wow..yep
theres only so much emotion can incase
good lesson learned from Azim is to watch USDX strength into Thursdays and Fridays and generally be mindful of it's movements, it's too bad sometimes I forget about it - the failure to assemble all the bits and pieces of the puzzle is costly though, damn.

yeah, the SL was too tight which is kinda unfortunate, since it did a pullback right after. oh well, move on to the next one.

bloody USD.. its rising
gold is as well
might be keeping cable up??

crazy dynamics

It is soo tempting to jump in the market. But I know I gotta wait for a clear setup...

Careful guys, this is the 'shooting range' zone

yeah USDX is like chinese sun tzu warfare it kinda digs the tunnel below the surface and then suddenly emerges behind you.

hey bro, i made a big mistake yesterday i sold 0.2 lots GBP/USD at 1.6470 and did not set a stop and it broke the 1.6470 resistence. It seems 1.6470 becomes a solid support now. Should i close 0.1 lot of my short order to reduce the risk? Please give some of your advices if you dont mind. Thank you.

up n down n up n down

n up

then again down.......
im still in favour of longs.

i have 3reds on my statement today. and all were shorts...
No point in closing them just because they are red.

One of my shorts is red but the other is green. I will end up with 2 green shorts because I know the cable has a lot more down side. Look at the bigger picture, and not the 5m chart.

problem is rules of trading are changing..the dailly on USD previous day broke the high had no follow through..then broke the low and today without news..it back up trying to break the high of the previous



i dont know about u..but u cant forecast this shit

which is why im not gonna assume it will, break to the topside unless it actually does..its just nuts how its back up there!!

This is my opinion and you dont have to follow it.

If your account can survive a possible drawdown when price goes up to 1.6700, keep the trade.

If not, i would not try to save that trade.

But, it depends on your strategy. I cant really say much.

Again, please dont listen to me. Make your own evaluation of the market and see how you can play it out.

Thanks, i closed 0.1 lot. The price might break 6470 and keep going down but i think i'd better reduce the risk

What? 1.46 ??? or do you mean 1.64.
By the way, i just closed my second short, too. the first one lost 20 dollars and the second lost 10 dollars. Now i realized the importance to set up a tight stop if you want to trade before some significant support/resistence

Cable pretty much moving as expected. It has currently eun into its rising trendline, which so far has led to a rally. Will it happen this time? Looks to me like distribution by the bigger hands, and that they are selling into the rallies and not allowing those long at the higher level to escape with a BE. No real setup for me, as I am still only interested in selling. Not expecting to enter anything till US news is out.

90% of traders use TA, indicators and prediction
