So lets try to understand what goes on in William's mind. Words like, disoriented, hesitant, lost, uncomfortable, etc can be used to describe his body language from 2:34 to 2:37 minutes. As he starts to talk to the BBC reporter he seems very humbled ...

Well Barclay HK as per Richard's text was offering at 60 Calling Direct William got a better deal ( or at least he thought ) at 54. Not only a better price but the spread. Now I don't know if the spread was really shrinking or Richard used it ...

Hey Steve thanks a lot for the correct transcription! I don't know why I could not hear "he can lead the market". To my ears he was saying "you can lead the market". Now it makes a lot more sense. Thanks again for the big help Steve!

Thanks goodness the day is over. I'm closing a position taken on 3377 for 5 pips. I'm tempted to let it run with a 10 pips stop loss but you never know if the broker will respect it, so to come here later and see that they closed my trade for -30 is ...

Good day so far. Made +27 pips between 4:30 and 5:40 AM. I love London! I'm glad I made some pips yearly because since than I'm sitting on my hands. I hate FOMC days the market becomes a mess. Since I'm having conflicting signals and visually I'm ...
