Modify Order again. SL - 1.5979

Possibilities
If NFP make a spike down to 1.6000 and goes up.
If the NFP breakout downside below 1.6000 and to my stoploss.
If NFP breakout Upside above 1.6080 ... will keep it running till TP hit.

If loss = -60 pip = -24,000USD
If profit = +200 pip = +80,000USD

Decision is final now.. no more modification in Stoploss. Keeping fingers crossed. Goodluck to all!
is it on real account or demo??

i believe 1.6010 is important level for cable to go up, once the level is broken we can c cable heading down....

Well, I can say that I'm totally with you, It's uncertainty everywhere now. I think I'll wait until they release the Kraken before I enter another position.

Correct me if I go wrong here.

April opened at 1.60316 month open

Support comes in at 1.59350 which was support for last month also.

Considering daily chart and March month candle a test of 1.593500 should happen even if it is just a spike.

1.61120 is current daily resistance and a pretty strong one.

We need one or two weeks to work on the uptrend scenario, just before the MPC rate news due in April which should take us to 1.65760 zone.

so considering this scenario I will prefer not to hold shorts below 5950, longs if any I can keep them open indefinitely.

Am I wrong in saying the following:
NFP will make it peak either up or down... if you put a reasonable SL and TP points so that pips loss = 1/2 * pips won (so SL 1/2 the amount of pips compared to the amount that you place your TP) you will either loose for example 30 pips but win 60. If you do that everytime NFP is announced you will in the long term win? (either up OR down 50% chance, but your expected gains = 2 * expected loss, so in the long term if you have an equal amount of wins as losses you will be UP).

Yes / No?

Once in the trade, hope for the best and leave the rest!!
Apart from putting a valid SL nothing can be done, so let's see. I have doubt that BANKS will do exact opposite of what we think should happen. Well, we will have the usual spikes for sure :-)

People keep saying that MPC will raise rates since Dec 2010 and now we are in April. August is when we will see the rate hike!

No. It will always reach your SL but never your TP. Read this - http://www.tradingacademy.com/lesson...ex_article.htm

Ok so if it won't reach my TP.. that's not that bad is it? You could always close with a market order? And then the spread will be bigger so you'd be way off or with this news slip but you'd still be in profit though wouldn't you.. ?
