How do You know if the news will be an impact?

Straddle 10 pips away, 10 pips stop, open or 20 pips limit and hope that the broker will not enter you 5 pips above your limit for the spike down to close for a loss.

I managed to win 40 pips from PPI via FXCM. My straddle script over at MT4 did not execute - I forgot to turn on "Live Trading". Oh well.. Still a good day...

I decided NOT to straddle the UK CPI... I dont know why .. perhaps I chickened out I should be more "consistent". I could have easily made 25 - 30 pips there - it was hanging around 1.8920s and my natural entry would have been 1.8900. It ...

I no longer rely on FXCM price during volatile market and uses NF (or other broker) instead. Indeed the price will freeze if its moving in your favor and very fast if against your position. In one instance (last friday), GBPUSD frooze at 1.8940s ...
