, which is stupid, as its bottom picking...

Many of the traders here have really got balls (mixed with good analysis) and bottom/top pick regularly, so don't feel bad about it. I myself only trade with the trend as I hate draw down and prefer swing trading so I can step away from my screen for extended periods.

Well,
You do not fuck around with that big H4 Bullish Butterfly, do you?

Personally, I would wait for a confirmed close above the 4 hour trendline before going long if you are not sure of your support zone. For me this has about an 80-90% success rate.

mmm , cable has three closes above the pivot line of day in H1.
I think it's not so strange to take a long position for 50 pips

Hi, new to FF but only trade cable and use this as place to pick up peoples thoughts and then combine them with my own trading plan.

It looks like today the big dogs are on maneuvers so if you play with them are some big green pips on offer - if you fight them you'll get gobbled up.

G/M

61.8% 6303-6057 and Weekly Pivot are at yesterday's high, the pullback finding supportat the previous 1hr swing hi zone (previous resistance) and the 50% of the said 6057 - 6208 (yesterday's hi) move.

Aboive current prioce unbreeched fibs of the moves down to that 6057 lo (monday and current weekly lo) from 6746,6573,6517 and said 6303. That 4hr descending trend line getting ever closer as it is descending and would come through around 6218-6225 on this current 4hr candle.

Below current price that swing lo now at the previous resistance mentioned above (and 50% fib) etc..

Near-term 1hr current screenshot below.

if on this current or just on the next 4hr candle, price - if it goes that high would intersect the 4hr descending trend line around the 23.6% fib of the 6746-6057 move.

area of 6340-53 contains Daily R1 , 76.4% 6303-6057 and 38.2% 6573-60957 although not sure how valid that 6573 is as a swing hi on 4hr ? main ones seem to be 6746, 6517 and 6303 ?
