Are you talking about the 15min chart, and this trendline that we've just tested? Yes on 15min looks fine, and the 4hr is looking to close more in my favour now- I meant I was worried that we might get a 4hr close back in the channel

Sorry yes, I meant that your trade is looking ok as she found resistance at that trendline, the one you've thrown up on your chart there

I sometimes post very quickly between work so I may not always make a lot of sense. I am trying to engineer a few days a month where I can trade FT and then grow it from there as I find trading, posting and working pretty hard but I do want to keep this thread going.

By the way, you don't use Oanda do you?

In other news, S club 7 have reformed. This is a great day
Obviously their solo careers didn't make it then...

No worries about the post- I do the same sometimes things come out the wrong way too. No I don't use Oanda- I'm with LMAX who are great for dealing, but their charts are shit, so I use Alpari's mt4 for charts (they're shit for dealing!)

Ha! I do near enough the same, chart with MT4 but open positions with Oanda. Just their web platform has crashed and I can't get it back....

closed out my cable trade for +2pips, big deal. Didn't like the way that last candle was closing

Choppy price action like this tests the nerves a little too much for my liking.

Yes, pa on cable has been hard to read today. It looks like I closed too soon again-doh! At least, that trendline has been well respected.

Thanks, Trotty. Here's a chart for the continuity of the thread- if I hadn't been such a chicken I would be taking most off here at the 1hr 62ema (orange dashed line) as the budget is in 35 minutes.

Hard luck, Trotty. Tough day. I think that we may be seeing a daily reversal happening. Check out eurusd daily chart right now- I know the candle has yet to close, but it ties in with my thoughts on a h and s on cable forming
