Cable&Fiber: Intraday Setups

FTMO Trader Scouting
Just got back from a quick trip in the H. G. Wells Time Machine.

Cable Shorts Ahoy, gentlemen!

I can't advise on exact entry points because I am not licensed to dispense specific trading recommendations.

The ideal timing may or may not be just prior to the GBP manufacturing production release... :-X
 
Its starts to get boring.. Waking up for the last week.. What do we do? Short everything... meh.. I'm starting to miss those consolidations... :'(

-P

Maybe Jack could publish the Nationality breakdown stats.

Well, the "location" data on your profiles is just a text set by the user, so that's not quite reliable (nor easy to tally, since some use the city they live in and others use their country... or even a fictional place.)

However, just for you, I pulled the geo report from Google Analytics

Last 30 days of activity for the top 5 locations: first column of data is "sessions", second column is unique visits.

Disclaimer: We have way more lurkers than posters. Most of these numbers are from members who don't post or people just reading along. For the ratio of users between countries, actual members are about the same makeup.. though with less UK and more Aussie and Canadian. For some reason our UK lurkers don't like to signup and post so much. (Prove me wrong UK users, I dare you! :p)

That wasn't the sell-off I was expecting... must be waiting for the Carney speech. Perfect entry/exit woulda got you 30 pips, but I'm looking for 50+ pips of downside.

Some days you gotta take the scalp profit, wait, then re-enter for the swing move.

I missed it Piper, but I think my analysis was correct?

If it goes back, I will take the trade maybe hoping for a double tap. This is assuming the order block on the daily usdx will not hold.

Good trade Piper congrats

why would anyone ever care to learn german? to be able to insult people in a language that actually sounds harsh itself? one of the few positives.

you got it in one
 
Trade: Cable Short
Key level: 6155 (1H order block)
Entry Pattern: OTE
Potential: 50+ (so far)

I was wrong about which news event would catalyze the move, but after the manufacturing production didn't give me what I was looking for, I had a strong suspicion that Carney's speech would be it. Pretty clear OTE entry, imo.

Yes. Indeed very clear. I still wish I had the time to thru smaller time frames and have those opportunities. For now, just watching them and once I have time and am fast enough will try to make intraday trades as well.

Now talking about the trade itself, I honestly believe this one can yield some ~110 pips. Reasons? Well price was driven towards two standard deviations from the dealers range. Also, daily support and lastly 127.0 extension.

Hard to actually make a definite point on this because we have no more news in the pipeline for today.

Bearing in mind that markets are fractal and that dealers make "manufactured" moves, this is somewhat possible for today.

Just my 2 cents.
