Very high risk buying GBP/JPY in my opinion. There is too much news around, re. Brexit/Government/PM May and that will move Sterling over the coming few days or so, so very hard to predict.

Sure it may bounce up a bit from here (it's trying), but it would only be a speculate trade based on second guessing and trying to pick a bottom. So a gamble more than anything else.

I'm looking to re-short at some point on any bounce. If more bad news breaks (eg. vote of no confidence in PM May that is whispered about in the corridors of Westminster parliament), then GBP/JPY will go crashing down again through these recent lows.

Will probably sit out of trading Monday's session and wait for some clarity.

Not really - look at the volatility last week on GBPJPY. Completely news driven. I work primarily using TA but to ignore the reality of the current volatile political situation, where unexpected news can drive the pair very quickly is trading with one-eye closed to reality. You're handicapping yourself.

Big news will override any short-term TA setup, hence the gamble. Better to wait and be patient until the odds are more in your favour. Plus there is little to nothing from a TA point of view that justifies jumping in with a buy now - it would be a high speculative counter-trend trade. There's always better trades than that just around the corner, IMHO

I am swing trader. Long GU from 1.2740 to 1.3600/1.3700. Don´t care about the news. You are right for 2 digit pips. Apart from normally loosing money, energy and stress is lost. Eventhough, i beleive it is possible to trade TA in small cycles without listenning to news. I have not found the way but medium cycles.

I know Elliot was TA, Gann TA and Martin Armstong TA. I have not found a single person who got trading right by interpreting news nor someone who has written his news strategy. That would be really good. May let go a fart: will it be long or short?

Yes, agree ... if you're out to trade big swings I can see some justification in what you say. But we are still in the situation where some news could break due to the known volatile political situation in the UK. Why ignore that - it is highly useful information even if you are a TA trader? It could drive GJ 100s of pips either up or down in the blink of an eye - who knows in advance - we can't know, that is the point. The news will be random. What we do know at the moment is the likelihood of some news breaking so why take on that volatility and second guess? There's better times to enter trades in my view where you are not open to taking on the randomness of news flow which is highly anticipated at this time. But we all have different styles and approaches - what makes a market. Good luck

As I suggested above - very quick about 100 pip move down - news driven. Very hard to trade short term with such random movements.

But what we do know is that we have high level of confidence that we are going to have such moves at moment (just direction unknown), due to high political uncertainty. Hence why I'm staying out today. Better days to trade IMHO.

Wouldn't have a clue - just that some 'news' item moved the market short term. We'll not doubt get more news and reactions too, in current climate of political uncertainty.

Whatever makes you happy (and comfortable) if you prefer that way. I'll stick to avoiding trading news or entering the markets when news is highly anticipated. Cuts down on the randomness.

Been out of the market is a trading position There's always another day.

Of course mate. I have just focussed on "news". In my opinion, it triggers the trend(not reversals). It is very honorable to stay outside the market if conditions does not suit you.

There is a double bottom at 144.25, I think that soon we may see another move north to 145.70.
