Dependent on what the FED does how do you guys expect the market to react?

For example if there is a rate hike do you expect the dollar to rally and therefore would look too short the cable?

What would you think if the dollar were to sell off on a rate hike?

The market can be funny. Let's wait for it. In recent months, we have seen the market behaving contrary to fundamentals or even technicals on a number of times.

Waiting until post-Fed makes a lot of sense. Outcome is a coin flip now. Market will be here after FED so no point chasing. Davit brought up a very good point.

Long Position shows at the last arrow - updated here alternate days on progress.
Once in a while, every so often your lucky to catch a trend such as this one.
See how at S3 it bounced off and headed north again.

safe to say that not many traders anticipated GU > 4600 bullish gap was somewhat of an indication but now all bets are off. ))
Sisse figures we can hit 4800 post-Fomc. That could be an option.

Hey Don96 your kinda taking my post outa context but if your a day trader to make 30 pips a day is very doable but it definitely takes discipline, sticking to your trading plan and keeping level headed at all times
I'm no expert at this but I attempt to make at least 30 pips a session and when I see my set up I'm straight in and I find that helps heaps.
No doubt theres traders here who make a bucket load more pips than that in a session or over a couple of sessions

Thanks ASG for vouching.I've been there in my rookie years and got burned badly many times so know it on my skin.
In my view commodity pairs specially NU is most weakest.I think this one will get the hummer hardest.Might break 69 but wont go far up.

In trading, you have to be defensive and aggressive at the same time

yes thats happened a lot in the past but my tradings getting better and generally I look for retraces to S/Rs and PP to eliminate the -30 pip happening, then I place a tight stop. Instead of a stop I'll hedge the trade sometimes but you can really get yourself into a lot of trouble hedging, it can ad multiple levels of decision making into a trade.....
If you do find yourself down 30 pips and you don't want to exit the trade you just got a bit of work ahead LOL
