There's gonna be the prelim report exactly when the press conference starts so that disturbs everything...

On my part, there's gonna be a surveillance of the 5 sec frame chart, as soon as you see a breakout composed of a 5-10 pip candle get in the train. 5 pip SL

Cheers Tony, I see. Unfortunately, my platform only goes down to 1 minute. I'll try it with that.

Yes, any chart works, the basic concept is to detect when someone moves their mouth and drops unexpected news. Fakes can occur.

Hi Tony,
I saw from your picture in first post, you will create only buy order with SL and PT set according to list. is that correct? Will you do buy/sell order together at last 2 minute and set the SL and TP according to your setting?

Thank.

P/S: Prepare to trade US NFP this coming friday.

Tony only ever buys, its like flipping a coin 50/50 but SL is waaay lower then TP therefore it puts the advantage into our favor

And NFP is the only news I'm trading this week. I'm going to try something new and if it works I'll let y'all know

Yes, I would like to learn it and trade for NFP this coming Friday. In this case, if we fail at this time, then we need to wait another time to trade to get it win, right? I'm think to do pending order for both side, then waiting which one to trigger and cancel the other one. Maybe will apply the TP and SL according to Tony attachment.

I would prefer trying an OCO order (one cancels the other) rather than a pending order on both sides. I've had bad experiences using two orders and having them both triggered and being hit with two lots of s/l's (whipsawed)

Why Tony and others like me don't use OCO or pending orders during news times is because Theres is huge slippage and you might not get filled till the move is over or almost over therefore losing our edge.


I used to use pending orders but when spread widens on the MT4 platform the BUY order usually always gets filled because of the widening of spreads and then say you have a 10 pips SL it may get slipped to like 30 pips. I've been there done that got the T-shirt type thing. The most profiable way that I have found so far is just buy with low SL and big TP odds are in your favor

Cheers Dustin,

Going back to your earlier comments about slippage, I have experienced this a few times myself, very annoying. I've experimented with a few brokers and the latest one is very good for not widening the spread, so my OCO strategy works quite well. When you say you always Buy, what pairs do you trade? Do you always go short USD?

Moonie,

Which is your best broker for your OCO strategy? How about their slippage?

Thanks

Im using ETX Capital at the moment. They seem to keep the spread low on EU, GU, AU but have bigger spreads on the more exotic pairs.
