Thats a good question. I run Weekly, Daily, 4hr, and 1hr charts for tech analysis. I trade mainly off of 1hr and 30min charts. I always seem to catch the retracements a little bit late. Anything you could suggest to use to try and help get a better heads up on those?
TIA

i guess a brief summary on due diligence - all care taken no responsibility accepted - if you choose to accept the terms its assumed you have read and understood them

Do you use any kind of rsi or strength signal to tell when Cable is running out of strength and could reverse? I follow your post to see how my indicators are going and you always seem to beat me to the punch within the 1/2 hour of reversal. Just wondering how your doing that .
TIA

Loo / typing into the Archive's Comments section "due dilligence" yields, for example,

about brokers, legalities and lawyers :
I would say that it be best you do a good reading of the proposed contract any dealer sends you concerning their relations with you. You must remember that as in any business decision of association, due dilligence is your responsability. Whether you have a piece of paper or not in the end is pretty irrelevant anyway if the amount involved would be exceeded by any potential litigation costs. So ask who the principals behind the firm are, and do check out their personal background. (Even W. Buffet does) It is only common sence to know who you are dealing with beyond the name on the company letterhead. And define what "good" broker/dealer really means, to YOU. GV btw does not charge for recommending dealers, to the best of my knowledge, so I d ask them for their opinion as well before opening any accounts.

Here you go, I think this is what they're referring to.

As to FF post minutes ago by:

Tell you what, there are some seasoned pros who've said that in January as well. And I share your lament. Just trade light if at all until this jerky chart stuff clears up or take longer term trades with very small amounts to reduce risk and yet accumulate (theoretically) returns. I have done the later.
Kneejerk (fear of losing) has cost me a lot of potential profit (and tight stop hitting) in the last month. With one exception had I JUST WAITED before closing a seemingly bad entry; I would have gathered ALL those profits on seemingly opposite moves as to the chart that went ahead with my original forcast. I'm talking waiting "should have waited" from minutes to a day or two...certainly not LONG. The movement is jerky and to me anyway, in the short term not as predictable as it was prior to Xmas. But this jerky movement does hit your target if you wait and want to risk in short term trades...DEPENDING ON THE TIME SPAN you wish to wait for. Until a true trend develops over the next couple weeks, many are staying flat.

Some basic thoughts regarding Gbp:
Understand & monitor fib retracement levels. Gbp likes to bounce/sell off around these points….but knowing which range points to read is the key.
Normal day will run 100 pips H/L, if 100 pips not seen within 24 hour period, expect following daily range of 200 +
Gbp has tendency to run stops / spike @ European open before turning for daily direction.. if trading the first two hours with profit, be prepared to flip your position once upper/lower stops hit and if signal turns..
Once position entered on signal, set a T/P based on fib points, once hit, scale out and run remainder if no exit signal presents itself around fib area.
Trading Gbp/Usd requires individual setup parameters ie don’t follow a system that works well for Euro on Gbp etc..
One final note: Buying & selling off fib points last Friday netted 460 pips – intraday.

You can ask Jay for my email.
Spread isn't the most important thing to look for when you look for a broker. Some broker are giving you a good spread, but take back twice by slippage or price-shifting.
Also, when somebody is suggesting you one, ask him if he made business with them or he just repeat what he hearded.
