DislikedNice work!! How did you know to go short...? Insider trading? haha or did you simply stop order into both directions, which I assume you did. I caught that as well, but I set a 20 pip tp since the last few announcements had been lack luster, just wanted to secure something, nekk minute, although USDJPY is the type of currencies that never looks back when it has its move. Plus, the daily charts suggest its going further. So great trading. Also is your account real or a demo?Ignored
Disliked{quote} Thanks H. Nope working on previous price action prior to the release to determine a more likely outcome for news and there fore not needing the straddle type strat - which dramatically increases chance of big losses.

DislikedNot really any profit targets, its just most of the time, for this articular news event, there was only a 20 pip move. so I was hoping to catch the the last 10 pips, okay I said I wouldn't put an early tp next time but I can't remember why. I think it was because of the daily trend. Was the ISM a highly important news event?Ignored

DislikedThat is the longest whip Ive seen on this news announcements, like 22 pips seriously wow. I mean if it were a huge announcement I would be okay. I didn't straddle this, i bought on the low of the 28th minute and the high of the 29th minute, felt nervous so I moved the stop losses to breakeven, and then I laughed at how fucked up the graph looked. I guess I was right in that it would continue whichever direction for 5 minutes, but I did not expect such a huge whiplash. How did you get a sell signal do you mind if I know? Are you getting access to...Ignored
