I went to the trader expo and Kathy Lien was talking about how you can figure out what the news will be before it comes out. Like, you can look at retail sales to figure out what CPI data will be coming out. I don't really remember what she was talking about. haha

Nicely done! so even for these crosses, what kinda news do you usually trade? As i can see from you post, it was a low priority news that u were trading.

upon reading the tick chart on eur/sek, the spread widened at one point around 60ish pips during news with an avg however of around 40 ish.. i guess we would need to radically rethink parameters for such a trade.. thinking of the possible slippages is a bit scary so i'd advice having much smaller position in these markets as an initial suggestion but i will research this perhaps over the weekend or so. a well accounted stop loss may make this quite profitable.

It was a nice market trap.
Traded gbp/jpy managed to get a few pips but nothing impressive.Those market maker do an excellent job by creating liquidity the last 30 seconds and reeling in a small fish into their nets,then with the help of "order vacuum" price is shooting higher on the bad news ...not even challenging yesterdays highs.

well whatever the reason it is why I gradually moved away from current algo trading, at least temporarily; when logic fails awesome RR ratios win.

GDP data for CHF looks interesting too.
Norway has Labour Force Survey too.
