GBP/USD - Post election
I found an area of interest with a engulfing candlestick that met my criteria.
The distance (gap) between the body and the support was 179pips; I divided this by 3 as the engulfing candlestick was 3 times the size of the previous candlestick.
My stop order was therefore 59pips below the next candlestick (1.3099). My target was 1% above the candlestick price (1.3304).
A more aggressive strategy would have reaped better rewards.

after the election, prices soar and smash the resistance line. However soon decrease as the reality of the things settle down and prices decrease and then begin to stabilise w/b 16th.
