Unexpected GBP Interest Rate Rise and ECB
There was about a 30% chance of a rate rise, but no one was expecting and I had a feeling so I prepared to buy in case they really did it. Got everything ready saw a buy signal 2 secs early then Oanda bloody froze at 8735 next entry was 8799 and I didnt take it it (because i thought that was the end of the move, I have done this before I get an opening late and dont take it cause im scared its already over, so I need to know how much each trade can move from now on) got to 8840 before it retraced a bit (had i known total move could of again got in) And then it went to 8910. Stupid stupid stupid on any unexpected rate rise its going to go up 100-200 pips just get in anytime!!
Euro rate rise came out as expected didnt move had a 1hr delayed reaction jumped up and then got in a good short didnt hold long enough though..
Really annoyed atmyself for the freeze still not sure if it was Oanda or my Pc. need to get a better PC, spending $3k on a good pc would have made me $12k on that trade!
Lesson: Close all other windows and fix news layout. Turn off other pc in house. IR cange will move 100-200 so get in anytime.
