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
Yeah, was looking at that this morning. Am staying out now for a little while, not liking today too much.

Yes, me too. Best to step away when you're not liking it.

Thanks Trotty. Aussie still not turning yet though- so your stop was well placed. I'm not sure how much life there is left in the bulls here on Euro, but if my longs get stopped it's still a net gain of 11pips. I still think we could be at a reversal point and that's why I've tightened my stop.

Indeed, choppy stuff again. Looking at H1 on EU, that line at yesterday's was also a strong ppa area, should have looked to short there if I wasn't wrapped up in work.

Also i wanted to short 264 earlier but price never quite got there, bit gutted about that, am doing lots of psychological practice at the moment and managed not to chase it

Nice trading people....

Closed all my longs, got a small line in the water going south.

That whip today is money being moved around.

HOLLA

Nice, after the daily closes on euro and cable, I'm keeping an open mind today, but I think eurusd more bearish than cable now. Also we're at strong support for aussie, so have put on a small long here
