Pepperstone Vs IC Markets Real spread widening in latest CAD news USDCAD was 18.6 versus 7.6, this spread widening is enough to trigger trades although in this case prices did move just over the 16 pips trigger set 10 seconds before news release. The citiindex demo lost 1 set of 3 trades not 2 sets of 3 trades so only one set triggered reducing losses, or did OCO work better on that broker, more research...

well done keep it up!. My news trader demo did very poorly with the whipsaw on CAD news earlier, good CPI bad retail figures. all good research while on demo best way to use EA.

yes I love the myfxbook spread monitoring helps to narrow down brokers for further research. I have been monitoring for news trading.

https://www.myfxbook.com/members/aeronthomas/news-trader-session-trader-testing/1271175I am 100% for NZDUSD next test is to go live. If you have a look at the discussion thread for that system (which is Newstrader, Session trader and High Low (you can filter trades by tag), you will see discussion around spread widening. Pepperstone seems to be one of the worst offenders so surprised you say the news trading works well with them on live? I am tempted to trial live with 0.01 lots on IC Markets I did demo with them and it was profitable but GP was more profitable so I went live with GP then f...

can you please unlock history please. If you are trying to sell an EA history should be unlocked. I notice your DEMO is on IC Markets, why not a real account on a well regarded regulated broker IC Markets real would be better. I would consider if sold on Clickbank, what out for Paypal they don't cover refunds on electronic goods like software.

Just checked ASIC Regulated XM it was 10.3 JPYUSD and 12.7 GBPUSD during FOMC. total of 23 lower than IC little higher than Tickmill. Interesting to find out about execution speed and slippage for them versus IC.

FOMC provided a good opportunity to see how spreads widened on IC, Pepperstone. Citiindex and Easy Forex have fixed spread so they didn't widen. Ic Markets vs PepperstoneEUR/USD 11.5 vs 21.9GBP/USD 19.3 vs 28.0JPY/USD 6.7 vs 16.1AUD/USD 10.0 vs 16.6In all cases the spread was higher on Pepperstone during release of FOMC, this is in the demo platform for Pepperstone, Live account for IC Markets. The next test will be slippage in live environment trading very small 0.01 lots to test the waters. Perhaps the plan will need to be to just avoid the very big news releases like FOMC and NFP to...

I have set up a demo for Cityindex.com.au and input price tolerance (ie. slippage control at 4pips). Will see if this stop trades from slippage i.e. getting poor entries however it may not close our trades also which means will have to be manually closed out or when slippage reduces (after initial news announcement momentum has faded). Interested to see what effect this will have on the strategy. the fixed spreads on cityindex.com.au are also much lower than easyforex although they don't have guaranteed stops. neither have any commissions.

Easyforex made 3,5,5 pips on the GBP trades yesterday versus this Pepperstone test where the SL of 20 kicked in (too low, easy forex was set at 36). There was potential to earn even higher but the protective setttings of locking in profits with BE in case of whipsaw took trades out on EasyForex when price continued to drop for another 47 pips (the trades also closed at 1 second before scheduled news release on Easyforex (after entering 10 seconds before), Pepperstone activated 8 seconds before and taken out 1-2 seconds after release of news.

Easyforex I am now trialing on demo. They have guaranteed SL on mt4 during news events it's 36 pips, outside news events it's minimum SL of 12.5 pips. For pending orders these must be placed 8 pips away from current price (my strategy is currently using 16 pips so that's fine). Currently been using SL of 20 or 25 will see if can cope with 36 pips, if it means less slippage and losses of 45 pips like was getting on GP with slippage. They have fixed spread also of 1.8 to 3 pips depending on account type for majors. There are no commissions or other fees (except swaps).

another lesson learnt today, AUD/USD is much hard to trade news as the liquidity it lower during asian session and whipsaw occured due to rather benign minutes from RBA. Lesson trade at reduced risk AUD news, and trade rate announcements (rather than minutes of meetings) less chance of whipsaws.

Divisafx.com is NZ regulated so wary of them, not the best reports online. Activtrades the same terrible feedback on donnaforex forum. Shortlist to try is Pepperstone, Admiral Markets Prime, FP Markets, Hotforex, Rubix.

Thanks for the info much appreciated. Yes makes sense to avoid aud and nzd or at least trade with lower risk as less liquidity in market and therefore high risk of higher slippage. I have the f version they sent me also to trial on FXPro, I thought it was f to indicate was for fixed spread accounts. I will upload on my pepperstone demo and see if it works okay. I have speech, scalper, trend and high risk settings (are those the 4 settings you speak of? Adam emailed to me a while back). had my first trade with candle high low on the daily yesterday gbpcad was a winner. will see if the 100...

thanks for the info it's much appreciated. That 53% is in a week:) Will be interesting to see how goes live. I am learning more about news trading I am posting my findings in the thread for that system. Feel free to contribute any knowledge you are finding. I am on VPS in NYC so pepperstone should work well, will give them a try. Will use your settings for the Candle High Low. I had worked out to avoid the CHF and JPN news already testing NZD and AUD still on demo but found fault today in that the NZD trades were opened on the AUDUSD pair for the NZD rate cut this morning, so didn&#...

Could you implement some sort of trailing SL with a BE trigger to lock in some of the gains I see on the Sells for EURAUD and GBPAUD 30 odd and 17 odd pips? I see other trades only went up slightly before turning around so probably couldn't have been saved... good luck

thanks Plexy:) I think your comments list is set to private not public? Can you please change as would be useful to see how both session trader EA and High Low are doing for you. I own both have been demoing Candle High Low (on M15 - no good will try on the Daily next), the Session trader is doing good, but I think the pip distance for pending orders needs to be a little bigger than 1 pip, as it can just hit and turn around fairly easily so changed to 3 for the moment, to hopefully reduce losses. I am demoing the news trading EA also on the same account but the session trader ones I have ...
