Normally when u trade the news, about 1-2 minutes before the news launch ur broker will increase the spread to protect themselves.

So it is not wise to take a position right b4 the news (especially the big one) unless it is pretty obvious u are 90% correct about the direction.

Why it is not wise?
1. Spread are larger
2. Market can go 100-200pips up/down, & if u are at the wrong side = pray.

For big news(Except Non-farm payroll),

1. If the numbers come out is VERY WAY out expectation, then u will see the market react instantly within 1sec & move at least 100-200 pips afterward.
2. If the numbers come is lower/higher than expectation. Normally it will take 15-30minutes for the market to react.
3. If the numbers come out is just a fraction/same from the expectation. Normally the market will not move much.

Warning: this is just my personal observation. There are not necessary right.

As for the big move that the euro made yest, Just like what I said b4 days & weeks ago, euro is overbought, a better than expected USD news can push the euro down REALLY hard.

hello. i'm trying to trade forex, but until right now, I havent got any profit. Please share any information. Thank you.

Let's say you use 400:1 leverage, so 1lot = 25pips,
