Tokyo, April 16. JPY crosses look to be pulling back a bit now after gains seen earlier following the release of China Q1 GDP data. Both EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY, star performers this morning are down alongside AUD/JPY, a pair which is more prone to move on Chinese data. The sales look to be of the after-the-fact variety with longs locking in profits.

 

[Pippy5000]

yep.. our whale buddies bailed that's all ..

 

[N Rothschild]

markets making ground accross the board, lets hope thats the end of this matter lol

 

[N Rothschild]

couldnt sleep, ive now shorted the hell out of it with more sell stops in place!

 

[Pippy5000]

nice move.. my trade survived by 3 pips and then reversed 200 pips higher for a profit..

 

[Pippy5000]

Looking to LONG Cable 1.485

 

[tripleogstar]

yea i think there just a bit of profit taking on sterling, but the trend is still upwards

 

[Pippy5000]

I heard it was exactly that ..

Am I the only one getting irritated by this Cable price action??

I want it to come down to 1.485 .. It keeps jumping up 30 pips and then falling but I don't really want in at 1.488 with stocks looking heavy

 

[Pippy5000]

I've got it nested now with a buy stop 1.494 and a limit at 1.485 .. do what you will Cable.

 

[Pippy5000]

heh.. whatever.. I'll just pick it up on every dip and grab 20 pips..
