Thanks guys, and Darren, I thoroughly agree. Just stay cool when you pay rent, know the next nice M5 S2 into an M1 is just around the corner!

Thanks Darren, I just wish I was there to take this one and not analysing in hindsight! Especially as my day ended down, two non-starters and a bit of rent to finish. As said before by a man wiser than I am, "sigh"

Hi again,
Just wondering if anyone has a reliable and thorough source/record of those news releases that occur two minutes before the time listed on Forex Factory? I had a short running on GU this evening and had a news plan for 8:30, but was caught out unawares with the 8:28 release. Wasn't a bad outcome but certainly made me think about having an accurate time for releases. Thanks in advance!

Edit: A great example of the benefits of converting to the free trade and following the higher time frame... just didn't quite get there in this instance:

And something new, I've set up an MT4 demo account with seed push alerts for a few pairs on M15 and H1, so let's see how that goes:

Ah the Seed Bud! i'm excited to see this in your journal. Its a simply concept. If you can trade all the HPT S1's of M1 on M15 why bother with m1... aye... but M1 is M1.

cheers
