I forgot that the US markets are not open today due to Independence so perhaps it probably wasn't a good day to trade. Oops!
Anyway, I shorted the GBPUSD at 15120 as it moved below the support line. It dropped 15 pips... I've got a 80 pip stop and a 75 pip target on this. However, it's currently retracing and that's the thing on holidays. Low volume means that it takes less to move the market and could also mean that some traders go stop hunting... that's moving the prices around to take out

Today at 1.30pm GMT time the Non Farm Payroll economic news hits the markets and usually you would expect some volatility in these markets. Big ticket news items like this can completely mess up your trading system so it's best to avoid it. I didn't trade today but if I had done.. I would have lost.
Although there was movement it was choppy and was just moving up and down with no clear direction....

I was a little bit disappointed with how the 4-to-7 GBPUSD system worked today... my short was around 14727 and it didn't really go anywhere.. it just went and hit my stop exactly before it reversed and it would have made 30 pips.
The long trade did activate and get my 30 pips but I still ended up 20 pips down.
