do not remember such a nice spike in ages. wish there were more of these

had my straddle strategy active. For important news events I like to have hanging orders in both directions or see if i can judge the market right and enter straight away on any big surprise.

booked some quick and dirty profits on the GBPUSD spike. Now let's see if GBPUSD will continue to be trading up.

What is your strategy for this event?

relying too much on correlation is dangerous. Be more flexible

next week will be fun! 14 events I consider tradable

I am still holding short with stops at break even. If this runs, I will let it run

+100 pips in less than 30 minutes, kinda efficient

USDJPY topping out at the 112s... not interested in any longs here, positions closed from New Home Sales and Consumer Confidence.

US New Home Sales in a few minutes. Going to buy or sell any deviation >40 from economist forecasts. Find it pretty probable that USDJPY can retrace back to the 112.00 area before continuing further down. Let's see. I am pretty flexible on this one.

Waiting how the spike will be digested. We had a buy signal on USDCAD today. Waiting for the release of further Canadian data in order to enter short.
