News trading the simple way

Quoting nave
You will never get slippage on demo.
absolutely!!

its always a better school to invest 100$ and trade micro lots to see the real picture!
Ah USDCAD - the chart can move a mile and you might have only made about 3 pips. Lol

Heads up for anyone able/willing to be around at 2:45am UK time - we've got CNY HSBC Flash Manufacturing PMI coming up so that means Aussie dollar (for reasons I'm yet to grasp)...

Yes, I agree with you all that I have to test on a live account.

What is your experience with the slippage at IC Markets on a live account?

Well... I traded 3 or 4 times US News on Gold with a slip from 3 - 10 pips.
Same on GBP News, the highest slip there was on GBPAUD with 17 pips.

anyway... I think we all know that there will be some slippage. If we like to shot only for 5-10 pips we should do fine I think!
If we like to shot for the big winner.... Then we have to change to a FIX API accounts!

Zdravstvuyte,

I do not understand how your trade can be executed like that.

If I understand correctly your screenshot is from a demo account?

Yes this is a demo. I myself nothing has understood trade opened higher TP, and immediately closes with a minus by TP.
P.S. slippage
Iam very curious which broker this is
IC Markets is good to trade news. Spread won't increase insane, platform freezes but because the tp is only 5 pips slippage won't do much to it because TP is so low. You better quit your broker IvanPipo because that's just retarded.

@ TheDandelion

ofcourse it has for you, if you are trading with servers that are on the other side of the world...
I've also just fallen afoul of "take profit" of -1.5 pips on AUDUSD. Has anyone tried this with a trailing stop instead of take-profit?

I trade from Germany with IC Markets... Never had a problem with the trade execution! My trades which I take manually are executed right in time

By the way, I just had a chat with the customer support on ICM and get now a 20% discount on my trade comission...
If anyone is interested to get it too, PM me!

a nice 20 pip gainer
Slow news day on the continent today. As for GBP Retail Sales m/m, this was choppy as hell in the seconds leading up to it and afterwards. The charts don't do it justice but all I'm saying is I'll be damned if I trade this particular news item again.

Buit it's all good. The CNY HSBC Flash Manufacturing PMI looks like a promising cash cow for Aussie pairs, even if it means closing it manually if broker issues persist.
