So many gamblers on this forum...
Isn't that the truth. Even though its always the brokers fault (sigh) there is a reason for the 100s of times that (Don't trade with money you cant afford to lose ) is mentioned several different ways when signing up for and opening an account.

anyone has a target for part of their shorts to 1.58/1.59 in a few month? I will keep part shorts to that target for up to 6 months. Rinse and repeat rest of the shorts.

As far as fundamentals are concerned, the news I'm seeing tells me USD is looking weak and GBP is looking strong.

The thing that I don't understand though. Whenever the stock market goes up, GBP tends to go up with it. Whenever USD goes down, GBP tends to go down with it. This isn't always true, but seems pretty close lately.

If the US Economy is looking weak, it seems the market will go down. Shouldn't then the dollar go down as well?

It doesn't compute in my mind that a weak economy and a weak market would mean a stronger dollar.

{quote} Both probabilities exist (Its trading of course they do) The symmetrical broadening top is a bullish continuation pattern. The pattern is formed by two symmetrical horizontal lines that are divergent. So it is a inverted symmetrical triangle or an open triangle. The oscillations between the two bands of the triangle are therefore becoming more and more sizable. Each line must be touched at least twice for validation. The symmetrical broadening top shows the growing nervousness of investors but also their indecisiveness. If the pattern is...
Depending on which version of the symmetrical broadening top you bought into..

I see two possibilities here.

One, we have a new support level (The red daily candle is only a 2 hour candle, I think, right?) at around the 675X area, or we close down today below that 1.6750 area and that's a very strong reversal pattern.

If the 1.6750 becomes support, might be a good idea for a bull to wait a couple of days for a correction to bounce off new support and then buy the dip.

{quote} For now, not looking for anything more than 1.675x which is a bit of a reach. Maybe have to settle for less. So similar to what you're saying. Reevaluate if we do get back down there to see what's next. Yes I know this doesn't put any of the remaining 1.6650 and 1.6700 shorts into the money but keep dreaming or take advantage of a dip to stop out like a man and live to fight another day instead of getting tortured on any possible further oscillation above your entry point Been there, done that before... it is not a good use of your margin...
I was putting my TP on 1.67600 actually as I expect this pullback will take us somewhere around 1.67530. Probably it will be longer than usual for this 70 pips pullback IF it want to make it nice on both 1H and 4H chart. Pretty hard for me to add more if it can't create a nice pullback candle pattern on 4H, but I still believe Cable will be rallied for 9 days consecutive. It is reasonable that this pullback will take 12 hours to reach on target. Just my view currently.

Apply a 3 day rule after new high's before trading a security again... Especially after a surprise news event.

Has there been a surprise news event, or are you just speaking in general terms?

What just happened? Was there a major news release or something? Frankfurt came online and they demolished the pound like it was 1942.
