With CB Consumer I have witnessed low volatility. I didn't trade it. Happy to hear it's snowballing. On my side I'm doing the same.

Hi Tony,

I like your trading method and appreciate your weekly input. I have been using a similar method recently for trading futures.

My question is, why would I place a buy order 2 minutes before the news when it appears to have equal chance of a volatile move in the opposite direction? Do you have reason to believe the price will increase or are you just hoping that it will increase and willing to accept a small loss in favor of a large win?

Please let me know.

Thanks,


Bryan

Hm, alrighty then.


Maybe someone can answer this one: How do I get a 5 second chart on ThinkOrSwim since this method may work best with short intervals? The lowest I can pull up appears to be a 1 minute chart. Anyone know?

Hi Tony,...why would I place a buy order 2 minutes before the news when it appears to have equal chance of a volatile move in the opposite direction?....Thanks, Bryan
This has already been answered in the last few pages. The spreads can become huge, especially during the NFP report. Read back until you're familiar with this approach.

Hm,....How do I get a 5 second chart on ThinkOrSwim...

Few traders here are likely to use TOS for FX. Most brokers offer MT4, which only has 1 min and simulated ticks. Oanda and a few others have real tick charts. Some use Oanda's native platform and MT4 to get the combo they need. Finding a good, honest broker with great spreads is more of an art than a science. Tony has commented on this before. Again read through the thread.

Educate yourself and stay on topic. If you're new to FX trading, go to Baby Pips or ForexPeaceArmy to get answers to basic questions. Most of the threads ignore basic questions about FX trading. They're focussed on making a profit, often on making a living. Most of the thread owners have spent years refining their approach.

Would you walk into a brain surgeon's office and ask, "Hey, Doc. How do I do brain surgery? Mind showing me how that machine there works?..."

So, don't take it personally if you get ignored.
The mind thinks, the heart knows...

I don't foresee myself reading 425 pages of information any time soon. I certainly wouldn't allow a surgeon to touch my brain until he explained the reasoning behind his approach. Thanks for the advice and answer to my questions though.

How can your entries be so close, I mean that I put buystop and sellstop orders for 7 pips, but actally they were entered 15-18 pips. So I took 2 pips only. Is this brokers fault or I am doing it wrong?

makron are you using a demo account or is this live? You seem to have no slippage on those trades. If this is live, what broker are you using? Instaforex?

Yes, Instaforex. They have fixed spread 3 pip. But i trade with only 1000$. So, when i have 10 000 or 100 000, i think that Insta dont give me any chance

I monitoring spread during news at 15 brokers. Some of them 3-5 pips during news. So, when Insta power off me, i'll go to them
