Forex Trading: British Pound Getting Hit Hard Across The Board

By Greg Michalowski on May 13, 2009 | More Posts By Greg Michalowski | Forex News By FXDD

The GBP continues to get hammered across the board following some very cautious statements from the BoE’s King and an Inflation Report noting slow UK recovery.  The GBP/USD has hit a fresh session low of 1.5159 as the pair is moving down to the 100 Hour Moving Average.

BoE’s King: UK in worse position than many other countries

- Economy needs a period of healing
- Output decrease reflects decline in confidence
- Adjustments taking place in an uncoordinated fashion
- UK savings rate will need to rise
BOE QUARTERLY INFLATION REPORT: SEES RELATIVELY SLOW RECOVERY, CPI BELOW 2% UNTIL 2012
- Economy aided by stimulus plan and weaker GBP
- Uk economy still vulnerable to further shocks

Now that the FTSE has been pounded from green into red,
we wait to see which hue fits the Dow.

Hi dear Members
it is my Easy forex Trading system:

GBP/USD

At 5PM EST:
1: Close out any open positions
2: Cancel any unexecuted orders
3: Set an Entry Buy order 1 pip above previous high
4: Set an Entry Sell order 1 pip below previous low
5: Set stops and limits using the following guidelines:

50 pip profit target, 25pip stoploss if ADR ABOVE200
4p0ip proift target, 20stoploss if ADR BETWEEN 175 and 199
30pip profit target, 15stoplsos if ADRBELOW 175

Do no trade if ADR is below 100

How to calculate ADR
It may be easiest to use an excel spread sheet for this.
Take the H/L for each day, for the past 14 days.
For each day list the amount of pip’s between the H and L
Example. H = 1.5623 L = 1.5586
6523 - 5486 = 137
Add the total amount of pip’s for all 14 days and divide it by 14.
This will give you the average daily range.

Average pips: +250 - +300 per month.
Max drawdown since 2008:175 pips.

Have moreprofits. Best regards.

I was just wondering if anyone had any investment tips for this bad market?
If it’s not just all bots here, let me know. I’m looking to network
