It's 8:30 AM in New Zealand, so some FX trading activity is taking place at this moment.
In fact Forex never sleeps really, even during the weekend, because some banks and Forex dealers can still buy/sell currencies via the Interbank, depending on their needs.
It's impossible to stop money.

Well, if your stop is 15 pips the order could go through and trigger your stop immediately due to the huge Sunday spread.
That spread will prevent you from outsmarting your FX broker in most cases.

As a day trader I don't see anything interesting on the cable and all its crosses at the moment.

However, the GBP/CAD offers a potential trading opportunity. It will be interesting to see the price action around that big fat 115 pips "bearish" candle (see chart): seller's trap or real bearish sign...?

If you are tracking GBPUSD this week, note that presently, price action on the weekly time frame shows a struggle between the bulls and the bears with the bulls still more influential. Should the bulls overpower the bears, a much likely target upwards will be the immediate resistance zone around 1.3030, which adjoins the 61.8 Fib and may also retest the descending trendline (chocolate colour). On the H4 time frame, price action is operating within an ascending channel with the technicals in support of a bullish push upwards. You can get further details on this from weekly technical outlook.

I may be wrong. Trade safe and prosper.

Japanese GDP report in 35 minutes (6:50 PM EST).

Not sure if it's going to move the GBP/JPY but let's take a look, we never know...

Seems like the GBP/JPY is breaking from some sort of triangle on the 15-min chart, ahead of the JPY Gross Domestic Product numbers.
When the Yen starts moving during the Asian session, watch out, it does not wait for anybody!

However, we also have an un-filled Sunday gap just sitting there...

Like I said a few weeks ago, the Yen does not react to JPY-related financial news reports immediately, at least not anymore, for some strange reasons.

I have noticed over and over that the real move usually comes 15 to 90 minutes later, in most cases.

Why I don't have a single clue.

Another perfect example.
The GBP/JPY did not move for more than 10 minutes after the GDP report and then made a sudden 50 pip move in 6 minutes.

The Yen is a very very sneaky and subtle currency indeed.

Now let's see if we can find a nice entry point....
