Red news, 2 brokers, 2 directions

Hello!

I saw this idea at FF several years ago but can't find it now.

2 accounts with different brokers, max leverage, max available equal lot size. We open one buy with one broker and one sell with the other as close as it technically possible to the time of the most serious news (NFP etc), fixed equal TP. One account gets margin call, the other one gets TP.

Then my main hesitationd were about quick wicks both way and slipage above the TP and I had not a possibility to check this "strategy" by myself. Has anybody tested a news trading this way? Has it any practical sense?

Thank you.

It could work, but the risk isent worth the reward. There is no edge just gambling that a TP might be hit while basicly guarantying a loss in one account.

The fact is statisticly speaking its the worst time to do something like this becouse the odds are against you the most (increased spreads and slippage).

Its not a longterm solution, but a tempting shortterm gamble, a potential short cut. Its a valid question.

What i learned over the years is that Capital is key, Why do the rich stay rich? Becouse a serious ammount of capital with just a small precentual return creates seriuos profits. Someone that has 2. Million in High yiels savings with 3.85%/year makes 77.000$ a year. While someone with 5.000$ would only make 192$ a year. Thats not an option.

What im trying to say with this is, dont add risk or uncertainty. Add capital to icrease the return in $. You can only scale quality longterm. A safer repeatable process.

I find making 2-3% a month being more repeatble. Key is, if its more likely to achive and repeat, then you can scale through capital and avoid mistakes that come from other approaches of trading, which keep you stuck in the longrun.
