Opti..may take a trade gbp\eur looking at a consolidation break...5min....and later maybe usd\jpy been on a good run so could take some heat out when the moment is near. Bad luck on the loosing trades ...all part of the process sadly.

Optimus..I followed you into aud\usd and had two shorts running up to midnight and had wins on both, was a bit slow and flukey tho. Yes alot of small moves etm...was looking to take eur\usd 1.1846 long based on 4hr DB but not clear. Keep looking

Optimus yes you could have had much more from AUD USD and still seems bearish mid term.

correction 'the pairs index'

Opti--those were my profits in yen approx £850 I gave £127 back on my stopped trade..I have to dig into statement to get conversion, I don't use IG as broker but I just use their Layout on my other screen. Hmm I really don't know about correlation, I take your point tho, the pairs currency in same direction isn't what you want etc - I understand the principle, I'm sure it works\plays a part - but for me it adds another layer of complexity and I like to keep it simple. If I thought about it too much I'd never take a trade lol.

Reply from IG Re Layout Error........ Hello and welcome to IG. My apologies as we are experiencing an issue with our layouts on our web platform. It is still being investigated. ....... Its been like it for two days....Would it work correctly with another browser ? IG... Unfortunately different browsers does not resolve the issue and only if you use the standard layout will it not show you the error. I apologize for the inconvenience caused.

GS thanks for that, think I'd be pretty rubbish at picking something over that length of time, will have think. Opti..stopped out of gbp\jpy... :( Whats wrong with IG charts ?? not loading correctly...

Now short again gbp\jpy off R2 ..150.50...target piv just above 150

One 82k and a 50k short trade this morning (yen) off of gbp\jpy... was thinking of a swing from invert head and shoulder but bottled it...put gas in the tank so can't grumble... Dixie still holding well, should go on to test 200p and above maybe. GL--

Alot of range bound out there - including gbp\jpy 150,11... but maybe short as bear flag and divergence across some frames to 149,400 S1..

usd\jpy unclear for me atm, I'm letting is settle and looking for another pair...any thoughts ?

GS-- don't know anything about the comp you mention, fill me in if you get time.. have you seen the idox damage 30p now !! with a monster gap, had the chart upside down on that one lol.....not really a candidate for mean reversion technique or is it. Wild moves on Dom today didn't realise they ate pizza in Iceland ! Opt-- been shorting the jacob's off usd\jpy since yesterday.. my fave pair for sure. Have a good weekend All....

Seems to me Boo may look at 200p before turning back again. Anyone seen Hott since the blizzard ?

Opti thanks I take your point re hils...its funny how things can take an opposite outlook... boo is starting to look bullish at times, I must be wrong :) Holding the usd\jpy shorts so more of a swing.. holding out for 112, had my stops above today's piv. keeping a close eye any reaction from boc Poloz speech.

hils 1324p looks like a short opportunity at this level... down to 1200p maybe...

Opti still short usd\jpy with stops moved down, hoping this could run to 112.. 38% fib again lets see how that pans out. Added to Dixon position today with a 225p target - fingers crossed...Hott AV what's going on ? one step forward two back...disappointing. GS- well done on eth.. Some saga signs of life today. GL All..

Behold the esoteric black art of ta really works sometimes !.. I refer to my post re MRW Sat 12:54 Still holding Dixon broken the rule again, been out a fair bit so unable to trade really. Opti with you on short usd\jpy... just... amatter of the timing :) etherium it's the future - quantum computing not far away. GL-- all

Been on the road, I don't want to deprive the city boys their stocking filler so closed talk before leaving - ..couldn't risk it and as you say hott 120p on the cards and a quick recovery maybe. AV and Dixon holding up amidst the devastation, may have to close Dixie tomorrow before results. Esure looking tempting.... EZJ I wouldn't be surprised to see push on to 1600p https://www.reuters.com/article/fitch-affirms-talktalk-telecom-at-bb-out/fitch-affirms-talktalk-telecom-at-bb-outlook-stable-idUSFit210LDG?rpc=401& http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/188584/city-broker-reckons-talktalk-will-breach-its-bond-covenants-next-year-if-it-doesnt-chop-divi-by-40-188584.html

Hott thanks for those thoughts, keeping an eye on it.... Just been looking at MRW initially as a long but Noo looks like classic bear flag...back to 200p maybe.

Black its all Black. Already priced in ? A consensus of City analysts expect the firm to report a colossal 56% fall in underlying pre-tax profits to £63 million on Wednesday. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/business/business-news/560277/dixons-carphone-to-report-profits-slump-as-mobile-market-falters/
