USD, CAD, some cable news, and oil. Seem to be the best to trade currently. I also trade news releases for AUD and NZD with the long term trend - but use bigger stops and looking for a boost into the trade off of the news result. With a bigger stop ...

I trade NFP, CAD Employment, Oil (Brent), sometimes AUD Employment, sometimes USD Retail Sales. The 'sometimes' is because I am looking for a decent difference between Previous and Forecast. Wouldn't touch GBP Claimant count. So maybe you do ~8 news ...

I always build a bit of slippage expectation into each trade. Some give no slippage when on the wrong side - others give a bit more (~maybe 10 - 20 pips) so I just keep a rough average position noted on slippage. I also get positive slippage when ...

Piphunter, one pair traded usually and: 1/ Choose to go with the direction of forecast (you might get a slightly better than even win rate over a decent period of time???) 2/ Choose to go against forecast direction (gives you bigger wins through ...

For NFP/ CAD Employment - went Long USD/JPY and lost out. Also went long CAD/JPY and in the money Overall going well.

Happy New Year to all. I'm waiting for NFP - looking to go long on the dollar. FOMC can be quite volatile initially.

Nice trades on both US CPI and Oil... but wasn't around for either You still in your oil trade Ang...?

Loss for me too. Onto next week.

I'm happy - I got the full profit on the CAD employment earlier. But can't resist NFP. Keen to trade it as the r:r to good to miss the chance of a clean profit.... (or 18 pips loss with a little slippage thrown in!)

Short also for CAD rate - sure did suck

Went short on CAD employment... nice trade. (USD/CAD) Working towards target.

Yep - BE for Crude. Looking at CAD employment for last trade of the week. November been a profitable month but not as good as October. But I'll take it

Yes I got in long - stumbled out of bed put the trade on and went back to sleep. Closed one position this morning (my time in NZ) for 37 pips. Left one open and at BE. Lets see if it gets going!!

Same. Lucky last trade for a quiet week

Went long NZ/USD for kiwi retail sales. Closed out of trade as no real movement and result was for a move short. Recording this trade as BE.

Went long Cable - out for -2 pips also. Will miss crude this week - back for NZ Retail Sales

Yep - probably 50% of us are going backwards for pips over last couple of weeks (and 50% are making a buck). law of averages. The distinction is that the long term winners are those that make it to a decent monthly (yearly) r:r cause we're all going ...

Went short and hit SL. Took reverse trade to recover. So BE over all for this one

Whipsawed on AUD with poor jobs but better overall employment. Stopped on -22 (so 4 pips slippage). (And news was leaked in pre-release...) On to cable retail sales... Down 38 pips for week so far. Still comfortably up for the month. Looking for a ...

US CPI was a BE on UJ and took a stop on Oil long
