A Great R/R on GBP/USD Short...

Short

OANDA:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
A risky play here as GBP/USD rejects and falls back under 1.2667. There are two important highlights about taking a short here:

1) Price is still in an uptrend, so sizing must be small because it is risky to go short without confirmation.

2) That said, the potential reward is MASSIVE - considering a final TP around 1.07 you have a R/R of 17:1

A $100 risk would net you $1,700

Comment:
Since being stopped out I have flipped long and momentum appears to be picking up. I was not able to make a post about this as I was on vacation.

It's not about the money made. It's about the freedom created.
