Currently I am trading FOMC with a very very small risk due to the nature of spiking shortly before the release. Maybe I need to adjust the sl even shorter before the event or give the trade a bit more room to breath. I am having more luck with AUD news.

What I am curious about is how the brokers react to the way we trade. Isn't news spike trading regarded as toxic order flow due to the inability of the broker to entirely hedge the position? I would not be surprised if the execution or slippage changes. I am not a long term customer of Oanda but I suppose I will be need to monitor the execution closely. Currently I haven't noticed anything critical and I do not insinuate that they act unlawful but it's an obligation to check if everything is within bounds. It's just part of the business. If anyone is also trading using Oanda I would appreciate if we can compare price feeds during news once in a while. I do log every tick using their Java api so if they ever should cheat we should figure it out quickly.

I ran a lot of statistics using historical data from past events and you can pretty much tag any news with a rr and scale your position accordingly. The actual figure might come unexpected but if you pick the correct news you are guaranteed profitability in the long run. All trades are really predictable. For me this is the best scalping strategy available.

I did a lot of trail and error trading almost all high impact news for the past 3? months using very low risk and finally settled down to roughly 3 or 4 releases a month. If they work out it's all I need.

Coin-flip!!! The best guilt-free decider in the whole universe!!! Don't put so much pressure on yourselves guys! Life is too short for that.

Either way since we were born, it was nothing but a coin-flip all day every day since the 1st second of creation. So why not spend our lives coin-flipping.

But don't forget this ain't your average coin flying ... it's a coin with a golden face and a rusty one too. He he he will will have to close the topic soon my friends because the way to become a millionaire was simpler that many thought but it's not for everyone... I surveyed a couple of people including a female street worker about this coin-flipping thing. I told her heads gives her 100$ and tails makes her lose 5$. She didn't want to play because she said it's stupid and that tails would fall a million times. She must be a very unlucky person. He he he btw way I don't pay street workers or hookers, I just spoke to her cause I was out with friends and we were in a good mood.

I'm guessing it's ok to leave this valuable info in the thread because i'm reassured that those who don't deserve it STILL won't be able to control themselves and use this info properly.... What do you think? should we close the thread some day. Who deserves to know this info out here?

It's not for us to decide how you proceed with the thread. I am thankful that I got reminded of this approach by you and it would be selfish to say you should take it down. People still have to invest some time to figure out what news to trade and which better not to touch.

It is pretty hard to find information about news trading and while the following paper might not directly influence the way we trade I found it educational and interesting:

Every trader is a little different to fit in with their own personal appetites of risk/reward. I'll exit trades differently sometimes, it really depends.

Only you can be comfortable with trading doing what works for you.

NFP in just under an hour to go.
Coin flip time?

Coin flip time?
Yep.

My coin said short on gbp/usd. 20/120. Good luck to us!
There are many wise people, but only a few of them are rich.
Nice short GBP/USD

I went long USD/CAD
Sometimes I believe you can only trade nfp for 30 minutes and take the rest of the month off ....
I won on the NFP today on max leverage on USD/CAD the pair that has given me the most units purchase capacity, on my whole account.

The 17th of November I am celebrating my official "never going back to work". It's an official statement. Gambling seems to be a devil gone too.

Please send me positive vibes and not hate cause if you send me hate, I'll trade it
