News trading discussion - continuation

There whas lot of mixed signals in this event , very tricky looks to me ?

Great weekend to everyone.

I've been trading two pairs that are inversely correlated during news events.

I simply buy the breakout of the most immediate level found on the 1 minute chart for both pairs. Each have a 3 pip stop and a 9 pip take profit.

This risk/reward set up means that you only need 1 trade to tp in order to make up for 3 losses. 9 pips isn't much and is doable for most pairs. I routinely trade EU and UJ during every high impact news event using this method.

In some cases, I've profited on both instruments during the same news event due to false breakouts pushing out.

Most trades are closed within a few minutes to an hour of the news event.

excellent thank you

Thoughts on "smart traders"

In the trade room we discussed improving execution on MT4 platforms by locating the server nearest to the location from which you trade. By clicking on the numbers in the lower right corner of your platform (xxx/x kb) next to the "connection" symbol, you can see (in many cases) the various servers available for you to trade on. These are randomly assigned to balance the load as you sign in to your dealing station, but you have the option to change them. It is desirable to choose the server closest to your physical location. Jason (investment) in our trade room has provided the means for us to track these servers by IP address so that we may ping them individually to see which is the most optimal server for us to trade on. I can confirm that it works. Here are the instructions:

Make sure the Only window/program you have open is the one you want to find the IP for, it's just easier.
If using windows
CLick on start and then RUN (you may have to find it in accessories or just click on 'command prompt' if it's there)
when RUN window is open, type CMD and click ok
type NETSTAT -N and hit enter
you should see only a couple or just 1 foreign IP address.

go there and type in IP(s) and find out more info on that server(s). Find the one that is your broker.
you can now type PING and that IP address (don't include : or digits after)
it will show you the average time if it is able to ping that IP

Once you find the optimal server, make a note of it and change it each time you log in.
