I opened two positions (BUY/SELL, GBPUSD) 1 minute before the news release (Average Earnings Index 3m/y, Claimant Count Change, MPC Official Bank Rate Votes) with the same lot size, 20 pips stop loss and 60 pips TP, and it worked like a charm! :-)

This is going to be my strategy for the major high imapct news trading from now on (instead of flipping a coin to make trade decision). It may lose if the different econometric news results contradict each other, but if I can be fast enough to analyze the results, I can close one (or even two) at breakeven or just with a smaller loss. I may increase TP to 80 pips, but statistically 60 pips move has much higher probability to happen.
Trading is the hardest way to make easy money...

Just an interesting observation I made...

For the first time ever the SNB is having a press conference in March when it has always been in June, December, June, December.

Does it really make you sick? As a retail trader, what marginal value do you contribute to society? At least real estate developers build productive assets.
But traders? Nothing! .... Oh whats that? You add Liquidity? Okay, I guess so. But not really. It isn't like a doctor, or an engineer, or anything else. But
if you take an existential approach to life - who cares, anyways.

These blokes just had more information. This kind of stuff used to really bother me, now it doesn't at all. An interesting fact is that when Fed/BLS releases
economic reports - they give it the PRESS an hour before so they can prepare their news reports - this hour of time is known as EMBARGO. Do you think 200
reporters with market moving data all behave and stay quiet? I doubt it! These aussie fellows got caught, but I can almost guarantee this is a
widespread practice.

In a way, it could be awesome. Think of the unscrupulous FX Brokers, that screw clients by misquoting, hunting stops, whatever...I know not all
brokers are bad, but some suck. Imagine having that information, and taking that FX Broker out to the toolshed. Again, and again, and again.

Could there be a sweeter payback?

Despite the fact that I think you guys are a bunch of goofballs, I'm somehow drawn to this thread.
How did it get to be 710 pages? And you've stuck together all these years? It's not the "highest and
best use" of my time, but I am reading through all 710 pages. Bit by bit. I'm on page 81 now. Some of the
stuff you guys say cracks me up.

If I say something (like what I am about to say) that's already been covered, apologies.

.....Have you guys looked at Oanda FX LABS?


http://fxtrade.oanda.com/analysis/labs/

Oanda literally publishes their order book. want to talk about STOP LOSS Hunting? Well, Oanda shows you
where all the open positions/orders are. Now mind you its just Oanda, which is like a peanut compared to the
FX Market. But still, if you haven't looked at the Labs then take a look. There's all kinds of cool stuff.

For example consider this, if there was insider trading and the news leaked a little bit before. Might we not expect a footprint
to appear in Oanda's order logs? Maybe the Logs can provide insight into the news trading you guys do. I would not waste
your time with frivilous stuff. I'm freaking pissed at everyone cause I gotta read 710 pages of tony having a bbq

I'll be around.

Sorry, Tony one of your fellow coin tosser(me) lost his coin ( tossed it away after it gave too many consecutive wrong calls) gotta borrow yours for this week so do tell your toss .........I'll never lose my alarm clock though

goofballs?? really? Just follow Tony's advice - read away, get an alarm clock and a coin and and before you know you will be goofing away with us . Some times some of us whimpers, some other times we laugh out loud then rarely some thing crazy like SNB makes some us cry out loud but mainly its a pip party before and after the alarm blows....
Hey Tony how come you never tell us when things are going fine with your wife ...we get to only hear about the bad days....? how does it when you aint getting "misbehaving' and getting into family troubles.

What is it about the beach that draws the soul of successful traders to it?... its like our ....TOP...? feels at one with God there like we are co owners of the universe or something...
-We contribute by what we use the money for e.g sponsor the education of some child etc well at-least i use that to convince and console myself that trading doesnt make one utterly useless to the world .....actually we are at the top as money distributors, emmm........philanthropists.... project sponsors ...and what ever "noble" sometimes "claimed" endeavor that makes me feel better.. try thinking like that you will love trading more that way. Any alarms today? Yes Existing homes sales figure..got to fibonacci this one . Whos in?
Know News/time; WAIT for Edge Entries, MPLC Normalization, Exits & TP's..

I like this approach when it comes to trading too, do good things for others and good will come to you, make it count
