GBP indecision time

GBP is stuck in a narrow range despite any news. The NFPs have produced more movement in other less volatile pairs, while pound has barely reacted to the news.

US elections closing in

With US elections closing in, I plan my strategy for trading
Here are my thoughts on the matter:

- There are so much prominent television figures opposing Trump, that most Americans will refrain/not dare to vote for him,
in fear of feeling stupidand/or rejected by society - people are being subtly brainwashed into voting Clinton
- The current (popular) president Obama supports Hilary Clinton, as do most world leaders
