honestknave replied Feb 11, 2015This isn't a criticism - or even an observation - because I don't trade cable and I don't know what your set up was. I'm using the quote simply as a catalyst for discussion (it's a painfully slow day on fibre!) When price doesn't react how we expect ...

honestknave replied Feb 11, 2015Hi beepbop2015, That's the right attitude i.e. don't quit, but step back and reassess the situation. It has been a very strange market the last few weeks which makes it hard to read, and even harder to learn on. Looking forward to seeing your charts ...
