But if we get kind of a Tobin-Tax we will have a problem LOL
One extra trade a day should cover, no? So long as it is a winner!

Hi Needpips,

that is exactly what I am preaching. Most of the time I scalp, and sometimes at special occassions, like catching the very top or bottom, I let trades develop, sometimes for several hundreds of pips.

But my normal mode is: 2-4 times per day a trade for 7-15 pips and I am done for the day (0.5-1.5%). For me there is no need to sit and watch the charts the whole day.

But if we get kind of a Tobin-Tax we will have a problem LOL
Is that being floated as a near term reality?

gbp on the edge. last h closed slightly lower then the cluster. worth watching for a drop. my 5m says it will bounce first some. the spike may be a good sell.. 4h/12h closes the next h.

the st target is about 50 pips, getting there opens a bigger target at 1.4943..atm at 1.5790... about 850 pips. selling the spikes to it could be profitable. st target is 5737

Nasir.khan commented earlier before Posen comments. Very dovish comments. I wasn't expecting that talk. A lot more aggressive than the FED. One of the advantage of been a big player with their own currency and monetary policy.

I cleared longs on cable a few hours ago after the comments. It certainly look very bearish if daily break 1.574x and I may have to change my mid term outlook on the pound...

GL on those shorts, I will only join you with a daily close below.

however not excluded another test @ 3620 before we spike up..
Yeah went to 656 for now.

I am holding my long in hope for 850 but i think i should't be.

Heard of a Selling fixing interest to start in 5 mins in EU and Cable looking for that Barrier at 750 does't paint a healthy pic for longs in shortterm.
