what's happening with CAD ??
USD is bid across the board on majors right now. Not hearing any geopolitical stuff yet. Risk with Yellen and FOMC is she may not be as dovish as she usually is as she takes the reigns of the FED. Expectation is that taper is steady as she goes but may move up timeline for interest rate increase from 2015 which is where Ben had it.

Try risking 1% per trade, not 1% per pip.

Anybody going on the GBP Budget in 2 mins?

I am. And not because I am a crack head or compulsive gambler Remember that I am building a db so that I can go through a process of elimination - for myself - .

Well that was kak (put that one in your google pipe , what I mean is, can you find out what that means? However, I will stop with the profanities...)

What I have noticed though in the short 2 / 3 weeks that I have been trading this method, GBP (so far) is the worst denominator to trade ito $ return & pips return...

Something to put in my trading philosophy pipe to puff on...

I may even end up excluding GBP pairs and news as a whole. But I think that it is a bit quick to make that assertion after this short period of testing...

I have now purchased massive amounts of USD/CAD for no reason. I see that I will will never exit from this circle. I'm waiting for FOMC to save my life. BTW USD/CAD allows me the most leverage.

Thanks Moen, I checked out the link...when a website that is broadcasting the FOMC press conference & Yellens testimony, refers to the events as "shows" I think we get a real idea of what is going on, it is all for our benefit, the big players already know where price is going...

Remember guys FOMC has a history of massive whipsaw = massive slippage is possible. I would lower your lots if you are gonna trade this. I'm gonna sit this one out this time.

How are you guys finding trading nowadays? i.e. news trades that always whipsawed are still doing the same, staying true to form, or are things not that dependable?
