We also went long the EURGBP pair this morning but closed that trade at break even. On Thursday we placed an order to short GBPUSD. The signal was as follows:

GBPUSD Sell 1.7079 SL 1.7021 P1= 1.7061 P2= 1.7043

This trade performed nicely with no surprises (see the chart below):

We issued the following signals, which were not triggered but were not cancelled either. We are going to keep these orders open until the next day.

There were no signals on Tuesday and today’s signal was not triggered as the market continued moving sideways.

We traded news in USDCAD this morning:

USDCAD Buy 1.0776 SL 1.0750 P1= 1.0796 P2= 1.0806
USDCAD Sell 1.0750 SL 1.0776 P1= 1.0727 P2= 1.0716

This news trade was a real-life example of the worst price move scenario in action. Unfortunately days like this happen from time to time and one just needs to cope with the losses they bring.

Right after the news release the price dropped sharply triggering short positions. As soon as our short orders got filled the price turned 180 degrees and went up triggering stops of our short orders and simultaneously opening our long positions. The up move was not far enough nor was it long enough to make any profit. The following down move forced us out of the long position. The price ended up going nowhere and we ended up losing -198 pips.

We traded the Australian news release at night:

AUDUSD Buy 0.9403 SL 0.9374 P1= 0.9423 P= 0.9443
AUDUSD Sell 0.9374 SL 0.9403 P1= 0.9354 P2= 0.9334

The price went up first triggering our buy orders but then it reversed hitting our stop-loss orders. The long trade resulted in a loss of -81 pips. As soon as we got out of the long trade, we opened a short position, which did not go far and was closed at break even.
