Very tight stop on my view. It will be hitten now I think.
gbpusds volatility inside of this correction maybe is reason for wider stop loss?

Stop was hitten.
This is consolidation and on my view isnt time for scalpings now
With few such wrong shortterm directions you can loose hundreeds of pips now.
More than mid or longtermtrader if he is on wrong position. But he can
make 1000 - 2000+ pips if he is on right side now, what you cant with such tradings.

eurusd is much better for scalpings now

gbpusd now at 1.5375 what is near bottom of shortterm upside
moving channel.
In any case stop loss for buy orders have to be below this point
but from theoretical point of view even below first support
at 1.5257 .

British interest rate futures
rallied on Thursday after Bank of England Deputy Governor
Charles Bean said it was possible the central bank would have to
cut borrowing costs to zero.

Could this have the same impact downwards as when ECB hawk suggested that the Europeans would shy of cutting rates in January had upwards!

The high 1.5's or even 1.6 seems unlikely now as we will probably see this zero or near zero UK rate being priced in from now on!

Any thoughts?

Again LONG (I wrote about stop BELOW this point)

Quote:
below first support
at 1.5257 .
Stop at 1.5225

p.s. maybe was stop few pips too high. We are on support now
and few pips up or down ... It just touches stop and goes up again.
If brokes now this stop I will wait on more clear situation
This event and data regard 0% was unexpected

I speak the truth
Just to back end on John. Everyone should keep in mind who you are trading against when you Trade Forex. You are trading against the Banks, Brokers, and Market makers. They have Millions / Billions to slosh around in the Forex market. You are also trading against every Global Company out there that has to convert £ to $ or ¥ to $ or ¥ to £ to realize and post Quartly profits in their home country. If you have "never traded" before and Forex is your introduction to Trading.. I Challenge you to listen to professionals... Do not use this Form as a "Signal Service".
Watch the video in the link provided and make up your own mind.
Webcasts Details

You can learn to Trade but you need to be Educated and trained. Would you go to a doctor that never passed Medical School? Would you hire a Lawyer that never passed the Bar Exam? Paying for an education and Training is cheaper than letting the Market educate you. The Market is always right and will always win if you do not know what you are doing.

FXCM offers Education courses. It is cheaper to pay for these than to start off Paying the Market.

4weekfx just a heads up, you should add a disclaimer on that blog of yours before someone does as you sugest and then blaimes you for their losses (read lawsuit).

P.S. Keep up with the real time trading suggestions they are helpful.

Hi 4Weekfx,

Is there a written mistake in your post? I mean, the opinion expressed on the possibility for shorting EUR USD at 1.5524, as you suggest…… till Monday…..

Hope this should be read as 1.4524 level.

Thanks.

ALF

I think soon as we hit 1.5, it will be a good time to go long for a target of 1.5250, however will only be taking out a small position as very uncertain times.

Fingers crossed!
