any ideas ?? im new and in deep on a sell …
Check your pivot points.
what is resistance? Buy go long…looking for breakout
what is support? If it breaks support…go short…sell
And use tight stops…and keep your fingers crossed,because no one can predict which way the market will go next.
its gambling…its a crabshot…just go for it.
Just remember 1 thing if nothing else…Don’t Gamble more than you can afford to lose:rolleyes:

The British pound has had a great week thanks to broad dollar weakness and strong economic data.
The UK retail sales report has raised a lot of questions as to how much longer the Bank of England can remain on hold. Earlier this week, Bank of England Governor King warned that inflation could hit 4 percent this year, which is 2 full percentage points higher than their inflation target. The only thing holding the BoE back from raising interest rates now is growth, but if growth is stabilizing, then a rate hike may be just around the corner. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of data to help the British pound next week. The calendar is relatively light except for a few reports on house prices, the final GDP numbers for the first quarter and current account.
I’m short at 1.9686 from last week. I’d say we have a better than average chance that it goes down. Nothings for certain in this business though. As far as tight stops go. It all depends on your system. As long as they don’t take you out of good trades.
youd be out by now ?? its gone down well, 1 of my three are closed and i have 2 left, 1.9599 and 1.9670 both short…
Hey I’m new here but I trade the GBP/USD a lot so I thought I would introduce myself first. I’ve been trading the currency markets for about a year and traded stocks for about 5 years before that. I like the currency markets a lot better and I hope we can all make a lot of money together!
Heres why I think it is going down…
Got the GBP/USD in a breakout triangluar consolidation pattern on the 4H and 60M charts (easier to see on the 4H). Shorter term downtrend is hitting the longer term uptrend (in the midst of a daily/weekly downtrend, with me so far?) and is forming the triangluar pattern. I expect a breakout in on direction or the other, obviously, but I think it will be down.
