{quote} I coded my EA to fit to my needs exactly so there is too much explaining if I share it here. Besides this has more settings than mine: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=6854 It's basicly the same as mine but more settings. I have studied the code and can confirm that it is well coded and well optimized.
i tried to install it but cant get it to work. I asked in thread what is last version and how to install but nobody answer

ECB President Draghi Speaks

How do you guys trading the Draghi speech?

Do you listen and then decide to buy/sell accordingly? Or do you wait for the transcript to come out, make your own interpretations?

Promised you some NFP action so here goes. All of the trades are with real money when I have covered the account ID from the top.

NFP 5.2 2014
Inserted Video

This was last month. All went well and got little slippage.

NFP 3.7. 2014
Inserted Video

My EA had a bug and the orders didn't open so no trade. Oanda is demo only.

NFP 2.7 2014
Inserted Video

Got over 50 pips of slippage here. This is the reason you trade NFP @ Oanda.

NFP 1.10 2014
Inserted Video

Decided to cancel my EA because of the crazy moves before the release. Too scared of slippage.

NFP 12.6 2013
Inserted Video

Again move before the release and no move after. No trades.

NFP 11.8 2013
Inserted Video

This was scary. Too tight settings so sell opened before the news. Luckily only 6 pips of slippage. This would have whiped my account if it was somewhere other than oanda... Total of 26 pip loss.

NFP 10.22 2013
Inserted Video

Government shutdown so small lots here.

NFP 9.6 2013
Inserted Video

Again huge slippage.

NFP 7.5 2013
Inserted Video

One of my first bigger wins with straddle.

NFP 6.7 2013
Inserted Video

My first ever NFP trade with real money.

Hope you enjoy and get something out of this. There's ins and outs in straddle trading and I'm in no way trying to promote straddling. Infact I have stopped trading news this way except for NFP. Tony's method works better in other news and you get bigger wins in NFP also if you buy before. These videos are purely for your analysis so you can see the spread and the move how it reacts in real time. That's why I have included videos where I cancel my trades.

Good stuff and thanks for sharing. The 2 minutes early entry on one consistent (buy) side of the divide and only going for the big ones makes more and more sense. It sort of proofs that the straddle strategy experiments on the news I am doing at the moment might not be the best investment time wise. Tony his strategy rules to make money on the bigger news over time. Because the (big) news times are off limits for scalping and all other normal smaller scale breakouts anyway focusing on Tony his strategy will keep me from entering trades at the wrong time AND make money. I am very pleased I came across this thread.
Can't see any major pairs in good longer term trending to overcome the big news in another way at the moment.
Hopefully they will when the world cup in Brazil starts...

Well you saw I had over 50 pip of slippage on two other brokers so 15 pip spread and no (very little) slippage sounds a lot better don't you think?
So yes. I wouldn't trade NFP on any other broker to be honest.

Isn't the spread in the ask-price? So if we use Tony's system and buy before news with small spread those 15 pip spread wouldn't matter? So if you like to straddle even with Oanda you can buy EU and UY, both are buy trades and they hedge.

That's not actually a bad idea! I will have to think about it which is better. One thing is though is that would you need double the account size because of the low leverage to get the same profit?

The AUD Capital Expenditure was good for a 40 PIP spike on AUDUSD last time. I live in Australia and the very tight budget proposed by the new liberal/national Government had consumer confidence drop 15% (!) in the last 5 weeks. http://www.forexlive.com/blog/2014/0...t-27-may-2014/
The AUD is still highly volatile...
