A gain of 48 Pips in the Euro

I'm currently up to 183,000 after a large winning trade in the Euro. First I got a losing long trade of 13 pips. After this I reversed course and took a short, closed at +61 pips.
I also entered some long GBP trades after a BBC exit poll showed the conservatives winning a majority. Unfortunately I missed the 160 pips surge right after the poll was released. I'm not very confident about the GBP long trade. There is a lot of caution re:the exit poll with many doubting its validity. I may reverse c…

As the market proved me wrong, I'm back on the long side.

Pound to Break 5 Year High

The Pound made a new 5 year high on Thursday but as the trading week was trading to a close, Sterling was pushed back below the 1.7050 figure. The sharp selloff on Friday may lead to a short term move lower in the currency pair. Here is the price action in gbp/usd during the past few days.
I think the move higher will continue, even if we get a temporary retracement going forward. I expect the 2009 high at 1.7050 to give way in the coming month. Above 1.7050, the next important resistance stands…
