GBPAUD Long - Multiple Positions
So I feel the introduction of Financial Source as a service is really putting forex/macro trading in perspective.
Why am I in this trade?
So following BOE and comments by speakers the GBP is Strong Bullish.
The Financial Source Fundamental Drivers has this as bullish.
Conversely AUD is reported as Weak Bullish.
Not a great pair to match, but overall GBP strength is stronger.
My entry was back into support, it took 5 days to hit initial target (without me in it!) and then return to me entry.

Major Concern with this is that I had multiple pending orders in correlated pairs, i,e that are paired with GBP.
I am also Long in GBPJPY and short EURGBP. All entered on pending orders due to large drop of GBP yesterdays session. Just starting to document these now, so will review others and look at moving some stops up to breakeven to reduce risk.

TD Securities Report suggest short of GBPAUD just published.
They are saying that they feel that with risks of "3rd Wave" of cocid starting to build, that the priced in UK vaccine optimism maybe priced too high.
There trade recommendation is Short at 1.8333, TP 1.8060 and SL 1.8560.
This would seem to be a longer term trade, GBPAUD is at 1.8300 at moment, 30 pips from their entry.

Given risk on my account with these correlated trades of 5.06%, I am movinf the one to break even, as hoping for support to kick in at 1.8320 if retracing.
This will move my risk from 5.06% - 1.32% = 3.74%.
GBP also got leg up due to better than expected composite and services PMI.

Moved SL upto 1.83491 to lock in profit.
Very close to TP, tempted to move remaining TP up higher only 9 pips off it, but stick to the plan.
