{quote} I also traded the NZD news yesterday(gbpNzd) but I did it because it concurs with the current trend - AND I am still in that trade and looking to add to it. So you see that both methods can be combined. And I would disagree with your statement that there are lots of trend trading threads - most ppl trade tops and bottoms on FF.
That is wonderful and I am happy for you but once again, long term trend following strategies have nothing to so with this thread. Nor does trying to persuade other people in this thread to change their strategy to a long term trend following one.

Following long term trends is a different strategy altogether and with respect to Tony and not cluttering up this thread I think it'd be best to focus on high impact news trading here. Also, there isn't much room for philosophy or conspiracy theories as one other member pointed out.

I'm confused where the philosophy or conspiracy theories came from but nuff said.

Actually HJ I found your posts very heartfelt and they reflected a lot of insight and took courage to express perhaps the way most of FF members feel much of the time..Trading is not just a game of numbers, there IS the full gamut of emotions that we experience..Therefore having a holistic approach to trading, where one uses mindfulness and a blend of head and heart seems to me a sensible and wise approach..

Thanks for the kind words Wigglesworth, I really appreciate it, but I agree with FX, this thread is not the place to rant and rave, it should be kept pure and not hijacked into another direction...I 'spose I need to find a comfortable couch and someone willing to listen...

I'll try to keep my future posts limited to this trading method...

Cheers

So speaking of business, what just happened to the yen?...As we are lamenting our FX fortunes, many of the yen pairs dropped 100 pips in less than an hour...my alerts came on early, but i thought it was just a retrace...

Breaking News "Ukraine acting president sees risk of war as russia "ready to invade" also "Ukraine creates National Guard ahead of Crimea vote"
Tension. Gold is close to 1380.

I do believe to trade such news you have to sit prepared whole day glued to the news ,it is as "tentative" as it gets.

Understood...Most of the time there is a fine line between success and failure and catching these moves is probably what separates the 5% from the 95%..
Would you agree?

LMAO!!

I was referring to not cluttering the thread with other "trading philosophies"... I think it is healthy to express your frustration, anger, vengeance (better than expressing this by clicking the buy button).

I think unless you have some serious insider info you're much better off playing golf or enjoying your life instead of waiting around for random unscheduled news to come out. Best to be out of the market unless there is a reliable scheduled economic event on the docket. Especially if you are a newbie. You have to be careful. This is a multi trillion (name your currency) market. You have to respect it.

I was lazing around the couch eating bon bons and watching Oprah reruns when alerts were going off like a fire alarm...I saw the JPY move early but talked myself out of an entry..So this week overall I lost some coinage and now not afford a couple of balls much less a game of golf...hahahaha!!!
