Cable Update: 11.01.2013 14:41hrs

Cable:

Price has retraced to the Daily Pivot Point and my first order has been triggered at 1.6110.

I am Long Cable from 1.6110 with 0.25% exposure.

I have removed the second order.

There is data due to be released at 13:30hrs from the USA in the form of US Trade Balance.

Therefore with the new announcement only 45minutes away, I have moved the stop Loss to break even eliminating the risk on this position.

Chart below:

 
Have a good afternoon

EUR / USD Update: 09/01/13 14:39hrs

EUR / USD:

Price has messed around for most of the morning.

During this range bound period I have been stopped at break even.

Price has since made its move down by 40 odd pips. Nothing to exciting but still a profit of 1.5%

I could have held the risk on the position, but i just wasn't prepared to be stopped out for -1% in a slow market.

Chart below:

 

 
I am a tad gutted as my entries were perfect with today's high at 1.30954.
However I would be more gutted to get stopped on a position that was doing nothing and had become only a 50 - 50 shot at 5am.
For the trade to be viable I need a push away from the entry as soon as possible.
I held the risk over night and wasn't happy holding into The London Open.
 
My Bad....
 
I will post again when I find the next strategy trade.
