[U] Fundamental [/U]– Exhaustion of risk appetite rally, QE plans by the BOE, mixed data from the U.K.

[B] Trade Adjustments: [/B]
I’ll scout news reports to determine if risk sentiment will once again rally next week. If reports are still positive, I’ll consider cancelling my orders. I also plan on moving my stop loss to break even if I get triggered and price goes down, and I plan to cut losses early if my trade gets triggered and risk appetite is still strong.

So GDP/USD ended the week on 1.58193. Are you going to make a pending order for the time the pound reach your entry point? I must agree that the trade looks very interesting and I will definitely try it.

Thanks for sharing

No problem!

I plan on reading about any news that might affect risk appetite before I put in any orders :slight_smile:
