You should wait for the retrace and then enter.... I changed brokers because of that... I'm currently with IBFX.... market execution on retraces works fine...

Ya, I know you're right, it's just that Alpari is still good for other things so I don't feel like changing now but thanks for your advice, will keep in mind.

Got a +15 anyway, better than nothing

I use the Oracle trader but 95 percent of the time I can not enter the market as the brokers do not let
Would anyone please let me know if there is any good broker which lets you in the market at news releases?

Try Oanda or IBFX...

Oanda's execution is the best that I know of so far, but they tend to widen the spread sometimes to more than 10 PIPS. But if you have a big deviation 10 PIPS is nothing when price goes up with more than 50-100 pips.

IBFX change recently to market execution, so what I do is when I have a safe buy or sell, I would not enter the trade immediately, but wait for the first spike to retrace back, and when it looks like price is going in the direction in the spike, I would enter...

Hope this helps...

Let me know if you found a broker with better execution.

Cheers

Yeah I was sitting aside from the UK Retail Sales, It was great runner. But I don't think I'm having any luck with proper executions. On two trades one on demo and one on live account, I could get a nice price on demo but on my live IBFX executed my trade after like 20 pips or smtn and getting bad fill. DEMO is nice but on LIVE they surelly ripped me off. I was using a straddle ea. it seems like I need to put my stop orders like 2 seconds before the news.

How many of you having bad fills with market order during the announcements? I have an IBFX account they claim 21.890ms as average execution time of IBFX . But I'm getting nowhere near than this. 1-3 sec would be appropriate but at that time the price would be far like 20-30 pips away. Damn. And when I'm having losing streaks IBFX sends me those silly little gifts such as books, bags, t-shirts etc. Seems like they think I will be happy with those gifts even I'm having bad fills with'em. lol

Does OANDA has MT4 account?

What type of market execution they offer? market or instant? what ms on the OT do you get?

yes, u will get slippages with ibfx.

but fxopen is definitely better for straddling, and trading in general for that matter.

Hmm, seems like they're not regulated at all. I'm not trying to deposit few thousands of dollars. So I'm pretty nervouse about this.

okay here is what I found that could or would give us a better chance to execute our orders during announcements. 1st check your mt4 ping. Mine is around 700ms and IBFX claim that they execute orders in 21.890ms which means it will probably will execute my trade after 750ms which is almost 1 sec. And at that time the price will be far away including the spreads as well. In the other hand checking MT4's ping on my VPS got me around 100-120ms which I think it is pretty good thing. But getting very slow PC or CPU shared usage of (10%) on VPS surely will not help, but I'm thinking to upgrade my VPS into Dedicated Server, so my trades should be executed around 150ms if the knowledge is true.

Triggers for this news trade is 0.4

SELL if 0.5
BUY if -0.7

I'm not going to use the straddle for this... I'm going to trade the retrace method if my safe triggers on the Oracle Trader is met.

Good luck

-0.70 ??

0.1 - 0.4 = -0.30

Did I get something wrong ?
