Just wondering Is it worth 20 pips

Your not insnane are? Off course itīs not. Its rediculous. 100 points stop losses for 20 point gains. 20-30pip stop loss for a hundred pip gain is the way round anyone worth there salt trades intra-day

am i right ???? Do u mean volume like this
No, on larger TF, see my previous chart of 1hr TF.
I don't follow small TF volume clue, can't see how anyone can make any meaning of it.

Does anyone know of any studies that have been done which highlights the average time it takes for volitility to return to 'normal' before/after major new announcements?
nobody can give you an exact answer. it depends on the impact of the news and how the market interprets it. My only suggestion is to get a lot of screen time, and then you will be able to answer these two question yourself

On the subject of rules: for those who do not trade the news, how long before and after the news announcement do you stay flat. I tend to avoid trading 15 minutes before and after the news.

Does anyone know of any studies that have been done which highlights the average time it takes for volitility to return to 'normal' before/after major new announcements?
I don't know whether that can be answered by 'certain amount of time'....sometimes the market is ready to trade just a few minutes after the release....sometimes is quarter of an hour, or perhaps even the next session. As a rule of thumb I don't enter a trade until the volitility settles down and a direction is well and truely established. If I miss out on some pips, so be it. If I miss the whole trade completely, so be it. When everything 'falls into place' for me, I'll trade, but not before. If it takes 5 minutes or 60 minutes, so be it!!

Hows that for not answering your question?

I think I have too much screen time as my eyes are dry. 15 minutes either way seems to do the trick for me but I'm simply interested in what others do or if there was a more scientific study that has already been conducted that I haven't come across yet.

+42 vs +38K cons. Better than expected it should give a little push up, is the first positive news from usa since yesterday. Let's see what happens when NYSE is open.

are you guys have also the impression that the euro is lagging to the dow jones. Last times there was a CLEAR breakout for the DOW (on the upside). I was long on euro and was tinking, damn, the euro isn't following, and after half an hour BOOM, up it went...

This already happened 2 times this week, and perhaps today the 3th time.. I hope so, cause I'm long again...

Depends the perception of the market, if they think "Oh looks like it is safe to hold USD again" "Fed might rises rates sooner"

then the bull of Euro will end here.

are you still using predicted H/L's as a matter of interest?
AI forecasts (a bit late in the week). I don't use these anymore but if they are of interest then here they are:

Daily
PH: 1.3301 (66% probability of making a higher high)
PL: 1.3175 (71% probability of making a higher low)

Weekly:
PH: 1.3324 (77% probability of making a higer high)
PL: 1.3175 (72% probability of making a higher low)

What if they think "news is good, less pressure on the US economy, let's buy high yield currencies and dump the dollar, let's revive risk aversion"

Too many way to think !!
