    EDIT:: Also I'm watching this 30 mins and 1541 failure is to set back the shorts for me..
    the 23.6% retracement of the multi-year rally from 1999 is also at 1526.84

    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

    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!

Also people please take a look at the EJ daily. A HnS might be in play. We will see once the neckline breaks... good day all!

    It's in my ----o tricks..... long live the BB20. I'm ready for a leg down to 2650, so who's going for the ride? Got stopped out I must confess with a trailing stop making breakfast for 19 in the green.

    Nice hold over of cable with some added "whipped cream". FOMC minutes and Fed president Bullard are a couple of "land mines" that I will steer clear. Thanks for the reminder!
