Tony, how much profit we move the SL to 0 or profit?

News spikes are usually very violent... as soon as you shoot up, put on your 0SL

Dont know if the Spanish news will spike any really bro, but the GBP construction pmi news at 4:30 could be good for about 10-12 pips with a straddle i would think.

Guys I will be putting my bets on the US Trade Balance at 8:30 am ET. I think this would be one of those that has potential to move up or down violently, and one of those closely watched release among a handful. Another thing working for us is that the US trading hours remains one of the more volatile times of the day, for better or for worse.

For this trade I'll put in 10 pips above and below the ask and bid price - thus allowing some space for increased spread during volatility. And this trade would also require at least 15 pips SL.

Hoping for a good run tonight to finally put my account into positive balance!

Yeah man! You know the 15 mins leading to the news release, is a very tense time for me. The when the order gets filled it's even more tensed. And I only finally relax after the trade is closed.

That's why I need a stiff drink with me when I trade.

True story.

Usually 15 mins last 15 mins, but before news 15 mins are like 1 hour for me....looks like we found a way to travel the time.

0SL, guardian of my funds.

This news is IMPOSSIBLE to trade with my broker. They put up a spread of 20 pips. I acknowledge there's no slippage on their side but oanda makes it very hard with the 20 pips on the GBP pair. If I was to put a limit-buy or limit sell AFTER the news, you can forget about it!!!! Entering the trade before news advantages me because the 20 pip spreads is only 10 pips since I entered before. Still time to change brokers for me. EUR news are not as bad! but GBP is untradable, 20 pipS!

News are hard to trade like we all see, i think that round numbers ale still good way to trade. It's possible to enter with high accuracy, and sometimes price bursts the same way like during the news.

Maybe today we will see price around 1,3100...

Tony, what I do is to put in a buy limit order 10 pips above the Ask price, sell limit order 10 pips below the Bid price. So if spread happens to be wider I have that taken into account by sacrificing a few pips.

So far I only see big spread for EUR during closing time at 5 pm ET, where it can go up to 15 pips. Just seconds prior to news release, there might be moments when spread could go up to 5 - 6 pips, then it quickly comes back down. This is what I observe so far for Oanda.
