Ashrif,

With the euro sitting at it's fib retacement from it's last big bull run could we see a strong correction to the downtrend in the next week?

Thanks Terry

Chloe-now you see why I remained flat (except for a small usd/cad) position after all my limit orders to close were hit on the Chinese news. The PPT came in BIG TIME to the markets. They will defend Dow 10k at ALL costs.

Monday is a holiday in the U.S. If I open any additional positions in asia/european sessions today, they will be closed by 9 am NYT tomorrow.

aswat, you can hedge your short cable by long EURJPY (smaller position than cable) or "conservatively" long EURUSD.

I hope this isn't a stupid question. I have a short position in GBP/USD with stops at 1.5850 (the low of the previous wave down).

My question for anyone who has an idea is this: How could I hedge this position? What are the options?

@Pipped: 1097.8 eh? Yes, I see what you mean. I'd probably have been better waiting for something like that. "Wait for the market to come to you...", rather than chasing it. I'm getting slightly better at this, but still need to work on it.

@Rob: Yes, I think that 1067 was a _possible_ short-term target, e.g. for today. At one point I thought it was heading south with good momentum, but it bounced back. Maybe it will turn out that that ~1077 (double bottom...?) was the low of the day. Let's see what next week brings.
