Or the news is just used to manipulate price and place fear into traders causing them to take the wrong positions. Even though my sell was not triggered, my buy was triggered, I set it after I seen the H4 Inside bar close above the 20 MA.
Manipulation is the correct word to use by far. Imo news is already priced in way before the release. Big money cannot just click a button and take on billions of contracts in one swoop, they have to accumulate a position right, and that takes time, big players know information already. the swings caused by influx of retail traders during news events normally fit technical bias whatever the outcome on many occasions when a trend finally takes hold.

100% correct, price action always setups before the news, so, a nice buy signal might show on H4 before news is released, that's because, like you said, Smart money already know what is going to happen, and they have already got their positions built.

Thanks, If you scroll back a few pages there is a mention of a "random buyer spike" which was the sign to go long before the news. That spike setup the technicals on both Gold and Silver. That was a whale buying contracts no question about it. Just had wait for the retrace for a better buyers price and your in the money.

Anyway im off for a beer, next week i promise not to offend anybody

maybe. technically, daily ATR ~= 18.
i think it'll have a go at 1300 at close.
