I have a question,
So is a straddle news trade when you place a news trade 2 mins before with for example:
An 18 pip stop buy as well as an 18 pip stop sell at the same time.
This way when the news comes out, if it goes down you hit your buy stop but make profit on the down move
And alternatively, this way when the news comes out, if it goes up you hit your sell stop but make profit on the up move.
This way is doesn't matter which way the news goes so long if it is a decent move that doesn't whipsaw shit loads. On this basis, aren't you pretty much guaranteed profit more than you would ever lose? Is this the holy grail? ..
Please let me know if I have figured it all out lol.

As nice as that sounds, that strategy is not scalable, it can work for some news and not work for a lot ,because of slippage during news hour.
If you set a pending for x price 2 mins before news , when it is news time the broker can fill you in at 40pips + x , that means you are already down by 40pips. you will be lucky if the news move further but in big trouble if it start going down. 40 pips is just an example it can be more or less and that is something outside your control. That is why Tony place a market order 2 minutes before the news and not a pending order. I used to trade the pending order before until i got slipped 45 pips twice which was 3x my anticipated stop loss.
if you want to have no direction bias and hedge your self you can do something like this e.g for AUD news buy Audusd and buy EurAUd , One will hit SL and the other might deliver a good return (when the news moved very well).
Pending will only work if you can get a broker that will provide a slippage control, maximum number of slippage set to a fixed number i.e 10pips

I am unexperienced with news trading so I am not sure why you say it would not be possible to put a buy and a sell order on at the same time? I wasn't talking about placing a pending order 2 mins before, but rather a marker order like Tony
What is slippage exactly? If I set my SL for an 18 pip stop it should stay at a 18 pip stop shouldn't it?..

Slippage: You place (or close) an order at a certain price. Your broker fills your order at a worse price (the price "slips") and blames it on fast moving market conditions. Some brokers do this and only hit you for a few pips. Others will burn you for 20, 30, or even more.
