My experience with trading these situations is... just follow your original trade plan.

Price wasn't behaving as it was in the last few days. Very whip-sawish/no clear trend on the 1 min chart. I hypothesize that this correlates with trend reversals, though I can't be sure without doing testing.

But in reality I followed by trade plan and tried to go long several times. Didn't work out because of the whipsaw and took some losses (3% total). One of the worst sessions I've had. The great London Open balanced it out though. :)

markets can become irrational at times, especially during news announcements.

 I would agree with you 100%, but they only being irrational when we have expectation to what they should do. Simply look at the formation which I have posted above. No matter what tf you trade, the same formation will appear, although news on the formation above caused the drop, it simply speed-ed up the process in which it occurred.
 Once I am done trading today, I will share some things which hopefully people will take interest to. It is so sicking how forex is mostly about 'Selling EA's' then people trying to profit by themselves. If you can learn how to look for the patters and ONLY trade those patterns, then your account will reflect it.
