June Trade # 6 - BUY GBP/USD

June 3, 2009 4:30 pm (Manila)

Bought GBP/USD @ 1.6622. Reason is that UK Services PMI came out better that expected (zooming past 50). I believe this should be bullish fo the Pound. However, right after I entered, the pair shot to breakeven and then dropped like a rock. Within a few minutes, this trade got stopped-out at -76 pips/lot for a total of -152 pips.

What gives?

Well, there are going to be days when the market will behave like a mad bull. This may be one of them.

I'm packing my bags for the day. Looking forward for tomorrow.
