The Actual window was great Merlin...used it right over my platform.

Hey-here's a question for everyone who may have straddled or played it like I did-did u all get filled perfectly? I've noticed that when I get filled with DB, my friend gets filled with forex.com...anyone else?

I did with forex.com too~

Cool 35 PIPS from AUD/NZD .. this pair is with more spread but moves much better than NZD/USD .

But i think they've moved the same with this news !!

Well .. It's fine after all .

Good Bye guys

NZDUSD made about 40 pips move less 5 pip spread = 35 pips.
AUDNZD madeabout 74 pips move less 10 pip spread = 64 pips.

1 pip AUDNZD = $0.66
1 pip NZDUSD = $1.00
35 pips NZDUSD = $35
64 pips AUDNZD = $42

It appears indeed that AUDNZD is the better trade:
1. More $$ profits
2. More pip movement = better chance of profit

I used 2 brokers on this trade. I trade live.

FXCM entry buy order...no slippage... entered at 6603 took +17 pips

FXsol entry buy order was set at 6608 because of widened market...filled at 6610. 3 lots @ +18 pips and 2 lots @ +11 pips because it stalled and I just closed the last 2 lots out.

All in all a very good trade.

I am also demoing a news trading platform and got filled with a market order @ 6604 and took +21 pips with it

Just for everyones information.

Do you mean that DB and forex.com did not slip you? Have you been filled right at your entry stop price?

Also DB is like dbfx.com right?

you didnt use the new actual delivery system? you should have seen a little link in the actual slot that brings you to a popup window. this popup will deliver in close to realtime.
Merlin, is it possible to share the source of your news?
I wonder if you have bloomberg or reuters terminal with programming interfaces linked to this popup window

Check out tradethenews. They are advertised on this site more than the ones you just refered. But the question is, what is your purpose when it comes to trading news? Is it you want to be in the elusive 'get in before the spike' traders? Or do you want to trade the news when the numbers comes in and think about it. I personally think that getting in before the spike is virtually impossible, unless you have a program that buys/sells when the news comes out.

To sum up, look at tradethenews, they are good for small traders, unless you want to dish out 700-1700 for news per month and have 2 year contracts.

I'd agree with hunter, TradeTheNews is good enough for general purpose news trading EXCEPT beating the spike.

TradeTheNews does not give you 1,2 seconds ahead of the news. But they do inform you of what is going on most of the time.

I prefer having a news service to advice me of events rather than beating the crap guessing "why did GBPUSD move 30 pips down just a minute ago? CRAP its moving again... now moved 40 pips more! whats going on?"

I already have trade the news with audio support.
And certainly I'm not hoping to get-in before the news, at least not with the tools which I have.
I must say that getting in before the spike is not impossible but you must have the right gear for that, hedge funds do it and they have millions to spend on state of the art communications and technology.

TTN does not have a programmable interface to link news numbers into automated applications like Merlin's news box. I don't think Merlin is manually filling-in the information as it's heard on TTN, he better go trade instead

If merlin is using bb/reuters to automate the delivery of these figures then I suggest that he not quote on a public forum that he is doing so as he will be in direct breach of their contracts which state that any data sent to a bloomberg terminal, fixed or roaming cannot leave that specific terminal. Be warned, bb in particular takes this very seriously as they have been ramping up their login process to prevent multiple users in banks from usingthe same account. You are however allowed to send derived data to other machines so long as the original data cannot easily be back calculated. For his sake, and yours if you want to keep receiving this data in its current delivery method, I'd refrain from asking him questions about this
