Gave it a shot using 18 pip SL. Do you find that the pre event spikes clear out your SL at 18 pips?

i dont get this... if the risk reward is always on your side - then you can simply place a trade each way both buy and sell, both with small SL and big TP - then it doesnt matter which way it goes you win correct? if not - then how does the system give you an edge?

only 1 way because you wanna use your full margin capacity... edge comes from the small sl

I dont see how margin has anything to do with it? We are simply talking aboiut winning more than we are loosing.
If the edge comes from the small SL - then if you place a trade "each way" the winner will supposedly win alot more than the loser and you will win no matter which way it goes... based on this logic that is.

In reality, what often happens is the price whipsaws and you get stopped out on both trades

The banks are def the big time players in this game. Usually the price action before the news is a great clue as to what may be about to happen.

If you place 2 trades, each trade will have lower lots or units in it because of your max available margin and lots available for a transaction. If you place one trade you will use max lots capacity.


ex: 100 000 on USD/CAD buy (max available margin) wins 120 pips x 10$ ///// loses 16 x 10$ net projected profit in 2 attempts: 1040$
your ex: 50 000 on USD/CAD buy & 50 000 on USD/CAD sell (max available margin) wins 120 pips x 5$ /////// loses 16 pips 5$ net projected profit in 2 attempts: 520$+520$ = 1040$

comes to the same result

I also thought that when I started trading 15 years ago. There is no consistency in that I could post a hundreds charts of the seconds before news.

Sometimes it follows, somethings it's the complete opposite, sometimes it's whipsaws and complete chaos. Don't trust and pre-news move. There is a lot of volatility and the price can go either way. Use a SL all the time and don't try to predict anything.

When you become unique, you will have HATERS. Remember it.

Your heart will feel it, and then your eyes will see it and then your heart will feel it even more.

But then, karma will catch them back, and if you're lucky like me ... you'll see it and your heart will love it.

We live a very patient but balanced universe.

BTW I'm talking about physical people surrounding me ... not anyone in the forum here.
