Long Term Trade Plan (GBP/USD)

417
The GBP/USD is testing the 1.2550 resistance level.

As the economic data (such as inflation data) in the UK has been improving, even with talk of potential increase in bank rates, anticipation is a stronger Pound.

Paired with the current sentiment for a weaker USD, signalled by President Trump.

Therefore, I would take a long position ONLY IF the GBP/USD is able to break through and close strongly above that resistance.
Note
Price still unable to break strongly above the resistance level indicated
Still monitoring this potential trade
Order cancelled
Trade idea cancelled, due to sudden news from UK PM making a statement at Downing Street
Trade active
PM May declared to seek UK election on June 8th

Following the initial drop in the GBP, now i see the potential for a strong break above the resistance level initially identified.

Trade idea back on
Trade closed: target reached
This trade idea illustrated the importance of having a rule based trade plan.

Price reacted brilliantly to the announcement of a UK election on June 8th
Target profit reached, 125pips
