Does anyone in this thread trade the GBP USD options?
I'm planning too in the near future.
There are those who know, and there are those who don't know.

I'm thinking of opening 4 strangles here at 1.69 and 1.64 for March.

I'm assuming one can only trade these options during market hours and not whenever Forex happens to be up and running?

Yes the forecasts he is quoting can be found on that link if you look towards the right where all those columns are!
Gosh, if we see votes to raise interest rates to a magnitude of at least 5>4 just imagine the panic that will set in..especially after such a strong rally..
I'll be watching to sell then

Bullish momentum has consolidated overnight, so now looking set to rally towards 760-780. If unemployment figures are positive cable will fly north.

'Should' all be unanimous votes and the bank 'shouldn't' change anything. Even one vote would turn sentiment, IMO.
I think the surprise would be from the Unemployment claimant count. Here's the trends of previous claimant counts here from the FF calendar:

Some info specific to the Gbp/Usd for today:
GBPUSD – Stop orders on either side as we approach UK Unemployment & BoE decisions. Sell stops under 1.6650, large buy stops growing at 1.6750

Trip in to those and there's going to be big liquidity demand in that direction.
