who's trading during the United Kingdom EU Referendum

I will resume trading after vote tonight if UK votes to stay in EU which is already priced in.

If UK votes to leave the EU, I will wait until the boards are cleared as there will be a lot of upward pressure on USD and JPY currencies but will be short-lived.

Wish me luck ..holding for 1.50

Couldn't resist seeing the volatility making for some attractive scalping opportunities so am in but at the bare minimum .01 lot lol, and not trading GBP but EUR/AUD.

Trading with pretty low lot size at the moment, i believe we can perhaps risk little bit as the potential is simply huge, but again staying again can be a better decision at the end.

I've made over 4 k just shorting gold today. Also, there is a record short number in gold from the largest institutions for brexit alone. Trading during the actual outburst will hopefully live up to easily the most hyped financial event I've ever seen. If You're trading spot and not futures like me I would definitely trade it. Watchout for the head fake initially, if the market doesn't explode beforehand.

Hello, you should know that saying 4.000 of whatever doesn.'t mean anything... Based on that, the rest isn't worth reading, unless it is..! Bye.

30 pips short of target due to greed :/... Not a bad trade though

well. cable just dropped around 400 points in just a few minutes !! i got stopped out. good thing had a guaranteed stop in place. made enough money anyway.

this is the time time to day trade (or night trade here in the u.k.). what i suggest is you follow the t.v. coverage as of now. watch closely what results come in. cable will jump up if more votes on the remain side come out as and when. . however will drop drastically if more votes come out on the leave side.

so watch the t.v as the results are revealed from each area, the moment a result comes out showing more votes to remain, buy cable immediately. and vice versa.

this is a good time to make tons of money going long or short the cable as and when the results are revealed.

be careful though, the spread is likely to be horrendous. a few minutes ago when cable dropped (because the first set of results came out favouring 'leave') the spread was as wide as 30 points !!

market going crazy

Went short at 1.49 a few hours prior to the polls closing. To me, it seemed crazy that the market had rallied considering how tight the polls were. It was as if they thought Remain had it in the bag. In reality it was much more of a 50/50 proposition, and the day's rally presented the perfect short opportunity.

Just after polls closed I got cold feet upon reading results from a few of the days polls, so I exited half my position at break-even. Then the results started coming in and the bottom fell out of the market. Mad swings down then slight retraces.. Wen down to 1.36 then bounced to 1.38, where I unfortunately exited. Should have let that ride.. still, TP at 1100 pips ain't bad

It saddens me to see that the (I AM) poll option is winning. If so many traders out there like to gamble so much why not just go to a casino? Just so ridiculous....

I'm not trading anything till things calm down. It may even take a weak before this happens....

Hi Im still newbie,
I am wondering why GBP up against USD will affect too much pressure on AUD. seems like AUD/GBP goes go up. the other AUD pair goes down.
Ask for the fundamental reason behind, not technical.

Thanks.

My advice is to not ignore huge news events like this. Gold is historically seen as a safe haven during high currency market volatility.

gamblers who are not going to be around very long

The volatility makes for great trading. Just need to make sure you get in before the bucket shops increase the spread.

I got out early yesterday on the live account and did alright, but stayed in on a demo or two just to see what would happen. Even though I took a profit, the conclusion to the week seems bittersweet. It's too risky, and the worst thing is how much my broker has interfered with my trading.

In other news, anyone else's broker 'offering' spreads of 20+ pips on GBP crosses at the moment?! That seems a little excessive, surely. I found at least one other in the 5-7 pips range.

Expected move on GBPUSD and NZDUSD. Surprise on USDJPY!!

I think the real moves just happened hours after the results.. $ looking strong as hell. Gold just dipped in its uptrend. $1350 ahoy!!

well i thought the vote would be rigged for sure ...completely shocked ..

And all the good trading while i'm fast asleep
