DislikedI have run the system over '07, '08 and '09 with interesting results. I then used the forex factory calendar to mark the FOMC weeks. If no trading was done during these weeks in '08 the total pips gained went up by about 33%. This year the same strategy would have meant a reduced profit but it could be something to keep an eye on. I haven't gone back to '07.Ignored
