GBPUSD trade ideas

GBPUSD ENTRY As I said earlier in the previous post, my trades are based on what is right in front of me I do not force the market to give me what is not there I wait for the whole picture to be clear before I place my orders, there are 2 orders here the first one has been filled already you can join the second and know that once the trade is placed you cannot control the outcome, the market is always right please, you're trading with probabilities. so every placed trade is a losing trade and if the odds are in your favour it will be a winning trade. focus on becoming a good and disciplined trader and stop chasing money.

GBPUSD Sell position SETUP (ACTIVE)We have a SMT model. Whereby price targets buyside liquidity as external range liquidity (PRO trend bearish) and distribute PRO trend. That is our 1st expectation as we enter this trade. Our second one is that IF price break above, we identify our trend as internal bullish as price range would have failed to manipulate enough buy orders to distribute price further downside and we look for the demand that broke structure as our next trading zone Price took our high of week as buyside liquidity PRO TREND BEARISH. As we entered on the BEARISH ORDERBLOCK, our target is the low of week as our next external range liquidity raid. Courtesy of myself and I.

The Wildest Forex Stories You Won’t Believe Actually HappenedIf you think the forex market is all about boring spreadsheets, economic data, and mind-numbing chart patterns, think again. Beneath the surface of the world’s largest financial market lies a treasure trove of jaw-dropping, laugh-out-loud, and occasionally heart-wrenching tales. Some of these stories will make you double-check your stop-losses, while others might tempt you to try your hand at trading—if only for the adrenaline rush. Here’s a whirlwind tour of the forex market’s wildest moments. Spoiler alert: truth really is stranger than fiction. The “Flash Crash” That Shook the Yen Imagine logging into your trading platform, coffee in hand, only to see the yen skyrocket in a matter of minutes. That’s precisely what happened on January 3, 2019, when the USD/JPY pair nosedived by 4% in less than 10 minutes. The culprit? A rare combo of thin holiday liquidity, panicked algorithms, and a trigger-happy market reacting to Apple’s earnings warning . Traders watching the carnage were left rubbing their eyes in disbelief as billions of dollars evaporated faster than you can say “where’s my stop loss.” Some savvy players profited handsomely, while others were left staring at margin calls and wondering if they’d just witnessed a glitch in the Matrix. Lesson learned : Low liquidity markets can be as risky as walking on thin ice. George Soros: The Man Who Made $1 Billion in a Day No list of wild forex stories is complete without the ultimate trading flex: George Soros’s legendary short against the British pound in 1992. Dubbed “Black Wednesday,” this was the day Soros and his Quantum Fund went toe-to-toe with the Bank of England—and won. Convinced by his partner Stanley Druckenmiller that the pound was overvalued and would be forced out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM), Soros bet billions on its decline. The result? A cool $1 billion profit in a single day, a humiliated Bank of England, and Soros’s elevation to trading legend. Lesson learned : Never underestimate the power of conviction—or billions in leverage. The Swiss Franc Tsunami On January 15, 2015, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) shocked the world by unpegging the Swiss franc from the euro . In the blink of an eye, the EUR/CHF pair plummeted as much as 19%, and chaos erupted across the forex market. Brokers went under, traders were wiped out, and even the most seasoned professionals were left scrambling for answers. Lesson learned : Central banks play by their own rules, and when they change the game, expect pandemonium. The Trader Who Bet Against the Euro—and Won Big Meet John Taylor, the founder of currency hedge fund FX Concepts and one of the original forex market wizards. In the early 2000s, Taylor made a name for himself by betting against the euro when everyone else was bullish. Armed with a combination of macroeconomic analysis and a deep understanding of market psychology, he rode the euro’s decline to rack up massive profits. His contrarian approach earned him a reputation as a forex maverick, proving that going against the herd can pay off big—if you’ve done your homework. But not for long. Long story short: FX Concepts got up to $14 billion in assets in 2008 and declared bankruptcy in 2013. Lesson learned : In forex, sometimes the best trades are the ones no one else sees coming. But also—it’s tough to know when to call it quits. The Currency Crash That Inspired a Coup In 1997, the Asian Financial Crisis sent shockwaves through global markets, but few places felt it as acutely as Indonesia. The rupiah lost more than 80% of its value , sparking widespread economic turmoil and political unrest that ultimately led to the resignation of President Suharto after 31 years in power. While most forex traders were focused on the numbers, the crisis served as a stark reminder that currencies aren’t just lines on a chart—they’re the backbone of entire economies. Lesson learned : Forex trading can shape history in ways few other markets can. The Pound’s Post-Brexit Rollercoaster In June 2016, the Brexit referendum sent the British pound on a ride so wild it could rival any theme park attraction. As the "Leave" vote defied polls and pundits, the pound plummeted 10%, hitting levels not seen since the 1980s . Traders who had been banking on a "Remain" victory were left scrambling, while those betting against the pound made a killing. The chaos didn’t stop there. In the months and years that followed, every Brexit-related headline became a market-moving event. Negotiation updates? Pound down. Political drama? Pound down. A tiny glimmer of clarity? Pound up—until the next twist. This wasn’t just a currency reacting to uncertainty; it was a masterclass in how politics can take control of forex markets. Lesson learned : Currencies are deeply tied to national identity and global sentiment. And when politics enters the mix, expect fireworks. What’s Your Wildest Forex Story? The forex market is a place of extremes—extreme risk, extreme reward, and extreme stories that prove truth is stranger than fiction. Have your own wild forex story to share? Maybe you caught the Swiss franc wave or survived a flash crash with your account intact. Drop your tale in the comments and let’s get talking!

GBPUSD - Long SetupMy main trading principle is that the price always moves from swept liquidity levels to untouched liquidity levels. In particular case we clearly can see the following context: price swept 1D key liquidity level and left untouched level higher. Also price swept 1W key liquidity, so the probability for some bullish move higher. But to take more statistically more probable trades we should wait for some time of lower timeframe confirmation. For me the best way to confirm higher timeframe context is structure. We can notice the break of market structure (sign of strength) on key liquidity level with GAP, so there is a higher probability to see price higher at least on opposite level (marked higher). Your success is determined solely by your ability to consistently follow the same principles.
