qe basically places more money in circulation..the effect is it worth less..usd index sold off..so anything against it would have made money..the ranges on cable have reduced big time..when i first entered the trade average day was giving a minimium of 160 pips sometimes 300 pips in a day..market has changed a lot

i will do some analysis b4 market open..

Hmm, I sold GBPUSD @ 1.6225 with a stop-loss @ 1.6269. Now i see about the QE3 announced on Saturday by b.bernanke on TV. I hope I can close it before my stop-loss when the weekend opens. I hope it does not open Monday with a big gap up... or im doomed on this trade.

I share your pain ...I'm also short @1.6230. I'm a spartan trader holding firm. If price break the Channel on the upside 1.6255 area then.....trend may continue upwards. Prepare for glory if price continue downwards to 1.5602 on-wards.

bulls vs bears who will win...So many signs of overbought. Lets see what happens.

oww not that much expectations, but just a tad below 1.61xx or 1.6080 are is enough for me.

In the previous week's trade preview on GBPUSD, i already mention the possibility of GBPUSD re-testing the resistance zone of 1.6300. See link below.

http://www.forexmindgames.com/2012/0...ws-part-2.html

The high for last week was set on Friday at 1.6250, about 50pips from the mentioned 1.6300 resistance zone. How was i able to call it in advance where GBPUSD is going to go? It took me about 3 years to learn this skill. I am not 100% accurate. But i am slowly improving. Trading is about understanding where price wants to go.

Let me illustrate. Imagine i have 3 children. After observing my 3 children for many years, i can make a rather excellent educated guess to how each of my 3 children will behave in certain situations. Lets say i bring to them to a zoo and the children saw a snake. Based on my past observations and my understanding of the temperament of each child, i know how each one will react to the snake. Child A got bitten by a snake before, and he will run away from one. Child B is more adventurous, he is not afraid of snakes and will stroke it. Child C is more cautious, he will hide behind my legs until he is sure the snake is friendly before touching it.

Now imagine Child A is EURUSD. Child B is GBPUSD. Child C is AUDUSD. After watching their behaviors and movements for many years, i had develop an intuitive feel for what they are going to do and where they are going to go. Train your mind to discern the movements of each currency pair you like to trade. For me, USDCAD is sort of a wild child. I have little success predicting its movements. As such, i tend to stay away from trading USDCAD.

The idea is this. Find currency pairs which you can predict the movements with reasonable ease and accuracy. And avoid those pairs where you just cannot make heads and tails of.

Cross Your fingers , and hope 4hr demand fails ..If there's a bounce and a retest of supply, then we could have the 8 hr Supply absorbed and a Target line (top of 8hr supply line )..

Well, if your weekly bar chart looks anything like my brokers F..ked up set up, I'm not surprised you changed pairs.

I would really like to know what the hell happened over the weekend to produce the extra bar and the messed up sequence
