First of all, sorry for my English, it is not my mother language.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>
I started straddling the news around two month and a half ago with FXCM. I made money and I had no problems with stops and limits. But now I see that they don’t let me trade any <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">US</st1lace></st1:country-region> announcement because they freeze the platform around 5 o 15 minutes before the release, and sometimes the execution is not as fast as it was at first when I started to trade. So I’m thinking about to focus my trade in the minor news, (<st1lace w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">UK</st1:country-region></st1lace>, CAD and some AUS) when the platform is ok to do that. <o></o>
As you said; when you start to make money they change the originals condition that let you trade profitably. But I wondered why they do that? <o></o>
I calculate that if you risk 5 per cent of you equity in each trade and you get only 15 pips per week you can make around 30 per cent monthly. The big question for me is; It is possible due to the limitations of the frozen platform?<o></o>

I’ll appreciate any piece of advice from you.<o></o>
