Majority here are telling that they are long, so why trade explorer shows that majority is short
I've just read back last 4 pages of thread covering 18hrs or so and I don't see that most have expressed that they are long ? Yeh in trade explorer most are short sure although the proportion short has dropped in last 24hr hours...and yeh most of the more ' prominent ' posters here seem to be ' longer term ' bears (Navin, Bones, Davit etc...) but I think it is a question of time frame - some will say they are long or short but don't assume they are ' long term ' bulls / bears or even hold that view from their analysis even if they are not in a position- they may be on low t/f's and smallish targets etc...
For me, right now re t/f's:
monthly - rangy with recent bullishness
weekly uptrend
daily rangy with recent bullishness
4hr bullish
1hr bullish
Best Wishes
it's all gone a bit........

i dont see cable going anywhere.. on the higher tfs seems were heading north but we have some massive resistences over us.. that we are not able to break yet.. 6170-6240 are level to watch... but we might as well range till the end of the year... {image} {image}
thats a possibility..more people need to think long..i think this week willbe quite telling..

dude euro is not really falling in this moment... its slowly going up 1 pip by time... my bias is still short, but ill shot my guns once i have some confirmation. Already tried to anticipate a little bit the signal but had to close the short with a bunch of pips

What I'm saying is that many posters here are just telling that they longed or shorted but actually didn't do that. At least those people you named, have posted they trades and I believe them.

We never actually know whether posters here have actually traded their views or even the trades they say they have placed. I think the general guidance here and in any other open forum is probably:
1. The most prominent / frequent posters don't always offer the best analysis, and vice versa
2. Those positing views (bullish or bearish) may not express whether it is a short, medium or long term view and what they mean by those terms anyway...(ie someone's short term is someone else's long term )
3. Those posting views, analysis or trades may not actually be acting on those views, analyses or trades in an actual trading a/c
4 Very often those that get married to a position despite the available evidence, and when it is not going in their favour seem to become more vociferous in trying to persuade others that their analysis/viewpoint is right.
In the end we all form our own opinion of which posters talk any sense or not over time spent here.
Best Wishes.

{quote} Feel the same, and am watching Cable tapping away at that ascending magenta TL. We're more than half way through the month, and the monthly candle so far looks to me to want to go up. Dollar squatting a little on the daily, the weekly a nice previous pin, the monthly, well, it had to look the opposite, didn't it! Stuff it - I'm calling 1.64/kiss of the 61.8 FE for week close. {image} {image} {image} {image} {image} {image}
