Hi Alan, thanks for taking the time to reply. I thought as much, this is the first time that this has happened and otherwise the EA is working as desigened. So I figured that the problem is with the market and the broker. Cheers H

Hi Pipkiller, thanks for the time taken to reply, and for the concise advice that you give, I definitely need to incorporate this into my trading... As for reading the news headlines, to be blunt, I would read them, and still not realise that they ...

I'm going on CAD manufacturing sales & USD building permits & core CPI, as well as the CAD & GBP speeches later on. I am busy building up a DB (for myself, yes I am re-inventing the wheel ) of what to trade and what not to. H
