Keep trying to make some time to test this system. I have to read more of the thread, but quick question: When measuring the speed, I presume that done off of the bid? I have been giving this some thought from a scalping perspective, and it might ...

vvFish, I am looking at your NU trade (beauty!!). In the few seconds before the news, the M1 candle was down and looks like it even closed at its low. It looks like you waited until the very next second on the open of the next candle, where price ...
