Don't think so, i remember one time they rise rate unexpected but i see not good move it spike around 30 pips and quickly reverse, be careful of this one, almost 50% expect hike so don't expect much move from upside and it is already priced in... but maybe we should wait and see this in action.

If 50% expect a rate raise, would that mean only 50% of the market is pricing in a move based on a hike?

I think there will be action either outcome.

Best of luck!

30 minutes to go, I think you will see a big move as most of the recent gains have been pushed higher on building expectation of a rate rise.

I actually got into a short position set up at 8133 to get some distance prior to the release.

I think there will be a good correction down should rates stay the same.

I am going to play a straddle 10 pips away from the 6:29:30 tic.
Take Profit @ 30 w/ trail Stop set 10 behind it.

My FOOLISH broker MIG caught my sell stop order & i waited for about 3 minutes for it to be actived to DISCOVER that they stoped me out while the price DID NOT touch my stop loss ... and the AUD/USD spread went to 13 pips or so while it was suppose to be 5 PIPS ONLY !!!!

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ?!?!?!?!?!?!

I've never see worse than these stupids .. I missed that trade .

How soon before the release did you setup your trade? Did they stop you out before or after the release?

Anyone notice on IBFX the AUDJPY slippage? I think the other AUD pairs were okay.

IBFX metatrader went down some 7-8 minutes before the news and was still showing 'No connection' at news time. Therefore it was impossible to trade this AUD news with IBFX. I noticed last time their platform also was down for NZD news. Strange coincidence isn't it?

I am thinking that many brokers are having trouble with the connection. I got an email from my broker stating that they were aware of the problem and are working on it then switch us to another server. I made it in the trade and so far so good on staying on line.
