GU might seems to have a bounce but meanwhile cable is clearly losing its upward momentum across the board.

On the other hand, this morning GBP just had the worst Manufacturing Production in the past 16 months.

As for GBP/USD, we have US FOMC in about 24 hours and GBP Bank Rate decision in less than 48 hours. Not expecting too much going on (in terms of having a solid trend or direction on 1H+ chart) in the next 48 hours.

How's it going Delta,

Long's the name of the game over here, absolutely.

Check out this beauty of a daily chart...setting up nicely, wanna see a close above 1.7132 ideally for her to form a hammer.

but I still like her pretty face even the Doji way she looks right now.

short vega but not for the sake of [email protected]% 1-M GBP Vols not worth it but strategy good enough to cash in on theta in this slow market in case it takes too long...
not delta-neutral btw, increasing gamma exposure (delta--> 1) via spot when we get acceleration upwards.

I'm a rookie trading cable, will join the conversation, I have read good stuff, after a bit of analysis lol I think traders being shorts at cable have a lot of troubles, last month was incredible

I'm a scalper, and I will try to scalp cable day in day out, I'm synchronicing with cable last days, very nice move today, to me today says there are a lot of bull power at under 1.71, next days will be very interesting

I was trading eurodolar, but look at the volatility... jajajjaa 25 pips day range, thats really minimum, and impossible to me,
what about cable volatility in this days??? I saw the pais pretty volatile, of course, in comparison with eurodolar, I would like to scalp cale intraday for 5-15 pips, in quicks moves, in less an hour, what do yo think???

good luck and happy trading

Fair enough. You work / worked on an options desk per chance?

I've spent a bit of time managing the EUR options book at a tier-2 bank.

Love options and Vol!
