{quote} Talvinen, your ideas are great and logical but the best way to prove their efficiency is to try them in real life trading. NFP is my most awaited news. To put it in a simple way, with a pending order, *the best* possible entry I would be able to make is at least 40 pips past the price (price before news). That is 20 pips spread + 20 pips entry above original price to avoid false direction triggering. 40 pips is too much + there's no way to put your SL at 16, you must put it at at least 20+pips because of the high spread... so your SL would...
With gold/silver SL would be even bigger - around 40 pips, but with pending orders SL must hit on rare occasions. I am planning to trade news live with oanda next year. I will trade only NFP and CAD unemployment on days when it do not coincide with NFP. Perhaps also AUD unemployment with smaller TP, i will backtest various profit targets for this news. I will use pending orders and maximum available leverage. Let's see how it works out.

Hi Tony, I've been looking at this method and I couldn't understand one thing yet..pardon my ignorance, but, ¿Do you set 2 trades at the same time, one BUY AND one SELL both with a 18 pips SL and a 120 TP? Because that I get it, it results in a 84 pips gain..but, if it's the way I get it, you only put ONE order, BUY OR SELL. So, if it's that way, ¿How do you know if putting BUY or SELL?

I would be very grateful if you clear me those doubts.

Regards

You must put 1 order.. that way you can use your maximum order size %... it not you will have half of the profits... half of the loss too. It's my style I just put 1 direction.

Ok, thanks for the reply! One more question, you say you put only 1 order..how do you decide the direction of it (buy or sell)? Using Virus System?

I've read all the pages of the Virus System, got the '5 seconds L' opened and have read the first 17 pages of this thread, and continuing to read it. I haven't sleep all night . I'm extracting all the important stuff of your threads and making a personal document so I start trading with your systems. Sorry if it sounds stupid but you're an inspiration to me, I've felt really identified with your history on the image of the first page (I'm only 18 years old).

It's already a good sign that at the age of 18 you're ambitious in making your dreams come true. It's possible. At the age of 15 y.o. I created a website that made 120,000$ in the first months (less than a year) This example contains no exaggeration btw. Anything is possible with a lot of self-control. You have to take the right steps. Since it's very hard, I suggest you continue school and invest a low amount in the beginning. If you're doing the right thing, you will be snowballing pretty soon.

$120,000 in a few months? Dudeee. That's exactly what i'm (trying) to do: learning and put it on practice. Ambition is there, but I know it will be a slow process, but with the time, consistancy is the winner here. And yes, I'm currently studying Law in my country. I just invested a little bit (100 USD, all of my savings).
Wish you the best and keep the good entries!

Hi Tony,

Hope you're doing well. Instead of only trading 3 news have you thought about just lessening the sl and tp?

I traded the EUR CPI Flash estimate this morning, I had a really tight sl of just 4 and a tp of 18. Having a fixed spread helps me, and I generally try to get in just before the news is announced i.e 9:59:50 seconds to avoid any execution issues.

It's nice turning up for work at 9:59 and leaving at 10:01

Admittedly i'm just trying this out with small amounts till i'm comfortable with news trading, i've always been told to STAY AWAY!

All the best..

p.s. bottom dashed line is entry, top dashed line is exit price (just made it)
