Good because it keeps getting worse.

No pretty pictures, no explanation just levels for now. Still need more information.

{quote} Yes, atm they are moving in tandem so GU going nowhere. GJ, UJ and U/CHF are dropping some. One of them will give sooner or later. My target for GU remains 6930/00 and more. I was just thinking a small retrace today. Maybe not.
As I said I do not wish to carry open positions overnight, I am a day trader, today is Friday too.

Happy with 25 pips.
Intraday only.

They only influence each other on intra-day basis, not long term. When euro was 1.3990, cable was 1.6980. Why are your levels more valid than mine? If you want to keep shorting, I won't tell you not to and I won't question it. I want to go long, thats all.

Looks like 1.70 might come for a quick short scalp.
Everyone can see the chart, but only a few can actually read it.

GU may be ready to break out for a run long here. But don't like trading at this time on Friday and EU is showing weakness. Have a current long position executed at 69815. Moving stop to lock profit.

All my EU shorts have been closed

all it happens (falling during 7 days) because of waiting BOE will grow up rates and Cameron makes some sanctions to russian guys like anramovich e.t.c. Sure they will take they big money from eglish accounts and economy. So traders prefer to sell cable.

{quote} As long as it's working for ya. The only thing I questioned to myself was the SL. Being the next decent SR is 6997 (now a small sub level at 6992), I thought that a bit tight. I thought man, if it goes his way it "might" just grab that stop beforehand. I really hate it when that happens....LOL Anyway, whatever the noise is, it's sure to cause some small spiking I'd imagine.
A little surprised that new sub level at 6992 held actually.

I wish this thing would just get going one way or the other. I really don't want to hold this trade all weekend.

Hey Nate: I almost never hold over the weekend or over night.

Price has been pretty tough to call the last several weeks. Normal for this time of the year. Most of my trades have been glorified scalps. You mentioned you woke up last night to place a trade then have trouble going back to sleep. Then felt like shit when you arrived at work.

I frequently had the same experience, but made a commitment to never hold positions overnight or the weekend. You miss trades, for me I generally miss the European market open trade that is frequently a winner. But there is usually a trade opportunity after US red news clears. Took it today on the EU yesterday on the AU. I generally only trade the EU and GU.

I have gravitated to becoming an intraday trader to avoid sleep issues. No matter what, if I have a trade open at night, it stays in the back of my head and it affects my sleep.

This game ain't worth ruining your health. I use to stare at screens and hold trades overnight. no more. Took 4 years to figure that out. I guess I am a slow learner.

Have a nice weekend.

Cable can do crazy things when volume is down on friday...it might surprise everyone during the last few hours.

This 5M could spell it out here. I see plenty of supply above and little demand below so the little retrace I was seeing this morning may have just happened already.

GU long went break even. Did score a few pips on the EU though.

I am out, done for the week. 6 wins, 1 loss, 3 break even trades. Not bad for being on vacation for Monday and Tuesday.

Cheers

It looks just test of resistance and slapped down. Does not mean it will again make a try.

If the second try fails, then may be 6920 but unlikely as we have seen Mondays are retracement days and not trending days.
Intraday only.

A little Bonus.

My autotrader took this one. Will move to BE and close automatically 2 hours before market close.
