Phuket? Seychelles? Hawaii? Don't blame you at all - enjoy your holiday!

Must say I like trading the DAX although I didn't trade it yesterday, was concentrating on CAD but what is great about trading index is no commission and very low risk!

{quote} 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

Yes I'm going ahead with that plan next week. Very little downside especially with the account balances that I play with! Witha $40 balance one can use 1 mini-lot ($1 a pip) and on a good news break (like the CAD one yesterday) 80 pips is quite achievable which would actually treble the balance. One could then bank the $80 profit and start all over again

With the Tickmill account you can get 500:1 and also they have negative balance protection which is vital of course if the trade goes against. I am not punting Tickmill though because I have a lot of gripes against them (I think they often take the opposite side of the trade), however is there a perfect forex broker out there? I doubt it

Thank you

Unfortunately I don't have your patience or the ability to handle the occasional hefty drawdown! At least with all or nothing one knows where one stands within a few seconds!!

As a matter of interest are you allowed 500:1 leveraged accounts if you live in Singapore? I know that in the US the maximum is 100:1

Hi JM,

In this part of the world, we can get brokers that allow up to 500:1 leverage. But personally I don't set such a high leverage as it is too risky for me.

Myself use 50:1. But to each his own, whatever suits your personality. Since you are trading in lower time frame, you already have margin call as stop loss in that plan. So it's alright

Yes, mixed picture

I traded the news and picked up 15 pips on GA - no brainer that GDP would be down - but I forgot to open up that second account so only traded a micro-lot!

Anyone else trade the news?

Do you trade right at the release? I haven't found the right broker for that yet but i trade the reaction ~10-15min after

No problem with my broker - spread stays OK until a few seconds before the news break.

Yes I trade the release - obviously it's a gamble which is why we were discussing the strategy above. Because I had not opened the news trading account yet, I had to trade micro-lot.

Have to say though that this morning's GDP release was a bit of a damp squib

the sale was taken because of impulse wave down and yesterday's low was broken.
if the mind remained focus on m1 rr 1:1.5 it may turn out fine. there were even more than 3 chances of break even.
finally the loss was taken when price remain above day open.

however if one were to look at h4, there was no signal candle to sell. so this may be a good filter for scalping.
