I reached this conclusion myself but my short position is basically stuck at break even though. Some good data came out of the US last night but the market is stuck in a bit of a range and maybe it's just people being cautious if Trump says something bad. Fundamentally, I think the GBP/USD should be under pressure though but people have gotten caught up in Trump saying the US dollar is too high. I am a little worried about volatility over the inauguration though but I also figure the inauguration is an expected event unlike the election and maybe trump says something silly but that shouldn't cause a knee jerk move upwards so high that it would stop me out. He would have to do something really stupid for me to get stopped out by intra-day volatility. The whole idea of not being a day trader is large intra-day moves should be inconsequential or at worst unfortunate but manageable, but we live in interesting times.
