{quote} Did you flip the coin? It seems your are allways on the right side of the move. So i was wondering if you have 2 accounts with dif positions

I'm not always on the right side. Sometimes, I get a long winning streak or losing streak

I had a long position, but it whipsawed down 21 pips first, and stopped me out.
Lost 18 pips.

It will happen. That's why I like news with numbers. e.g. NFP or CPI has a lower chance to whipsaw. This news out here can be very confusing for traders.

Might take it out of the list soon.


Crude oil coming in 20 minutes.

i went short on CAD also at 2682. It moved down 40 odd pips and started reversing. Managed to get my stop to nearly break even. So only lost 3 pips. will take that as a break even

Just took a first trade and stopped out for -27 (SL was set to 18). Does the whipsaw happen quite often with your Trades Tony?

aahh yes. I use good old MT4 and so can just grab my auto generated SL on the chart and move it. I would have left it alone but as trade when into profit 40+ pips felt it was far enough to move to BE. Just did it in time.

The irony here is going long I'd have been stopped out for a full loss - even though this was the main price action movement.... nothing like a good whipsaw on this type of release. Keep to the direct numbers releases for sure....

Whipsaws happen when the news provides mixed information. For example the rate was unchanged but traders were trying to see if the news is still good or bad and it created the whipsaw. -27 pips SL is not the best performance. Look at my chart above, I didn't get slipped.

We might have to take out FOMC and interest rate news from the list.

Weekly I'm posting the news to trade but that is the reason I kept post no. 1 with only 2 news events. The cream of the crop. NFP and CAD CPI rarely whipsaw.

I'm getting prepared for the oil news.
