I move mi stop loss below those lows(red circle)
If price come to the green circle and give a nice OP i will look for longs... u know the invalidation level...
Tp new highs of the day and probably 1.835
Breaking the lows and goin back inside the trend line completly invalidate my idea of longs...

I'm beginning to think that trading the news is the way to go. It's a bit of a lottery I know but it's the only time they can't f....k you around!!!

playing the news can be a strategy. one can use the margin call as stop loss.

What I watch for is if there is a "leak" - one can almost always see it in the way the PA is moving in the minutes and seconds before the break. Of course it's not always the case but if one ignores the 50/50 situations the odds are stacked in your favour

Hi Jmtini,

Not to discourage you but, depending on news trades is probably one of the riskiest ways to trade, it can indeed be a lottery as you said. Also there is a big chance that your SL will get slipped by enormous amounts of pips if you get caught on the wrong side. ( this is very common and not the brokers fault )

There may also be big spikes that take you out before it runs the way you had anticipated. The trade that has now doubled your account may sooner or later wipe out your account.

This is just a friendly heads up, best of luck on how you wish to trade ofcourse!

Yes so true JvD3 - that's why I chicken out most of the time!

However this guy seems to win consistently and only trades the news (don't know how he does it though, that's the problem!) :

totally agree.
just for information, there are those with 2 accounts to mitigate the risk. for example:
One is the main account with $10k.
if one decides to risk 1% for the news, he will transfer $100 to account 2.
and play the account 2 using it's margin call as stop loss.
never tried it. do not know whether it works or not.

That's an excellent idea!

If one has an account with 500:1 leverage you can still trade with a fairly nice lot size on the small account

That seems to be a good alternative for news traders, have a seperate account where you play the news, ideally with a broker that allows good leverage and has negative balance protection. This way you can play relatively safe
