IMHO, AUDUSD likely to re-test 0.9330 and then reverse to 0.9280. Currently, MACD supports the up-move.

Yeah interesting... I happened to switch timescales on one chart and the spike appeared... after the fact. Screenshot 1 is the one I opened second. Screenshot 2 is one I've had open for a few hours. The last candle is the hourly on both

I have the spike as well on Oanda....

I was in the AUDJPY shorts and even though the stop price wasnt hit, the spread triggered them anyway. I saw a spread of 50 pips for about 2 seconds. On chat with Oanda right now.

Luckily my aussie longs survived.

Simple answer.Since many of us have ecn/ndd broker got the spike which means it was big boys job.
Those who had market maker broker a.k.a trading against their clients didn't got the spike because they are not "connected" with the real market.

Guess who is market maker in this case

market maker hide informations from you, don't want you to know that a retest has already happened, and will be new high. (right now)

talk about right place at the right time - I saw the spike when it happened...that was crazy...flash of light and it was done.
"Holy Grail" exists - accepting where is the first step.

I'm with FXCM. It's weird though. I've got 2 charts in front of me saying nothing happened and one saying there was a huge spike at 22:34 GMT+10. Same broker.. same feed. Same application instance. The only difference is that the one showing the spike was one I had changed timeframes on to take a look at the news reaction.

And yep. Live account and that's a real order sitting at 92973. I took out the stops temporarily though because of the impending major news event and me being far enough in the green. Too often I've been spiked around major news. Would have needed a 150 pip dump to really hurt my account though so it was a calculated risk
