i would recommend you do this on a live account, even if it means you are doing on mini lots. Live and Demo are totally different while news trading.

How nice to know folks like Hanover exist and are active on FF. I would pay to read the guy's responses. Your reasoning above makes great sense. Thanks again.

i get what you're saying. However, this is a common problem not just with your thread , but with everything here on FF. Every new idea/method/strategy by a new person is immediately shot down by the people with the "V"s . I think people need to be a ...

I know that is your recent observation, but has Oanda announced that as well? it would add to the credibility of that statement if Oanda also did. They could very well go back to wide spreads next week or next news release, who knows.
