Has anyone else of you experience with Oanda? I was watching the advanced gdp a few minutes ago and wanted to get used to the fxtrade platform. fxtrade was opened on a live account mt4 is oanda's demo feed. I am curious because they haven't really been in synch during the news time with the demo feed being faster AND spiking. Is this really just a matter because one is their demo feed and the other on live or does it really matter what platform we use to trade from? {image}
I am with oanda and from my experience i can tell that , yes, demo feed and live feed are different.

Who would trade the NZD intrest rates at 23:00? Oppinion? Is it worth while?

Hi.
This is simple method.

1. You look at Forex Factory Calendar for major news.
2. You analyze it or not but make decision about direction of news (up, down)
3. 1 minute before news you open position in direction you've decided before.
4. You put Stoploss around 20 pips and Take profit 120 pips (or without TP)
5. Pray
6. Pray harder.
7. If you were wrong you lost 20 pips stoploss, if you were right you collect pips for next pipsolottery
8. Calming down. Heart rate slowing down to 200.
9. You wonder why you forgotten to put SL order. "Was that without SL or TP?".
10. You think "next time will be better" and you get experience.

Hi,

you miss some points, like

After 1, befor the 2. --> 1.5 point : PRAY
After 2, before 3. --> PRAY

:-) :-) :-)

So Donquixote, we try to catch the direction and we open position before the news.
There are poeple how do it for expert (like me) , others do it with pending orders and others open and pray for the good direction.


Yesterday I withdraw my money , I left FXTM because of the slip and I opend an own account in LCG. I'll show the result on course in my trade explorer when the new acc will be ready. I hope today I can make the deposit and I hope, that I can catch the oil at 16:30. Good luck to all for the GBP news at 10:30!

Forex is like extremists religion.
You talk to it, you pray, you promise, you know better. Also have evil (banks, brokers) but we never hear anything back.
We have to believe that we all move market, that price will go into forex heaven which is 2000 pips away up.
In Tony's method of trading I feel like Blade (Wesley Snipes) hunting for vampire news-pips.

Yeah, baby, yeah - kill'em all.

Mr. HOPS - please explain your way of analysing.

I look at previous releases and combine it with price movements years back. My winrate for last few months is 100%. Today i was first time wrong but had no much time to look at.

Hello Monterson!

I don't analize, I have an expert, what open opsitions befor the news, it open a long & short, put 10-12 pips SL to the positions.
IF the merket goes up, hit the sl of the sell position and I hold the long. If the market fall hit the sl of the long.
IF the sl hit, the expert take sl buy / sl sell order to tha place, where my other position is open. So I'm in hedge before of the news and i'm in hedge if the market oscillating in little range, but if it's go i earn.
I don't want to find the good direction, I want to find the volatility only.

If you want, pls send me a mailaddres in private and i'll send to you my expert and you can try it.

Thank you my friend.

I love to trade manually. More fun.

I am a swing trader anyway.

I bet you don't trade any news but only most important ones?
I keep list of news and analyse them regularly.
