GBPUSD:

SELL if it rises to 2.0280. (just below yesterdays latter downspike, and this mornings sideways action=resistance)
Stop-Loss=2.0330 (approximate peaks of earlier morning peaks before the big move up)

Profit Target=2.0200. (recent support)

If my trade is selected, I will monitor and amend as necessary during the day.
Risk/Reward=50/80.

Hi trendie,

Since you have a good track record I'll place an order for this shortly.
Hopefully we'll get triggered this time and get a winner

I'm on IM at [email protected] if you want to get me to alter the trade in haste, but once (and if) triggered I try to watch it at midday and at about 5pm (apart from yesterday as I was out all evening )

Thanks again

crap!

Yep exact same problem I had yesterday...albeit in slow motion....this trading format is almost unworkable and may be the reason more are not joining in.

Stopped out at 13.42 @ 2.0330

As frustrated as you guys, so as I said earlier, any constructive workable solutions would be really welcomed.

maybe someone could open a hotmail account and then invite 10 or however many of us are willing to his IM. we could then just type in a trade as we make it and if say all of the moderaters have access to the capital spreads account theres a good chance at least one will be at the computer to place it since everyone could just have the IM on in the background

Thanks tightstops but I don't want to complicate things further tbh.
I'm already on IM at [email protected] from about 8.30am to 1.00pm most days if you want to get me about possible trades.
