(binned per thread starter's request) News Trading - The Summer

We had some high volatility during the GBP GDP release in the early London section. Although the number turned out to be better than expected, but it failed to impress the market and give no sight on the outlook on the Brexit. So the price took a U-Turn and formed another leg down towards the 1.2000 level.

During the process, two positions I took got hit by my SLs and suffered a total 20% DD. The DD was larger than I expected and not too happy about how I execute the risk management there especially when I am trading the news section using all of my margins.

But the game is not over yet, tomorrow I will be participating in trading the USD GDP release.
Betting Long on the dollar if the number turns out to be good.

This week ended with a 21% drawdown. Failed execution on the GBP GDP release was quite damaging. However, we managed to pull back some lost in the very last trade on USDJPY and its GDP release with a 6.5% gain.

Next week although we have a lot major number release on the tap, I'd be selective on what I would trade.

Later I will post next week schedule as usual.

Week 10/30/16
I will be participating below news release next week.

I will be looking at the major pairs especially the USDJPY and it's 103.00 level.

I had a chance to put up a trade on the November NFP release yesterday, and It worked out just as planned.

I have also made a trade review via. Youtube. It's pretty cool to have my trades document w/ good music that goes w/ the price pace, so more video will be made in the future, I hope.

For now, let's enjoy what we have here=)
