Talk on GBPUSD

Hi,

I'm new to trading and I'm looking for what's behind the movements of the GBPUSD

Do traders trade during news?
what affects this pair?

and any other advice you traders have on this pair, I'm not looking for a complete in-depth knowledge or analysis just something to help us get going and looking in the right places.

Everyone can sit on the internet and read up 100's of forums and posts, however if you're reading the wrong things etc.. you wont get anything hense why i started this topic.

Look forward to all your replies and maybe one day i'll give it back

All the major US news (eg. NFP, ISM manufacturing)
All UK major news (eg. BOE rates adjustment, GDP)

The rest are news from ECB (usually unexpected).

Look out for certain news releases which Reuters subscribers get early. It's worth pulling up an M1 chart and observing. If the fundamentals agree with the general, say, D1, trend then you're in. Unless you trade with a bucket shop then you have to place a nifty stop order. If you're with an ECN you should get a fill at the price you want.

Look out for compressed Asian ranges before the London open. This works for other pairs, too. Notably USD/CHF and EUR/USD. Someone will probably shoot me now.

No, really, it's not that easy. But the London open is a good place to look for strategies that will work. At the moment.
