    Patience is virtue. The sooner we learn this all, sooner we can start walking to the bank. Good Luck to all of us—
    The trick is to wait the price meet ur limits, instead of one jumping in.. however scalps is a totally different scenario and is not everyone's cup of tea

    Target 1.5865. BUT watch for retrace to 1.6035 first.....
    Never rush a trade. Make haste slowly.

    GBP/USD

    Price is very oversold - this is by itself not a reason to buy - but I suspect that others might and that we will retrace a bit of yesterday's decline. The 1.6050 zone is right now the optimal sell zone as long as we trade under the 1.6150 high. I hope that the strong sell-off the last few day's proves that this is a worthwhile strategy to use.

    I think it will be very hard to trade lower than 1.5850 today which makes this a good level to book profits on short positions.

    As we just had a breakout to the downside I placed an entry order to sell at 1.5930 with a stop at 1.5990. 1.5850 will be my limit.

    GU 5790 is the actual initial and 1st tgt more to follow

    GU has been nice to me I shorted 5976 and down lower and covered all but loner at 5888 touch. took scalps long and done on them for 8 and 13 pips..
    GU 4 hrs and 5790 seems to be the 1st actual tgt b4 we head lower to it as well..
    currently we at a decent supp but suspecting a break eventually today .. 5936-42 is max i see on rallies and selling on strength is the theme song here..

    I am short GBP/USD and have lowered the stop loss so its sits just above the most current high. I had already a short position at 1.5321 but I closed that one on the dip as they entry was not good.

    This is the same setup I presented in today's edition of Bulls vs. Bears.

    Pip and Run 3 Trades, 3 Wins for +18.7 Pips

    The pound dropped like a rock after the Bank of England Inflation Report stated that inflation would hover around 2% for the next 2 years. Interest rate expectations are the chief drivers of Forex rates and the prospects of a rate hike from the Bank of England vaporized.

    The pound dropped over 80 pips in 5-minutes from a high of 1.5972 to a London session low of 1.5888.

    I went long 1000k at 1.5895, catching the proverbial falling knife, to grab 6.8 pips in 5 minutes. I jumped back in again at 1.5909 as price broke above the S2 Daily Pivot to grab 10 more pips. This trade took a little bit longer at 10 minutes for 10 pips. So I am doing about a pip a minute.

    I quickly noticed a similar rebound in the AUD/USD when UK- Nimmy asked for my 5-minute Elliott wave count. When Nimmy asks me for a count, I know there is a trade on her/his mind.

    I got long at 0.9905 and limited out 10 minutes later at 0.9915.

    I did some scalping in gold but my one-click settings were too tight for the the wider spread on Gold and I was stopped out as soon as I placed a trade. After making the adjustments, I scored 107 so I had mixed results and ended up -2.1 pips

    Watch Forex Scalping Strategies: Pip and Run with Greg McLeod episodes on Blip

    It was good to see Carol, Joyce, Franosh, Dan, Glenn, Maurizio and the rest of the Pip and Run nation!

    Over all we had a great session filled with analysis of various pairs, answered questions, as well as +18.7 pips!

    Join me tomorrow at 5:30 ET for Pip and Run !

    Happy Pipping!
