Tin Hats at the ready BP its NFP time

huge upward spike in gbp on the way

It's not my favourite time to be in a trade - just before NFP (stops get hit left, right and centre)
out at 1.3108 +7

With the benefit of the hindsight I could have managed it better - closed the part and moved the stop. Anyway I didn't feel comfortable with it and that's a good enough reason for me to close it

Now waiting if anything comes along - best to let it jump around for 15-20 mins after the report to get an idea.

this can still retrace all loses,if this trade gets stopped out,I probably wont re enter,retraces generally start quicker than this

Deja vu
