Yet again the GBP Index has been much more fundamentally driven today, as the new PM arranges his cabinet. Thankfully this was more inline with our Dom long GBP pairs and very decent points were available at our usual times. The Dom short EURAUD did well also.

As expected, trading was made difficult today as our GBP was far more fundamentally driven with the change of PM and also statements from the BoE. This disrupted our Dom short GBP pairs as the pound strengthened, while the Dom long EURAUD gave some decent points on a poor ICS Balance. Points available but not easy.

Despite negative UK economic data today, the GBP is still being fundamentally driven with regards to the next Prime Minister. This has kept the initial strength we saw in the index at the UK open, giving us some decent trades in all our Dom long GBP pairs.
The Dom short EURAUD had a poor ICS Balance and this reflected in awkward trade entries and exits and would have been immediately dismissed at the onset. Not too bad a day!

The UK political turbulance is causing far more fundamential moves within our GBP pairs, making technical trading far harder than usual. However being armed with this knowledge, combined with the Domino Effect strategy, we still managed some very nice points in the morning session.

The GBP continues to be influenced by fundamentals, making our technical analysis and trade entries / exits more difficult. ICS Balances reflected this also, with very little momentum anywhere.
The beauty however is we knew this before the start of the UK morning session and could chose to trade, or on to trade! Overall points were still fairly plentiful but in no way were easy.
We live to trade another day!

Like yesterday, the GBP was fundamentally (not technically) driven by continued political infighting. Today we had the added ‘thorn’ of UK economic data at 7am which drove the GBP further down, giving yet more fundamental moves.
Overall there were still some decent points available after the markets settled.
