Quoting gristar
I have a few question about your chart. I have marked it in the chart.
Hi gristar. That's simple. I don't consider the trend to be down. I concentrate myself on momentum. The 400 pip upmove, that you see on the left, that's momentum to me. I see the current downward move as a consolidation of the previous bullish move. My bullish bias is supported technically by the falling wedge on daily (i posted a chart how the wedge is goin' every day), and fundamentally by the simple fact the GBP is 'lucky strong' now, since it's not the USD and it's not the EUR.

The downward pattern looks like a bull flag (look here: http://www.trending123.com/patterns/bull_flag.html) and if it plays out as supposed, it should break to the upside and IF it does, perhaps there will be a lot of momentum. Therefore, I don't put limit orders to the upper side of the flag. I can very well enter with a short there, but I will do it only with PA confirmation.

But perhaps i'm wrong and the flag will collapse I'm wrong very often But it doesn't matter, if you limit your risk and you're ready to admit it's wrong when it is. That's all.

Better said: I don't want to see my stop smashed by the break if it happens. I will trade either way. but no sell limit orders with bull flag. But that's just me.

Daily chart of EURGBP. It looks pretty ugly at the moment. Would expect it to give some strength to cable- expect more swinging around this 1.61

So did it get filled? 75 was the daily pivot and my broker shows bounce off 60754. Good luck, I'll wait for 64.

From my chart analysis at this moment 6086 is Buyers Entry Price. Price action around that price has failed to yeild a Selling Momentum rather the result as remain in a No Price Action. As such it has acted as a support. However I will need this Hourly close to be above that price to confirm that 6086 holds and buyers still in contention. once it holds price action will attempt to break the Resistance at 1.6121. If it goes then GU goes upward to 6200. My Stop Loss will just be at 6060

you guys are pretending to be big fish, assuming market where to go support and resistance bla bla bla. Look why eager to 6200 ? it so simple. Trendline reject the resistance so why buy ? open your eyes dude.. it sell.. until 1.5960

Nobody pretends to be big fish, if you think trendlines are the A&O of trading and supply/demand areas don't matter, that's fine and up for discussion.
I do have this pair in a downtrend as clearly visible from the first chart below.

However between my buy limit and the upper M15 trendline (second chart) there are 80 pips to collect.

well... u cannot say they r wrong.. people r doing that for a reason... maybe they trigger something eg.. a strong support level at 1.607... but for me.. I dont have any reason to buy now... I just let it go, coz buying is not on my list today... only sell... if they want to go for 6200, well good luck... and you my friend.. going to 5960..?.. well that still a mystery yet.. but I hope it will go there.. coz we r on the same train here... SELL...
now.. the cable seems want to go up.. thats good... I need some break now... man.. I've already closed my selling twice since market is opening.. with a profit of 40 pips (20 pips each trade)... I think I going to need a break now.... huuuhhh.. inner..inner peace..
