DislikedAnyone trading the USD Unemployment today? I am looking at it... Will post when done. Cheers HIgnored
@ Mightyfine & Moonie...
Good to see I am not alone in these trades
Target on the Unemployment claims? Or are you thinking to leave it open to run in case Yellen's speech sends the USD on a Bull run?
Dunno, I see space until 102.5 (hold thumbs that I am right) for UJ
I need to have my winners pips exceed the losers, otherwise I am in trouble.
But I am thinking of changing MM using the % method results in my lot size decreasing after losses meaning it takes me much longer to get back to where I was before the losses...
Perhaps risking a set $ amount per trade regardless of previous wins or losses.
What is everyone else doing?
Cheers

Still open on UJ Long with Yellens speech coming up, so, I have hedged... just in case, because the current price action is making me nervous...I reckoned that seeing as I am already in profit on my long, the hedge to the short side may just be a safe bet...let us see
WTF am I doing?
Both positions are in the green, so both are set to SL, now, let's hope that there is no whipsaw

PS also tried the Oanda website, nothing...Tony might just freak given their GBP spread debacle last week...

On to tomorrow.
I am looking at the EUR CPI Flash, CAD & USD GDP figures, USD pending home sales & then GBP Carney speech. Problem is, the USD, CAD and GBP events are really close to one another, so I will have to make a call... perhaps long GBPU and short GBPC at the same time
seeing as USD & CAD have some correlation...
Is anybody else trading any of these events?
Cheers

Decided to try the E/U unemployment claims and core durable goods..SL 13 TP 25 BE 7...Moved to BE was up 13 pips and stalled...decided to close trade with meager profit.. 1/2 hour later Yellen started blabbering and moved the pair up +/- 70 pips...
Since I was at no risk, shoulda stayed in the trade..
