{quote} woww thank you so much, it is really helpfull, i have been collecting statistics manually....
Yah, i used to do the spreadsheet as well But is still note some news that the sites does not cover.
With that portal, you can analyse previous price action of your target news that can can reveal some traits and you can then rate it tradeable or passover. You can also see the pairs that the news has much impact on. i wish it were free but the little dough i made on my small account paid for the 20 buck monthly fee.

{quote} I'm with ibfx u.s.,they also have a branch in Australia I do believe. Few years ago they even refunded me the slippage "error" which was 0.41us cents I didn't even noticed it. This particular Aussie news I hedged,one side got taken out clean,as it was meant.
...just to add,maybe once I will be constantly profitable they will put me to "slippage" list lol!!! I hope not.

Used an EA straddle on the NZD and AUD stuff today...There is a setting that will cancel the orders if slippage or spread reaches a certain number...Both exceeded the set spread of 13 pips and all orders were canceled...manually jumped into the NZD trade about 20+ seconds after news and luckily caught about 20 pips...Jumped into the Aud about 20 seconds later and made 6 pips...

But, how can the EA determine the slippage if the trade hasn't been entered?

I got about 65 pips on AUD/JPY on the employment news and didn't straddle that one.

Hello everyone.... I can definitely see you get a lot of slippage... be disillusioned by your low spread broker. They will eat you out on slippage!!!
I'm getting a 20 pip spread = 10 pip loss..cause I enter before and strictly no slippage.

I didn't trade this news.

I stayed on the bench. I hesitated too much and I regret it. I ask God to keep me away from trying a revenge trade now.

As much as I don't like it, i will give dukascopy a fair chance and see what their reply is because if this is standard practice i don't see the point of stop loss or 'slippage control' if my position will be 60 pips away from my stop loss anyways

You're right FX the spread setting works on pending order and the slippage setting works on live orders..
Congrats on the Aud/Jpy..You caught the great majority of the move...With successes like that why contemplate trading another asset?

Gosh NC that's really crazy slippage...Seems they should honor something close to the SL with a reasonable slippage percentage assumed??

Right!! Eur/Usd and Eur/Cad in strong uptrends...Aud pair might have the best volatility, though it seems that I tried this news event several times and it was a fizzle...Hope there's some movement...
