never trade the initial major news candle: spread, whipsaws, pullback, slippage are your worst enemies... can't put a 3 pip SL on that kind of news
Lesson learned indeed. nice entry tony.

Nice entry Tony, but SL couldn't have been 3? spread was still around 8 at that time?

it's true, the spread was 7.5, but not 20.... it's a risk I took, but as soon as I was in profit (4-5 pips)... I set my SL at 0

An old news chart, reminding you of the dangers of trading the news on the first initial spike.... we all wished all news looked like the one we saw today, but we don't live in that kind of world, unfortunately

Might want to consider getting another broker. 8 pip spread is ridiculous. I had 1-2 pip spread at that time of trade.

i agree
a few questions: who's you're broker? what about execution and re-quotes, slippage after news? all things to consider to avoid a mirage

possible earlier mini resistance entry level, for the ones that didn't enter in the beginning

Look at the blue line

I use Interactive Brokers. They charge commission per trade...works out to about $6 for trading 1 full contract, so you get the lowest spreads. Biggest brokerage in the world. I've used them for trading stocks and forex for many years now. Execution has always been excellent.

As for re-quotes, I've never had that problem. I hit either the bid or offers with two key strokes, so as long as Im fast enough, I get filled.

During big news annoucements, the spreads can get huge, like 10-20 pips, but they quickly return to roughly 1-2 pips once things settle down.

8 pip spread is just way too much, especially when the news has been out for over a minute.

guys I'll be adding a new entry rule for the 10 pip candles ''in normal times"

there would have to be NO RECENT PRICE BELOW / ABOVE the candle... in that way we'll eliminate a lot of false signals and also hit on the supports and resistances what do you think?????
