Hedging during the news

Hello everybody,

I barely traded the news and I am able to hedge with my broker so I am wondering if I am hedging during the news which means I have 2 positions open (1 selling/1buying) then whats the percentage that if I will close one of my positions with a profit and the other one will be with a huge minus, will I ever will be able to close my other position with a profit too or I will have to loose some pips?

I would really appreciate all your guys opinion.

Thanks,

Sincerely, Pip Maker

You better take into consideration that most brokers now freeze up trading for much of the most volitile times during the news. Will you be able to close a position on tim eor at all? My guess is probably not. Many brokers no longer honor a limits or stops instead filling them at the price available when they unfreeze the charts.

My advice is to learn to be a professional trader utilizing technical and fundamental analysis and make smart trades based on research. Trading the news is really for amateurs and a game for fools at best. If anyone claims to make Big Money doing it ask them for proof and they will vanish quickly. The news is very important and drives the market but trying to get in and out quick for a small gain is ridiculous. Give your foolish money to charity or heck just give it the US Government for reconstruction projects in Iraq. Sorry to get off topic!

Wow, well thats not fair at all, looks like soon all of us will stop trading from all those broker's policies.

I actually do trade by using signals, but I just think that I can be more in profit from news trade , instead of waiting a day or two.

When you guys make your own analyzes and decide that you will sell for example, and then in 1 hour some kind of news releases that you don't know about and it goes against you, did it ever happened to you at all? I've been using some paid signals and they had this problem that whenever I am in a position by using their signals before news releases, it always went agains me. If signals sayed buy then after news releases it was selling, and if signals sayed sell then after news releases it would be buying.

Its just being weird sometimes.
