well I wouldnt blame yellen for this one mate. Please guys dont trade during macro events. Yellen is the head of FED! It is extremely risky to trade when she is on.
I know today has been a boring day, but better boring day than a losing day.
Yes, it seems all the levels are spent (except the EURUSD shorts that are way away now).

More chances tomorrow and bank preserved.

Dale...you are spot on! Entries and exits are the EASY part of trading.....discipline and emotional control are the hardest parts.

I would recommend that almost everyone on this thread should be using Sevans EA for entry and trade management. It really is the answer to all of these types of problems.....It WONT trade during RED news......it WONT trade once an area is tested according to the user defined criteria....etc etc.....Just set it up and let it go

Just my .02 but these are areas we all have to conquer....I just did it many years ago is all....I dont fight myself, the markets are hard enough already

Many pips
Plan, Prepare, Execute, Repeat

you are correct dale. I was driving outside and didnt manage to cancel the limit orders. Did anyone trigger any orders using seven's EA?

I see that AUD has been triggered because it is after 30 mins and it's a loss?

Eish, I'm late my limit orders hit SLs. I was driving... That's why we have SL, to protect our accounts
I guess its time to walk my dogs!

UJ's were triggered during Yellen's speech. UC and AU were hit after the news, when price went back to normal. No spikes. But these two were correlated and hit at the same time, I'd count it as only one loss, since in these situations it'd be smart to use half of the position.

Since the volatility didnt really subside there should be no trade at all. There was also a strong fundamental factor driving the move - one more reason not to trade against this crazy move.

When would you say that the volatility subsides? (I mean in these type of macro events. From what I see there were no crazy pip moves after the speech)
So what trade is triggered now?

You are correct this is a bit different than spike. I would say that if there is a strong macro event and the market just runs one way with no correction it is the case. i have no hard rules to recognise when this move ended and when it is safe to trade again...i can provide you with my thoughts of todays situation:
1. I see there is strong macro that can change the course of markets (yellen speech) - so I know that if a market will run strong without a correction to one side i wont trade.
2. even though there was no spike move hitting my levels the move was still strong and advancing (
3. Now i would say the volatility subsided because there are 30m candles of normal volatility already formed and there is a greeen (counter trend) candle in eur/usd- this means there are some buyers or sellers are getting rid of their positions. This probably means that volatility caused by this macro event is over and it is safe to trade intraday trades again.
