Exactly, and for fundamental traders it's one of the most potentially profitable events so I can't see why they would want to avoid it. I can...
lol, someone else who doesn't grasp what the thread is about! No wonder they say 90% lose money.....
You're right, it is! Supposedly experienced traders giving advice like "don't trade retail", "don't use a marketmaker", "trade futures", "trade...
You have mail (well a PM anyway)
Ok, will do, I think I have a natural flair for taxidermy so maybe I'll give that a shot. Are we done now, would you like the last word...
That's nice, I'm sure you're in good company, you deserve each other. Anything constructive, no? No, ok, I understand, but thanks for your input.
You choose, whichever one makes you happy :) I take it that concludes the semi-sensible part of the conversation, it's all downhill from here....
rateesquad, just check around the Oanda forums to see what happens every NFP, perhaps you're one of the rare lucky ones or maybe you don't try to...
Sure, more times than not it's noise and is just a tradeable kneejerk, I appreciate that which is why I believe any kind of analysis prior to...
Very true! lol, I'm not quite sure how else to explain this any other way than I have done already but I'll give it a shot for those who can't...

True, I wouldn't expect my bookie to be out nobbling the favorite in the 3.30 at Epsom just because I have a bet on! Having said that,...
In essence I suppose they are! But what's wrong with that? They accept a bet and pay out when a punter wins, sounds reasonable to me.
I'm not sure anyone expects marketmakers to eat loss do they? What options does a marketmaker have to protect himself from loss when data like...
Being a Bank Holiday I could understand if it was just Friday's NFP but it's not, it's every NFP! I posted this on another forum, it about...
I don't expect any different from these types of set-ups, that's the whole point, so why trade a 30 pip spread with Oanda when you can trade a 2...
Whining? lol, who's whining, I'm just stating fact. I'm happy trading spot, I trade NFP regularly through another marketmaker without problems,...
Another NFP day and yet another farce at Oanda! Looks like Oanda have finally realized, after falling profits, that playing it fair and...
Hi clauswitz I wish I could help but I'm knee deep in FSA red tape myself and my understanding is very limited, UK legislation is a minefield!...
