Thanks for the list! Where you have 2 events at the same time, like CAD Employment Change and USD Non-Farm Employment Change, will you enter 2 trades on 2 different pairs?

How do you know which red news to trade?
Hey Tony, how do you choose which way to enter the trade before the event? Based on PA or an educated assumption based on historical data of previous releases as per usual outcomes?

I remember I really nailed GBP Policy and NFP with over 120 pips each. Other ones were mostly fails. It was a very successful week.

Even after in-dept analysis it's impossible to know what direction to enter. You can have an edge with a tight SL or if you have access to leaked data.

Perfect, thanks for the update. I'm sitting out on the Central Bank speeches at the moment as I find them a little hard to trade. Thanks for the list.

Still not clear to me if you straddle or coin flip (or both). Can you please clarify?

Thankx

Coin flip. I tried a new broker but they slip my orders too much. I'm not going to use them for major news. Only advantage, lots of leverage. Nothing else.

{quote} Welcome Let me know how you did. Only trade the most preferential news.
Hi tony
i have tried oanda broker and while trading in one of the preferential news so pending orders was set 5 second before news release setting sl to 20 pip the problem is the Position keep losing immediately after it open can't understand why the slippages is law but the trade keep hiting sl while the price did not actual went long and come out as a strong short trade your logic is the same as my logic been it using it for a long period now and it's perfect the only thing u have to make sure to enter the trade without any surprises like the one I have mentioned earlier which I can't understand why it happens in other broker it goes just fine sometimes cause after entering the trade gradding 100 to 150 would be very easy after setting sl to breakeven do u think removing sl would be a good idea it my be suicidal but for grabbing 150 pip might be worth it and the end waiting for your reply asap
Thank you

Went long on both, stopped out for -20 on both. Might hold off trading until NFP comes around.

What about this week news? How do I select which one's are movers and which one's to discard?

Hi Tony, just thinking why not using two brokers like Oanda and forex com. I could put a buy order with 20 points sl in oanda and a sell order with 29 points sl in forex com. Both one or two minutes before. Do you think this work? Or I am missing something? Maybe you guys that are more time in this thread have an answer or experience with this?
Thanks.
