Just for posterity/interest sake. The video has been sped up, you'll note - otherwise we'd be here all day. I guess the point of it is, you can profit from big news events and you don't always need to be lightning quick to do so. Of course, there will come a day when the market reacts in a manner which seems seems counter intuitive and will cost you money, but buying the pound when the "No" voters are winning, is about as high probability as you can hope for, as is selling FDAX when Russia invades Ukraine etc etc
