18 April; Theresa May……….FRONT AND CENTRE

One of the more significant speeches to be made by Theresa May after triggering Article 50.

So I decided to place a straddle just before the speech with the following details: –

Stop If Offered at 1.2538, Spot at 1.2568, Stop if Bid at 1.2590

After Theresa May announced a possible snap election in June, the GBPUSD started getting bidded.

I followed the spot trade till about 9:25pm and decided to square the position at 1.2725 (high was 1.2745) for a trading profit of 135bps.

Thank you Theresa!!!

 

First trade for 2017; Theresa May

Tonight, Theresa May is addressing the nation on how she is going to implement Brexit.

She mentioned that the Government will put the final Brexit deal to a vote in both houses of parliament.

Does this mean that there is a possibility of a repeal in the Brexit?

Market seems to like what is it hearing from Theresa May.

I decided to place a straddle when her speech started with the following details: –

GBPUSD: Stop if Offered at 1.2120 (SL 1.2140), Spot at 1.2158, Stop if Bid at 1.2175 (SL1.2145)

My Bid was triggered and I rode it up till I squared the position at 1.2325 (High was 1.2346) for a trading profit of 150bps!!!

Thank you Theresa May and what a trade to start the Year of the Rooster!!!
