Actually the trade wasnt even based on fundies. I figured the GBP would keep weakening due to some odd flows in the EG as of late and with the QE measures they are undertaking Ive been trying to short at tech entries and just managed to snatch this one today....

I know the GBP is more of a Beta currency so it gets hit harder than the EUR during risk off environments.... but i really didnt expect it to take a "pounding" like this...

could be people also positioning agaisnt the GBP due to the fact that Cameron said "fuck you" to the entire EZ at the summit too... now London is taking on the entire Eurozone in a game of chicken...

Do I ever! That was me a few months back. Were together a long time...just couldn't go on. 95% of it was roses...other 5% was fundamental differences at the core. Kinda stinks...but that's life. We move on. I'm having an absolute ball now...spending FAR too much money, though!

Good move on some lock in...LO wasn't too happy with that flow. Could just be a bounce to get their price, though. Still...well locked!

Ironically enough for the same reason im long on USDCHF, franc cap being raised means USD and Euro both go north, which is right now the only reason the eurousd should not be fully collapsing, this can only be achieved through the SNB though currently. Its just too hot of a topic, besides it was a heavy position.

Did you see the swissy just testing that 0,93 again and failing? Its a fucking disgrace whats going on, if they ever blow those stops the reaction north is going to be so massive its going to kill all accounts who are holding shorts up there...

Yet its just so frustrating watching it bounce off that 0.93.. All technicals are pointing north but they keep resisting it.. its fucking lunacy
