@Passyon,

Thats some enviable pip raiding sessions you have. One day when I have the time...

Took my earlier 35 pips on GBPUSD. Just re-entered a short at 1.7624 targeting just sub 1.7600.

Took profit at 1.7594.

Generally markets are trading in fairly decent ranges,and oscillators on the short time frame ae looking good. Actually in these conditions one can scalp almost every hour on the 5 min graph and make some 20-30 pips per trade.

Looking to short GBPUSD again when it retraces to 1.7620's levels (current 1.7590),and target around 1.7550-75. The next support is 1.7520,so have to trade in the direction of the market (down) i.e. keep shorting. ** Just indicating the trade strategy for newbies. I know it sounds too basic for some,and everyone has a trading strategy.

With Gold at 785 and Oil at 104 (edging closer to the psychological level of 100),we expect USD to continue with the run it experienced in the previously in the coming weeks.

@Passyon,

Pole,but soon the fibre optic will make things better.

Speaking of which,my station is down - my brokers are having some communication issues,so not just Kenya :)) So for now will just have to sit back and watch.

Have a nice evening.

Morning Bigisar...

As i have always said,Forex trading should never be a selfish venture..there is so much money to be made by everyone out there and it serves no purpose to hoard information unless one is mean to the core.

The NZD rate decision is up at midnight. Most economists expect the rate to be cut but by how much is the question. Anyway if the rate is cut by 50bp then expect NZD to lose against the USD. If the rates remain on hold then it would be preferable to buy NZD/USD...again all of this may come to naught especially noting that at midnight the Tokyo session is yet to come alive. I would expect greater movements during the Tokyo session that opens later in the morning.

As for now,the market is very choppy and there is nothing much to write home about. Lets see what happens in the London session.

Happy trading all!

Hi guys!

Tried to post morning idea but somehow it wasnt posting on SK. Oil hit 101 (brent spot even hit 99) and gold has broken 800. Hurricane Ike seems to be bypassing the main oil production areas on the gulf. I gues this reads a stronger USD,or maintain a strong tone. My trades will be shorting against the USD.

Current trades:

Short cable at 1.7590 - TP at 1.7560,SL 1.7620

Short GBP/JPY at 189.03 - TP at 188.60,SL 189.86

I haven't been a fun of trading NY session,but last night made quite a bunch of pips (more than 100 pips),so I think I will be taking some more trades while am relaxing at home in the evenings.

Below trades profit booked.

Entered a risky trade of long GBPUSD at 1.7562 for 15 pips. Not an advisable trade for all,just taking advantage of the oversold level of 5 min chart for a retracements,before I short again.
