Short GBP/USD at 1.2510, 25 pip stop.
Out at the same price (1.2510), I am still receiving mixed signals.

I know, but I cannot trade London, I live in New York City.
London's session starts at 3AM for me, I cannot stay up that late, especially at my age...

That sucks, used to have the same problem when I lived stateside. What about the yen, you do any business in there?

Oh yes, I love the Yen, the AUD and the NZD (and all their crosses of course), sometimes they deliver spectacular trends.
Like I said earlier, I watch 28 currency pairs daily, not just the cable.

I used to trade the e-mini S&P 500 and the DAX in the Futures market.

However, these financial instruments are mean-reverting, meaning they don't respond well to trend following techniques.

The bonds trend very well on the other hand, but as a day trader I don't like their small daily range.

Crude oil is a no no for me, one day I got caught in a nasty limit move and I lost a bundle!

This is probably the longest ascending channel I have ever seen, as far as the cable is concerned.

Seriously, how far would it go?

Not quite yet I am afraid, the cable is probably going to test 1.2520 for the last time before dropping like a stone (hopefully).

This is just my opinion folks, don't try this at home like they say on TV
