Caution on oil. Something fishy is going on. Very violent. Long time didn't see such a violence.

OANDA doesn't offer oil in US. I've never traded it.
I looked at a chart. It gaped and then reversed.
Did you lose money on it?

I didn't lose much. 1 golden rule is to have a tight SL and always respect it. There are some pretty violent winds now and lots of people getting drowned.

Hi Bulltrader. Just catching up on the thread (at page 617 currently) and trying to make sense of the set up.
Are you going to be using something like:

market buy order 2 mins before news with a 16p stop loss, move to BE + 6p asap with a take profit in the region of 50 to 100 pips?

Cheers

Hey BTS

I personally wait till 2 minutes event then wait for a move opposite my bias to try get good potion prior to release. Yip move sl to be ASAP - the initial sl I use is what ever the minimum size IG provides at the time (normally between 10 and 16), as doesn't really matter as my sl will get filled were market wants it if it goes against me (slippage).

My profit targets are wait for 5 minute candle to complete and take profits then use trailing stop.

Hope that helps

Hi there, I'm with IG as well. I've been trading high impact news on an IG demo account for a few months, in a way that's similar to what you guys are doing here. And I've recently opened a real account. It's a "limited risk" account, ie where IG forces you to have a guaranteed stop loss on every trade.

I presume you have the same type of account?

I've tried trading the last GBP interest rate, and to my surprise, they required me to have a 199 pip SL minimum a few minutes prior to the release! Does IG require these kinds of huge SL any time an interest rate is about to come out?

Do they have other restrictions I'm not aware of? Do they allow you to trigger a trade shortly after the interest rates releases?

I'd be glad to hear your feedback.

Hey penguin

Yeah thats the problem with the guaranteed sl at IG it goes up to 190 pips 5 minutes prior (I think) all high impact news and stays like that minute or 2 after. I have standard account and once straddled (bought and sold) prior to Eur rate release. they honored the loser at around 40 pips - this was when they shock change to the rates too. Think when they unpegged the EURCHF it would of been different story

Cheers
