Today, I look at the charts as usual but didn't see any longer timeframe trades felt as though I was able to read the markets with the GBPUSD pair. I shorted at 15510 as you can see with a stop at 15540 and it wasn't long before my stop was hit.
I had no signal to enter, just felt as though I knew what was happening. This sometimes happens when you have had some success lately, the confidence gets to you and then you get over confident with your abilities. The market then humbles you.

I know some really lucky traders who were long of the Swiss forex pairs. Although you wouldn't have been able to seen this coming the Swiss National Bank (SNB) sold a huge chunk of Swiss Franc which sent the Swiss pairs rocketing.
The USDCHF went 800 points and both EURCHF and GBPCHF rocketted 1000 points! This amounted to an almost 9% depreciation in the currency.
If you were lucky and were long of this currency before the SNB intervened, you would be sitting on a small fortune!

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
