It seems that Oanda widened spread beyond 14 pips on EUR/CAD to take out my position... tsk tsk My other broker didn't, you just can't win with these guys can you?

Sold EU in the morning and got stopped out at BE; sold UC and SL brought to BE.

Anyone know how to trade Yellen Speak? Is there any report released before she speak or do we follow the time on FF calendar?

What I do not understand at the moment about Oanda, I entered 2 mins before news time, set my SL at 14 pips and I still got stopped out, that means that spread widening was in excess of 28 pips seeing as they split the spread in two and add half to bid and half to ask, damn, that is some high spread...Did anyone else experience the same?

Thanks

Launched a rocket 15mn before the CAD new release, long side, SL 6pips, TP 30pips to target a 1:5 Risk reward ratio.
But after the new, i moved my SL higher, and got stopped , leaving the market with 16pips with CADJPY.
On the EURCAD the market moved better compared to the CADJPY, but i chose the CADJPY to be sure there will not be conflict
of interpretation by the market, with the EUR news released just before.
waiting for other news.

I have sent an email to the Oanda rep that promised me the moon and the stars, regarding the spread widening of around 28 pips. I shall wait for his reply and see what happens...

I think win or lose, if you are in it for the long term... why not use an ECN like Interactive Brokers. I think there's simply too much hassle dealing with some of these brokers...

My original account is with an ECN and I was experiencing slippages on my stops (between 15 & 30 pips) with them so I am trying Oanda because of that. Both are running side by side, so we will see...

Hello everyone!

Good week ahead of us wish all good pips!
Missed the euro news but took the Canada's GDP,keeping my position at B/E due to the upcoming Yellens talk,assuming it will drive USD and CAD further north against other currencies.

Well done Niko, the pairs that I had chosen show absolutely no intent of going anywhere, so you have done well my friend. (I traded EURCAD & AUDCAD)

Looks like the market is waiting for something, neither GU or UJ can make up their minds.

Probably waiting for the ideal time to whip & slip some dip
