Nightmare PA today. I went short this morning at 1.6113 and I'm currently up 6 pips after watching EU have a nice ride down. Sick as a parrot. LOL That's 10 hours screen watching for zip.

I saw the big fall in EURGBP was keeping GU propped up but figured if I waited for EURGBP to find support then GU would finally have it's turn to fall. Looks like I was wrong.
imho, you have to take extra measures when shorting cable.. i too expect it to go to 6040 (my PO), but seems like the momentum wouldn't allow it..

What do you mean by extra measures A-speculator? Are you holding or giving up on this fall? I'm targeting 1.6063 and 1.6025 BTW.

for me, shorting atm is counter the mid-term trend, so you have to make sure your position is well secured.. i expect it to retest the breakout resistance turned support at 6040 but it seems like hard to get there, still has a lot of bulls left in the trend.

I'd hate to be a candle trader on a day like this. Build a pin, take the stops, build a pin, take the stops.......

she needs some breathing space mate, it is the time to stay away from her imho, and perhaps better to find good setup elsewhere..

Yes, probably. My trouble is I've spent 10 hours waiting for this to fall and I know that if I close out now it will fall immediately afterwards! On the other hand I don't want to go into the red on this one so I might just move b/e and leave.

Very frustrating day indeed.

Yeah. Doesn't seem to get past 1.608x. I'm still waiting for "the zone" (1.6140 - 1.6175) and a daily close this week below 1.6. Doesn't look like happening though.

the real question that we should ask ourself is, once broken the 6175 level, will it shoot up to the 63xx level or will it find enough resistance to come back down?
In other words, take profits at 6175 or let it run

i guess we'll find out soon, it cannot stay in a 40pips range forever

Edit:
I forgot to mention, "IF" it go to the famous 6175 level, always say IF :nerd:

I think it's better to take cash and run. You can always re-enter if breaks 6175 on a re-test.

seems like the kiwi is already on the stairway to heaven.. lol. perhaps others will follow suit.. in time.

hopefully can get cable to retrace back down to at least 6060 before moving upwards.
