Guys who are long, where is your tp level? Assuming this is a countertrend trade, need to be real careful.
Expected the unexpected

I too was curious as to the longs in the 8670-75 area, just off the current daily high and just below resistance mentioned above. Whatever the case, g/l with them.

The U.s data released is generally historically low in impact, lest there be a big deviation from forecast (like all data) and although $ +'ve on ther face of it, the intraday market ignored the first release and carried on selling $ anyway after an initial knee-jerk small £ dip 10 pips or less, so perhaps that's a good sign to stay long £.

Of course what will happen, will happen, none of us know what and certainly there has been a strong recovery off the lows.

I'm not an expert, I already blew up two accounts and is busy with my third, this time taking it SLOOOOW.

Never only trade news... the charts usually already know whats gonna happen... 4hr - more seasoned traders and bigger institutions(presumable)

I changed my position from long at 1.8681. I closed at 1.8659 and took short at that level.
I think market still downward and big guys are going long on dollars.
We haven't seen any positive move on any daily or weekly charts to take a long postion.
I don't want to guess the bottom which I did from 1.97 and here I am when GBP at 1.86 level. Pulling my hair for not shorting from that level and took my profit from short at 1.98 level.
Follow the trend it's not over yet.
You will make more money holding your short then scalping 30/50 pips here and there.
