I checked this morning, and whilst the pippage is massive on those Scandinavian currencies, I must concur with Pollux, the $ value per pip is very low, I think that is why there are such huge moves? BTW, is anyone trading this afternoons (my time, ...

Ah yes, if only I was able to say that
However, how does closing at 50+ affect the overall RR on this method? Cheers HCentral Banks & Big Players
- HannesJoub replied Feb 19, 2014

Thanks Tuffy, Tony, for the replies... I guess it comes down to personal preference then, but Tony does make a compelling argument, because that is why we trade, no? Performance... Cheers everyone, enjoy your weekend. H

No body has answered my question, so I am assuming that the news trades still only relate the 9 events listed on the 1st page ? Thanks H
