Bank Holiday Trading the GBPUSD currency market

I don't tend to trade Bank Holidays as volumes are low and traders are generally off taking long weekends. These are times when the markets can do funny things. I didn't trade today but in hindsight, our system would have worked and bagged our 30 pips.  For reference, here is the chart, the upper line is at 14493 and the lower at 14444.
