{quote} ..Reading this made me smile so muchBest of luck buddy, I'm with ya! I think the only way to ever have a chance is by taking a chance. You have to be in it to win it as they say.. This is how I feel about this way of trading as well, the potential and the odds are definitely there, its just a matter of perseverance and determination to be able to stick it out long enough to be able to become successful at it. The same goes for anything in life.

.....I will try my best to keep my lot size the same for the next month... .... Oh yeah, no could haves, should haves or would haves etc next month I hope to perform better in my discipline and trading results in April...lets hope that the wheels do not fall off for the remainder of March.Cheers H
In my news trading I also didn't keep the same lot sizes, by pip % i got more winnings ones,but the losers are more "fattier"
Hey all. Just a quick heads up that I have opened a live account with Oanda (still needs to be funded) in order to try out another type of news trading strategy, I am anxious to see whether they have slippage or not....As per usual, the trade explorer on this account will be up as well for all to see H

{quote} Sure...Why not? What do we have to lose but our money? (And perhaps a little sanity?)
That'll be enough for you to lose some money and sanity
{quote} Yep I went short 1 lot, SL hit, then I went short 1 lot again thinking it would go back down sure enough SL hit again. That'll be enough for you to lose some money and sanity

{quote} My condolences to the family!
That's not including the trades I'm holding of course but they are smaller trades I expect to turn around. This news business is a tough one!

I just woke up in front of the computer 3 minutes after the news. Now I will go hit my head on the brick wall for falling asleep.

What can I say???
I opened a pending long on GA, got slipped by 30 pips, then, for some or other reason, my order was closed for a 1 pip loss, even though the price shot up in my favour??? I didn't want to think it in the past, but this broker I am with seems to be playing at something...
They should be warned though, I will place exactly the same trades with Oanda, and woe be to them if they differ, at all.
This is in effect, at last count, a 70 pip "loss" for me. WTF
