Whose straddling Fx news?

Good job on gbp.

The only good thing about is that EA is able to feel the news while it's still worth to straddle it.

Hi

Straddling is all well and good but you definitely need the right brokers to make it work, seriously restricts how much you can make with it as a long-term strategy.

Yes I have tested enough EA, now I need to do it on a live broker to see if it's still fine.
Well I'm thinking to use the same broker on demo and live and I will compare trades : )l

Today news seem good to bet weaknes usd vs. NZD or EUR.

Eur is down five waves and is possible for a three wave correction, but better opportunity nzd offers, imho.

Thank you.

Indeed, EA has detected the news @ 3.30pm and straddle EURUSD & GBPUSD.
Both long orders end up with -4 pips as News was in ZIG ZAG mode... which is obviously not good for Straddle strategy.

I entered long NZDUSD and it is going noth so far. It was a good pick vs eur or gbp.

Let's see how it goes.

NZDUSD, north, south... nothing clear at the moment... all i can tell is that it's going east for sure!

When I wrote it was 0.8690. I guess it changed it's mind :)

Market is playing with the support again.... In 2 days we have a big news for NZD (rate decision)

I'm still long with 0.8645 stop loss. Don't like the news is faded, but still on game.

If support gets broken, that will mean I will send 20 pips to heaven. May them rest in peace :)

Thanks for target info. Good points

We have some good news to trade this morning.

AUD CPI at 3.30 am & GBP at 11.30 am (broker time)

Both news will be forced to straddle with specific datetime parameters.

How silly I am... I forgot to change TP parameter for AUD news... I only closed +20 pips instead of 40.

I got +6pips positive slippage. I really need to check if it will be the same story in real.

My support broker told me that demo liquidity is based on real liquidity however, demo liquidity was higher in theory... I told them it's useless to process this way!

Thanks for remind. i look jpy good for trade today.

Straddle ready for NZD news

I exited today long possition for about +8 pips. Out of town and don't want to worry about it.
