    Pip and Run Trading Room Results: 5 Wins out of 5 Trades for +28 Pips

    Pip and Run Trading Room Results: 5 Wins out of 5 Trades for +28 Pips

    I got long USD/CAD as it bounced from daily R1 and snatched a quick 3 pips, but price continued higher. Terry was looking at GBP/NZD as it bounced from the central Pivot, I was up as much as 10 pips but the pair moves very fast so I only got 1.7 going long. I quickly flipped and got short and picked up 6.6 on GBP/NZD. I shorted and reshorted the Euro for 7.2 and 5.8 pips in 12 minutes. Then I hit GBP/USD short for 7.6 pips. Finally I reloaded for a short on USD/CAD and grabbed a quick 4.3 pips.

    A nice way to start weekend plus another 237 pips on a mixture of longer and shorter term trades!

    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

    Looks like ta "Risk off Day", so look to possibly short risk currencies on bounces higher or breaks lower or look to buy dollar pairs on pullbacks or breakouts to new highs.

    Can anyone tell me - when I have placed a trade it is showing in the entry order section as pending. I can't remove it or do anything with it????? It has been stuck pending for the last 15 minutes which isnt good. Does anyone know why?

    I can see this being costly..

    Totally don't get it. It has just opened it @ 15532. When I put the trade on it showed trade pending @ 15514. Is this general practice? Ive never known this to happen before.

    The Spain bailout has shifted and caused a gap, so this fundamental catalyst has turned cable bullish for now, its not general practise but it does happen when the markets react to a big weekend news break

    Buy (red) and sell (blue) zones.


    Price is making higher lows, RSI >50; triangle will breakout on the up side. Important level here: 5590 / 5600 thus the buy/sell zones on my chart for breakout or bounce.

    Targets should be 50 fib for longs and 5405 support for shorts

    Bed time. Hope I find an entry tomorrow morning as I missed the bounce off 5400.

    good luck traders
