Yeah, you pretty much just described my first experience trying to catch a big news move. Your mind is going "Oh no! Wrong way, lemme try this. What? Wait! I thought you just went that way, NOW you come back? Okay so then... NO! God hates me!"

Sorry, but that's just funny. Fortunately I'm not allowed to hedge here (US citizen)... cause I'd no doubt have tried it by now if I could have.

Last NFP i watched it drop -50 pips then gain +200, then another +200 pips. I made my money on the second +200 pip boost, patience is the key. Of course you'll loose if you jump in on the first or second direction it goes. you can obviously look at the news and see if its bad news or good news for USD that will also let you know. Just wait for the guessing game to end before opening, because what ever direction it chooses it continues to go strong.

Also you can't be greedy, get in and out!

Yeah, but I hate setting hard TPs. I'd much rather set trailing stops... but unfortunately the trading platform I use doesn't allow trailing stops to be included in pending orders. Seems like a simple thing to me.

you can use trade manager
A good trader follows his rules, but great trader knows when to break them

As I thought, the market is not ready to come down yet

Sit tight guys, 1.0 won't come easily.

{quote} you can use trade manager
My account is with MBTrading, and I use cTrader. I know that's not very common, but it's what I learned on (or AM learning, I suppose), so I hesitate switching to something else. Unless "trade manager" is something that can be added to ANY platform? (I told you... I'm pretty new. )

Sorry but what do you mean sl mean nothing? if u have a sl wouldn't the platform execute that order to stop you from losing anymore? or has there been times where it ignored your sl & the only to stop it is if you close the trade?

I've never had it happen to me yet, but it obviously happens. TONS of horror stories from the day the Swiss went insane, for instance.

Yeah, but really... how hard can it be for them to make a little programming change to allow trailing stops in pending orders?

nope doesnt matter where your sl is, you will get filled /closed at next best price or margin call depending on broker, can even end up owing more than you had in your account, if spike is nasty, pa could be many many pips past your sl and when you do get filled/closed your trade is blood red, it fuken sucks, but that is the risk you take when trading big events
this week cad is holiday so only usd release, which makes it even more uncertain
surely swiss debacle is warning enough, many accounts wiped out in a blink, some with negative balance, courts will be filled for years sorting that shit out
just not worth the risk,
