That's right. I don't recommend you trade those ones with 'N', mainly due to them not being considered to be that important at the moment. For example, when there was more QE starting, then CPI was not that important but now the US is moving slowly towards tightening, now CPI is hugely important.

You all can improvise with this currency meter indicator, pending when CSM comes back to life. Can be attached to any pair and timeframe

Hi, Alan!
Something really strange happened to me today during UK's CPI.
The AmazingEA was set to PointsAway=100, STWAN=2.
I'm almost sure I saw the sell order get triggered, but no trade in the history center and in the journal there's nothing about the sell order after the news minute started, not even anything about it getting deleted by the EA (attaching the log).
I also checked the movement of the bid price on "fast economic news" calendar and on FXCM ticks. It seems that the sell order HAD to trigger!
Do you have any idea what could have happened? Can this be that my broker simply ignored the order?

Hi there. I tried it myself by simulating the issue by putting AmazingEA.. as the TradeLog. Yes it gives Wrong File Name error, but that just stops the EA from writing to the Log File. The EA can still trade

The Wrong File Name issue is because of the 2 periods. Short of giving you a special version with the code changed there isn't a way round it.

But your broker should sort out their currency symbols in the first place.

Any EA that places the Currency Symbol in the Log File Name would have the same issue.

who made profit with US core retail sales on a pair other than EU. I'd actually love to hear from those that did a buy on GU

my EU buy had an entry slip of 26 pips, & I ended up closing the trade @ a loss

Thanks Alan. As you said ea opened trades despite that error First time i had wroten wrong date time so ea couldnt place trades now it is ok.

I had 5 pip slippage also on cable long with US Core retail sales but booked 25 pips.

It's a Mystery ! Ring FXCM and ask them. They are quite helpful when it comes to this kind of thing !

  • Jul 15, 2015 3:39am Jul 15, 2015 3:39am
Just a crazy but not so crazy thought in my head:

Is there a way one can access or have a look @ his broker's liquidity for currency pairs (and use together with CSM), in analyzing a pair's direction with more liquidity, to trade the news

Was thinking if there was a way I could have seen the buy liquidity on EU was low prior to US core retail sales, and probably switched to GU

I really need your comments guys

trust me 19 pips could be normal (tolerable) provided the news spiked well

hellow alan
in your list of the tradeble news, the names of the news are not the same as the FF Calender's. so I made a comparison (just for the "y" ones),
so if you like to glance and tell if it is correct (especially the Official Bank Rate of the EUR).
thank you a lot for everything
