No. It was refunded within a minute or so. It had to have been a computer that did it. A human wouldn't have had time to do it.

Okay guys thinking about trading the CAD retail sales tomorrow and US GDP Friday. What pairs do y'all recommend? I was thinking long USD/CAD for both with a 17sl and 80TP for retail sales sense important US data will be coming Friday would it be better to trade EUR/CAD? Also has anyone ever looking into volatility at the end of the month? I was trading USD/CAD news a few months ago and noticed an extreme take profits I think driven by it being the last Friday of the month possibly? Do y'all ever hold trades over the weekend or cash out Friday afternoon?

{quote} If they do it again, it could wipe you out. Oanda slipped me about 30 or 40 pips on my SL once. I watched it happen and saw the loss register on my account. Within less than a minute, they corrected it and returned my money. I never figured out what happened and it only happened once.
Thanks for your thoughts billbss.so What broker you recommend trade on news.Looks like all brokers do same thing.

I don't know any I would recommend. I got shafted today by Oanda widening the spread before the news and lost a winning trade.
I'm out of the news business.

1 lost and you are out? Are you over leveraging?

Hi billbss! How long does the spread widening lasts at Oanda? If it is just a few seconds, is it not better if you enter after the widening is over? (OK, I know this is against Tony's rule - but at least theoretically!)

Or maybe a broker change would solve the problem: I was with Forex.com on the FOREXTrader platform and if I am correct, they did not widen spreads at news time.

I don't know. I had the ask line displayed on my chart and I never saw the widening. It appears like they can stop you out at will and claim a widened spread as the culprit.

I'll look into Forex.com- thanks.

Cad CPI came out with Advance GDP. Result: whipsaw.

Recently, major news haven't done well. Retraced or whipsawed.

I am looking into that. What has been doing well is screen monitoring. This week there were at least 3 events that could be caught for astronomical profits.

How much more confusing can it be? This is a real money loser and FOMC has a tendency to do that so we will eliminate it!
Unchanged rates do the exact same thing.


yess... I mus admit that in some rare occasions, unchanged interest rates still generate a very clear, one-direction candle ... sometimes... but calculating on the number of occasions on the long term gives you a negative edge..

We have to eliminate the crap and only trade the cream of the crop!

When you make more than 17k$ in 5 minutes.... it is the day in the life of a millionaire.

for the new ones that started, if you are disciplined, there will be:

-no more self questioning about what restaurant you will eat at
-no more couponing
-no more price tags checking
-no more selling stuff on online
-no more reward points cards
-no more regret you bought something expensive
-no more cheap
-no more gas price checking
-no more worries being stuck in traffic
-more trips
-more cars
-more homes
-more lawsuits
-more haters

For the next news posting in the beginning of every week, I pledge and promise to select only the CREAM OF THE CROP from the news list. We will eliminate a bunch of headache, whipsawing lame news, like FOMC, interest rate news which hold a 90% chance of small volatility or whipsaws or both!!

Guys, this will be a big milestone here and we will feel a big weight off our back!!! Congrats to the ones that survived to see this!

yes, NFP is a keeper
