QUOTE(andrewcha @ Apr 16 2015, 09:29 AM) IMHO gbp got Friday news. After Tuesday incident of long usd during news i suggest stay out or see carefully. I hardly follow fundamental in the end kena sapu kao kao. really have to look carefully If you are profitable without news, then skip it, no point risking, (ps: use pending orders on BOTH sides to catch a sure 30 pips, why risk when you can safely net some pips?  )

QUOTE(oreomambo @ Apr 16 2015, 10:32 AM) Don't get hit by the fundamental bus. The spike could hit your SL if it wasn't in your expectation. Your broker should have event calendar. Even apps too for android. thank you. was really get hit hard on usd Tuesday evening. everything i trade all kena sapu 100+pips.

However, nowadays, 30 pips bracket is also kinda risky if at the wrong side..gotta expand further.

This is the disadvantage. But maybe you are a pro already that can trade on naked chart.

I don't understand. Time announcement is 1030 but why results is already out? Gain a 50+pips here btw. This unemployment change is the data of no people working or people get back to work? Why lower number is better? Sorry as I post this kinda thing here. Trying to learn and establish myself here also.

Notice that the spread is harmful to SL. half more month to go..

Not really sure myself but I think it's because the actual numbers is better than forecast numbers even though is lower than the previous one. I usually refer to forexfactory.com if i'm not sure what the news is about. [URL=  QUOTE(andrewcha @ Apr 16 2015, 10:51 AM) So the DST should be On or Off? Turn off the DST on settings.
