- It seems like this trade is going on well... with ytd session closed a convincing bull.
- Slight concern ahead could be the price currently testing the 10/20MA resistance area. It could be a significant area to pay attention to.
- Will certainly hold on to this trade with close eye on the 10/20MA area

- The last day of the trading week closed without any significance as it nears the 20MA resistance.
- I do expect the current bullish trend to continue unless bearish price action shows near the 20MA resistance

Updates - 24 Jan 2017:
- This is awkward... The week started with 1st day closed a gapped down shooting star/doji alike pattern after testing the 20MA resistance
- The 19, 20 and 23 Jan daily candle now formed a inside candle formation
- Since the major trend is bullish, a 2nd bearish price signal off the 20MA resistance would warrant me to quit this trade.... So I will keep a close eye on this....

- Lesson of the year!!! Exit trade before rate or policy announcement....
- Because of greed in chasing the potential profit, i was hoping the announcement to be in my favor thus didnt execute my exit rule.(This is same for all my GBP trades)
- For this, i paid the price.... my previous 300pips has now shrinked and i have exit my trade with only 100 pips.
- Yesterday candle closed a bearish engulfing but yet to close above the 50MA support. Could this be the chance to short?? lets see....
