![GBPUSD trading luck today!]()
I've dropped the chart into the 5 minute chart so you can see clearer.. the upper and lower band today were so close that I felt a bit uncomfortable with the trade... the upper band was at 14836 and the lower was 14819, a mere 17 points which is tiny.
However, I put in the orders and from the graph, my short should have been hit which would have been a loss. It looks like it was within a pip or so... so that was extremely lucky.
The long came on just before 8am however and powered away..

I saw that the market had consolidated from yesterday after shooting up strongly. A consolidation usually happens after any particularly large moves so rather normal.. however, the market could have easily topped here or just biding time before heading higher. I wanted to play it safe so I didn't trade...
