The thing is that you must have really good broker, min spread, no slippages/requotes.

Buystop and Sellstop 10-15 sec before news release, offset 5-10 (depending on spread of your broker, I will do 7), TP as soon as possible, I use EA for this, 1 pip in profit->Sl to BE and then let it float (at least 100p).
Thanks. Lots of questions!

I assume if your buystop is hit you cancel the sellstop?
What's your original stoploss for the buystop/sellstop?
Could I ask who you're using as a broker?
Also, does your EA place the trades or just move the stops to BE?

I am using EA, this is avaible in this thread (look up in the corner) named News Trading. It automatically deletes the other order. SL is 2-3 pips more than gap of orders. My current broker is Admiral Markets and I am using Pro account, there is avaiable mt5 as well (much better) but currently I am developing EA for mt5. EA does all the job for you. The main thing is that order execution must be very fast (broker).

Knocked up 52 pips on UK GDP despite the neutral news and a whipsaw. I made a note that whipsaw began at precisely 09.29.30. Lucky I entered on the GBP reversal off the 16200 support with a wide stop that escaped the whipsaw.

Hello all,

Tony thanks for a great thread

I have read this thread from 14th Sept 2013. I just have 1 question if Tony or any one else could kindly answer.

What if I do hedging and place market orders of BUY & SELL both with SL:10-15 and TP: 50 on both orders.

I know the thread rules are to BUY only, but this is just a what-if analysis for my understanding.

The trade may go either way and I can be assured that I will win 50 pips and lose 10-15 pips. So, I will be netting 50-15=35 pips.

What is wrong with this approach?

P.S. I am a forex newbie so overlook my lack of understanding.

It works but I personally don't do that. Why? because once the news is on, I control my stop-loss, drag it gradually to 0 and do all types of other management, look how price is moving, correct my sl to +5, -5, etc.... so that can't be done in double. Id keep it simple.

We'll have to be patient mates. My next trade is scheduled on the 7th of November (ECP press conference) and then 8th of November, NFP. It takes so much patience I pray that I make it.

not all news/results make a 50 pip move , you have to also keep in mind the fake spikes that happens on some news, and can trigger both your SL.
SL have requote too, depending on the news your sl my drift from 10-15 pip to over 30.

news trading can be very profitable if you know what you're doing, but you need to do some serious homework first.
you need to know what news to trade, what the outcome maybe according to the historical impact on the pair you want to trade, the spread/latency of your broker....
also, all news are different, you won't trade the NFP like you would trade the French Flash Manufacturing PMI.....
i don't know if tony trade that way, but its profitable for me.

Guys, I'm a little melancholic here. I can't believe what I'm seeing. I'm going through my whole thread since the beginning and I'm noticing how ENORMOUSLY the market has changed. It's not the same volatility at all. 5 pip seconds candles used to make such straddles before... everything has changed sooo much I can't even explain.

Dear Tony,
This might be because you shared your holy grail with the world. The big players never want immensely money making systems in the public domain, they want to discourage every winning system. One has rightly said that a secret remains a secret until it is not disclosed but once disclosed it is no more a secret. That might be the reason that most of the profitable traders do not reveal their secret lethal weapons with other.

But any ways you are a super guy that have remained on the thread for 4 years and have provided others with so many pips (profits) and that to in matter of seconds and minutes. Great job!

TC
