I opened a short position at 1.1230 because there's a doji candlestick on the four-hour time-frame at that level. My target is 1.1200.
That's correct a doji.... but what makes a doji a doji?!

price started...goes up...goes down and is ending at ore around the started price (with long tails)
So the market is in indecision at the moment. Because of this indecision I think you need more information then just a doji for being bullish or bearish (with an edge).

my 2 cents....
You can manage risk, but you can't manage the return

That doji is very dodgy.

{quote} When I said that I never traded the news I never traded indeed. Than I said I don't take any positions ahead the news and I didn't Lately I'm trading the news with OCO orders Take care! {quote} I give up ZR not because it wasn't profitable, just because I've studied other strategies more profitable LOL
How does OCO orders react to big spikes? Do you place orders above/under spike range expectations?

{quote} How does OCO orders react to big spikes? Do you place orders above/under spike range expectations?
The movement is very quick:
- hardly get the colors on the calendar timely;
- you cannot fill the order, your broker's platform sometimes doesnt reacts;

So you need pending orders, they have more chances to be filled up on sudden moves. (when you manually can, you already lost the momentum)
You're not even able to "read" the direction by FF calendar colors, red/green,
because they are somehow delayed as well. (when they show up, you already lost the momentum)

At the big data releases I expect more than 30 pps up or down. So OCO enframes the start time with some 15 pps. up and down
I put TP/SL at another 15pps not more, because the rate use to go on unexpected swing movements on such events.

Spectacular GB PMI ...no move!!! Theresa May's speech killed the traders nerve ?!
All nice PMI and stuff. USA I mean.
But i have bit of hesitation to open short. May close around 1.120x and buy. Don't ask why  
It's just a dangerous day. Hate these days and RB. And my job.

Beware of robber banks (RB), bad advisors.
