Trading the Great British Pound
Understanding the psychology of some of the most phenomenal traders and successful hedge-fund managers who have been able to catch the top and bottom of markets, the first man who comes to any trader’s mind when you hear the word Cable, Pound or Sterling, is George Soros. He shorted the Pound and made a billion Dollars!
Financial Traders are back and liquidity should be back to normality this week. As a rule of thumb, traders take the last week of July and the first two weeks of August off. Let the games begin
First of all, our deepest condolences to anyone that has been affected by the Barcelona terrorist attacks and the vile protests in Virginia. The last two years have been the most unpredictable and state severity years for the last decade. Take care of your family. Family always comes first.

PLATINUM TRADING PLAN FOR THE 700 PIPS TRADE:
FUNDAMENTAL VIEW:
Platinum Analysts are Bearish on cable due to the increasing instability in the economy and the underlying woes of Brexit. We have also had comments in the previous week of a slowdown in the economy over the coming months. In short, instability causes the inflow of cash in the country to decrease and when this happens, you must expect small and medium businesses to suffer. Hence the reason for a Bearish view on Cable from a fundamental point of view. I thought the situation back in 2008 was bad, but what can I say? We are now in a worse situation than ever before with the UK. Government debt sitting at £8.6 Trillion. The personal debt is sitting at around £1.8 Trillion and that is a figure which is hard enough to get over.
Eventually, the government is going to have to cut spending and without increasing taxation and interest rates, I do not personally see a way out except another round of quantitative easing and this would be disastrous for the Pound. These are fundamental views and we want to be able to teach traders how to make the most of the market place. Hence the reason for a Bearish view on Cable from a fundamental point of view.

TECHNICAL VIEW:
If you are a new trader and not know how to read charts, do not worry! Just email one of our traders and they will assist you in explaining the actual analysis.
From the chart, it is clear we have now capped @ 1.3260 and we have a beautiful shorting level at 1.3040 as this will be the completion of a Head and Shoulders Pattern. If this pattern plays out according to our analysis, this could make you more than 700 pips on the Pound. We should also remember that 1.3040 was the double top we saw earlier on in the year as well. From market rumors, we are also seeing 4 major banks on a selling spree on cable at these levels.
RISK REWARD RATIO:
If you risk 40 pips you can gain 700 pips. A fantastic risk to reward ratio.
KEY TECHNICAL LEVELS:
