Thanks, we plan to. Camping out on the school grounds, watching some Rugby this evening (Super 15), playing some rugger tomorrow all with a nice BBQ in the middle. With a winning trade like that, all is well Cheers H

Okay, what a ride, thanks again Tony. Took a long on EAUD and managed to squeeze out 70 pips. I nailed the SL to price when I saw the quick move up. Price may retrace a bit and continue on its way up, but, I don't care didn't think I'd ever ...

Erm, was the news leaked early again??? EUR seems to be moving quite a bit now...

Hello everyone, well done to those who made pips on NZD... Anyone looking at the EUR in 20 mins? Let us have a look at what happens. I forgot about a Dad / Son weekend that starts this afternoon ZA time, so I will be missing the CAD, GBP & USD news ...

Central Banks & Big Players

On to tomorrow. I am looking at the EUR CPI Flash, CAD & USD GDP figures, USD pending home sales & then GBP Carney speech. Problem is, the USD, CAD and GBP events are really close to one another, so I will have to make a call... perhaps long GBPU ...

Central Banks & Big Players

Well, as anticipated, stopped out @ +23pips. Price can do what it wants now... H

Central Banks & Big Players

Okay, time for chow...SL set to +23 pips. That with the short gives me 34 pips on this news event. Not fire works by any stretch of the imagination, there was absolutely no violent movement that I expected, especially from Yellens testimony. But ...

Took profit on the UJ short hedge 10 pips...long still at BE H

Central Banks & Big Players

WTF am I doing? Both positions are in the green, so both are set to SL, now, let's hope that there is no whipsaw H PS also tried the Oanda website, nothing...Tony might just freak given their GBP spread debacle last week...

Central Banks & Big Players

Still open on UJ Long with Yellens speech coming up, so, I have hedged... just in case, because the current price action is making me nervous...I reckoned that seeing as I am already in profit on my long, the hedge to the short side may just be a ...

Central Banks & Big Players

SL set @ 11.5 pips on UJ Long. I need to have a trade end in the green folks, for my sanity Price seems to be stalling, so it can go either way I 'spose. Cheers H

Central Banks & Big Players

@ Mightyfine & Moonie... Good to see I am not alone in these trades Target on the Unemployment claims? Or are you thinking to leave it open to run in case Yellen's speech sends the USD on a Bull run? Dunno, I see space until 102.5 (hold ...

Central Banks & Big Players

Open long @ BE on UJ at the moment....

Central Banks & Big Players

Although....Yellens speech could possibly yield better results? Consensus? H

Central Banks & Big Players

Anyone trading the USD Unemployment today? I am looking at it... Will post when done. Cheers H

Central Banks & Big Players

Okay, I have scanned through the thread (post 8490 etc), and I find the following (remember, this is the original strategy / method): 1) Always buy / go long, 2 minutes before news is released, with SL in place (SL's recommended on 1st page) 2) That ...

Central Banks & Big Players

Hi Moonie, thanks for the reply. The way I understood it from the first page flyer thingy is to make a Market BUY order 2 mins prior to news coming out. Which, if we were to always go long USD, would mean that we should be shorting EURUSD or do I ...

Central Banks & Big Players

Hey Moonie...hang on a bit, did I misunderstand the original rules??? Are we to always buy EU, no matter what news comes out, and you with your changes to the strategy, are then trading opposite direction on the pair that has USD and the currency ...

Central Banks & Big Players

And GBP comes back to my entry point, so, I closed out to early, in a loss. Aw man...this feels terrible. H

Central Banks & Big Players

Would GBP news have an effect on EURUSD?? That's just wrong... H
