{quote} I think everyone agrees with that. It goes without saying. I have never seen a news event that fit that description what wasn't listed on the FF calendar. I humbly suggest that is where Teamaker schedule his trades from. The non moving events sometimes move just enough to trigger trades that fall back to the SL.
Point taken. Will try to get exiting event list aligned with FF calendar from next week.

Thank you. I think that will give us fewer losers.
I'm attaching a pdf that lists the most volatile news events and how much movement you can expect from them.
I've found it pretty accurate. Use it only if you agree with it and find it helpful.
Thanks

I suppose I had assumed the personalised calendar was a significant factor in the impressive results and would have thought 6%/month should be enough for anybody. But if using the FF calendar improves on this figure, that will be excellent. I'll be sitting it out until there is some historical P&L to prove it one way or another, however. I am a huge fan of controlled testing and learnt a long time ago never to trust 'gut feel'.

They would have to have widened the spread a bunch. If they did that, I would change brokers. That was a solid news event it should have had plenty of liquidity.

i would say give them some more chance / time . I have a live account with Global Prime and they are usually very good with fills, spreads and general execution.

why not open the trade before the event if the price action is positive?

Just my thought!
