EUR/GBP : Importance of Awaiting Confirmation

  • Reminder to myself NOT to jump in ahead of confirmation of trade signals.
  • BOE minutes (concern about weak currency => inflation) and UK unemployment data a lot better than expected, causing a strong rally in GBP (EUR/GBP now 0.8977).
  • Looks like the triangle breakout I was looking for yesterday is going to be delayed for a while.
  • Fortunate not to have taken any action in spite of strong gut feel about long EUR/GBP trade. Also thankful that I reduced short GBP/USD positions last week.
  • The long wait continues.
