{quote} Apparently the meeting was held in secret and so it wasn't posted on FF Cal. The result was however posted after the announcement as a 9.30 GMT Red news event!

I am feeling sorry for our fellow traders that were long eur/chf especially, I have been on the receiving end of these black swan events(aka surprise easing from BOJ in october). If anybody reading this got burnt today, I hope it wasn't too bad and the losses will be made back up, its not the end. nobody can plan for these types of events

Personally, I feel really bad for those folks who were unknowingly on the wrong side of the usd/chf trade, when this secret meeting news was announced, using proper money management, and had their accounts blown up anyway !

I wonder if we can fight with our brokers about it?

I'll bet a ton of traders will argue their losses with their brokers.... and i'll bet the brokers will politely flip them the bird and give the excuse about high volatility and stops not being filled at the set prices. It's not really about "high volatility"... it's about the indemnification in the fine print agreement when you open an account that basically states that the broker does not have to fill your entry / stop / target at the price that you set. thus, "slippage".


And note: my signature line by George Carlin. Seems especially appropriate right now.

Perhaps there is a lesson here that any 'Red' news warning whichever currency it is for should be veiwed with more caution.

Not a chance. You can give it a try but i'm 100% they are happy about it.
Because this kind of trades + 2000 % - 100% keep getting new "clients"/traders for their platform !

I dont think they actually made it available - or may be just minutes before perhaps cause i didnt see it just the US employment stuff
