  1. Look on daily chart gbpjpy still on down wave, price having tendencies to bearish pattern and not yet any clue the tred will bend vice versa, seems still many trader chose sell on this pair

    You are both right.
    Even during high volatile periods, you must stay focus and trade as usual.
    Because the tape tells all, whatever the issue (political, central banks...) and you need to trade with your same routines and same money management.
    But it is true too that events like these must be exploited because they are great opportunities and create panics and euphorias. They are favorable for breakouts, V bottoms or V spikes strategies, pyramid strategies etc.
    "Go for the jugular" would say Georges Soros.

  8. Personally I am playing it by not trading the British Pound until things settle down. I am still trading the euro and yen. Having no position is often the best trade imo.

    I'll be flat immediately before, during and for a little while after the whole process.

    For me, it's too easy to get the overall direction right and still lose money, with these things. Who needs it?
