Hi Grant , I saw Red news on GBP but not Eur , then next been 3.0 Red US News ? ( Forex Factory )

[Grant]

Hi Michael,

Yes next red news in US at 1500 UK time...

With regard to the UK red news i still stand aside as the UK is still part of the EU and so it may still affect the volatility to some extent....

There are other very good traders i know who will only stop if the red news is in the country of the currency that they are trading, so in this case would have still taken that trade.

cheers
Grant

2nd Trade of the day , By Monday will be trading direct off the chart , currently using my longer term CFD platform, and to manually get the trade ticket to change stop loss takes too long stopped at -12 whilst trying to move s/l . Scalping certainly needs to be carried out directly from the chart you are working off

You have your settings to allow you to trade towards the purple line?

I never got the dot on my screen.

Hi Richard
On the screen right click , and open indicators list, click on AIMS ENTRY V5 , change setting on Filter Purple from True to False

And defeat the purpose of v5

Hi Immy , I thought the option was to put the dot back on if you wanted to use it as an exit , as dot to dot , not as a entry to the purple.

And defeat the purpose of v5

That is why I was asking the question. If Michael had this turned on he wouldn't have made the trade and lost -12pips.
