Day Trading Review - September 2, 2010

Published on Thursday September 2nd, 2010 at 10:28AM by kiloandstitch

Traded the news again with Cable today. I had a tiny hunch that the construction PMI would also come in worse than expected, just like the previously reported manufacturing PMI. There was minor support-turned-resistance around 1.5400 and the price stalled there prior to the data release so I just shorted at market. 

UK's construction PMI missed the consensus and this pushed Cable back down to the previous week low. I should've been more patient and waited for the price to hit my PT there. But the price seemed to pull back towards 1.5400 and it appeared to have a difficult time breaking the bottom daily ATR so I just locked in my profits right there.

Earlier today, Cable broke below its Asian session lows and I thought of shorting at the retest. Unfortunately, it didn't reach that high. Still, it continued to slide all the way down to the previous week low. Going long in that area also would've been nice but I wasn't so confident with going against the intraday trend.
