Didn't trade anything new Friday. I had a pretty good month and the lot sizes on this trade are low enough that I sleep just fine. I'll probably let this run at least until Monday's close. We'll see what happens. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Good evening RJ.
Today is the first UK Bank Holiday since I returned to trading. In the past, there seemed to be an attitude of caution, of wondering what would happen, if anything, with London closed. And then, on some occasions, the market would behave as if London was open and active. I had a GU set-up too but I'm on the side-lines just watching at the moment. You're in the trade because you had a set-up. Does London being closed have any impact on your thinking?

Thanks for your help, warmth and straight talking Heather.

Hi there. Yes, I do pay attention to London Bank Holiday, and yes, it does have a bearing on how I trade this session. The setup on which I entered is a bit of a long shot after the rise of the GBP so my lot size is reduced accordingly. I can't enter my usual risk but I'm prepared to 'test the waters' with a small risk. One other factor is the USDX. If that can mount a correction to it's falling of the proverbial cliff recently, that may cause the GBP to also correct. Same might happen with the Euro. It's a gamble, for sure, but as I say, my risk is much reduced from normal, so I'm just having a dabble to see how things pan out,
