Making Pips from News Trading (5) - US Non-Farm Payrolls
The Newstrader EA performance has been updated. Btw, today was the US Non-farm Payrolls day which saw a wild price swing action soon after the number was released.

Therefore, it was a good opportunity for us to check each other trading server for any differences in terms of data feed, execution time, or any kind of wild spread and stop hunting behaviour.

The results for trading the NFP news event that I received so far are as follows:

Market/ Direction: GBP/USD (Long)

Alpari server: +25 & 16 pips

Interbank FX: +25 & 7 pips

No abnormal server activity has been reported, which is a good sign for our ea trading method.

Upcoming news trading events at ScoutForex News Trading Room:

Monday - GBP PPI Input, CAD Building Permit; Tuesday - AUD Retail Sales & Home Loans, GBP Manufacturing Production, CAD Housing Starts; Wednesday - GBP Trade Balance; Thursday - AUD Employment Change, CAD Trade Balance, US Trade Balance; Friday - US Retail Sales, PPI and Consumer Sentiment

Making Pips from News Trading (4) - US ISM PMI
I) Short GBP/USD - News event: US ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI; Results: +25 & 20 pips

OMG ! We just missed out on a HUGE downside move (i.e. of more than 100 pips!). I have always used a conservative trailing stop level for the 2nd position. Thus, this time round, I only managed to squeeze an extra 20 pips on top of the first targeted 25 pips. Some did better than me, with +36 pips on the 2nd position.

Anyway, I am going to make it into a flexible strategy for the 2nd position. Soon, you can either use my default level, set your own desired level or even make it into a risk-free trade with predetermined target level.

A profit is always a profit. The news trading results for this month so far currently stands at +149 pips from a total of 4 executed news trades. To find out how to trade my news alerts via EA program, simply visit my News Trading Room for more info.

Upcoming news events:
Friday - CAD Employment Change & Ivey PMI, US Non-farm Payrolls (NFP) Job report

Release of Forex Autopilot New Version
New ForexAutopilot version is the latest released updates from Forexautopilot CEO Marcus B. Leary and his development team.
According to Marcus, the new forexautopilot boosts more effectiveness, eliminates its greatest weakness during the bearish-oriented market cycle and works exceptionally well now in both market directions. The new FAP system will not have any problems trading the downtrend like 2005 and the current market situations in 2008.

The latest changes include:

* New optimized algorithm to decrease the possible drawdowns and increase the profits
* Global MA indicator trend control feature. Now FAP works great for both bullish and bearish trends!
* Adjustable times. You can now set the exact time you want FAP to start and end trading!

Members are asked to redownload the new FAP robot from the membership page asap.

I hope to see it in real action soon and will try to compare the ea performance for both versions.
