Thank you for this info. Just bought a few dollars and will report back in April to say how it all went :beer:You'll get an even better rate if you call and ask for their Cancelled Contracts rate which is currently $1.7499

Whether you should go for it is entirely up to you. Your money is at risk if anything happens to CCE. I have used them several times with no problems and the money has always arrived on the date agreed.0 -

Cable chart is forming a W formation maybe, I dont know if that applies well to currencies but either it falls today onwards in value or we see a channel breakout in worth of the pound vs dollar.
Look for 1.61 tomorrow, if that occurs I would then expect it to be the start of a positive move0 -

The dollar turned strong instead so there was no breakout and instead we fell very consistently.
A recovery in the price longer term looks a bit more unlikely unfortunately especially if we cant hold onto 1.5853.
This was the low price for december, we're wavering on it right now
The arrow was yesterdays cable price at time of posting and also marks the trajectory I was projecting as possible. Now more unlikely0 -

Yesterday morning i put £500 on the FairFX and got $785, you may be aware that after you have loaded the card you must wait a few hours before you can reload it. Last night i loaded £500 on it and got $770 - $15 in the course of a few hours.
Well miffed with the £/$ situation.The Summer Holiday of a Lifetime0 -
