Hi Bulltrader,

Yes - good call on the NFP / CAD employment options. I will be doing the same as you for those events.

Some advice guys - still in Aussie trade. Do you think I should close it before NFP or ride it out....? It wont make its 80 pip target at this rate ahead of NFP... and I'm looking for a weaker USD... so would be against Aussie trade...

Not that I'd really know but I'd reckon on closing out 'that' trade and Reset yourself for another (possible) trade.

I would be banking those pips if it was me mate, too much risk staying open during NFP. Could wipe out all of your profit in a few seconds. Of course it could go the other direction and you reach your target but I think that would just be gambling. Just my opinion though.

yeah hope you didn't trade it Bulltrader - CAD/JPY cost me a stop out - but no slippage so all good.

BE on cable as it pulled back.

Overall a pretty average NFP.

Interesting story with OANDA live account.
I guessed wrong on NFP.
I made a short trade 3 seconds before the release with a 16 pip SL.

It went the wrong way on the release. I watched it and I was down about 40 pips before the SL kicked in. Big slippage.
BUT
A second later it posted to my account, OANDA had corrected it and finally my loss was 19 pips- a total of 3 pips slippage.

Hey Tony,

Do you use other trading "strategy" like technical analysis or candlestick patterns S/R, etc.... or do you only use this news trading method?
