Bad luck @Chloe. Well I bailed out of my Gold short around 1086 .... and it carried on down to ~1073 *weep*. +ve pips, but not as many as it could have been! Still, it's impossible to get every pip out of a run except by sheer luck, IMHO. As one old trader I read about said "don't be greedy...leave some on the table for the other feller..." (or gal, of course). I think there is a lot of truth in that.


@Gunjack: Not in my very humble opinion, but I'll tell you, my stops are _well_ above 1.63 just in case.

Apparantly BP (British Petroleum) is no longer buying sterling as they did all day in London session to support their dividend.

Is BP part of the Goldman-backed Cable Cartel?

Apparantly S&P does NOT share Goldman Sach's view that cable IS the Bastion of Safety in this world.

Tough one for the Cartel. They got caught long with a boatlaod of trash sterling. I'm sure they will be working offers on eur/gbp first chance they get.
