there is a gentlemen from a yahoo metatrader group who is currently building an EA that will avoid news time, using the FF calendar. we made a special file for him to use. when the EA is done i will make sure it gets posted here.

Not to trade to NEWS EA!

LOL yeah everybody was sick of him bitching and booted him out! LOL

FOMC Jan 31

btw, we added a new feature to the calendar, if you click on the detail view next to FOMC event you will see there a link to the official release page. on this page you will find the statement as soon as it is posted by the fed.

FOMC Jan 31

well, this did indeed happen, although i wouldnt call the ECI "strong", but it certainly wasnt weak. if we get an "surprise" rate hike today then everything i think i know about Ben Bernanke is wrong

FOMC Jan 31

US Durable Goods Jan 26

hey btw, how do you guys like the new revision feature on the calendar? we built that for you guys!

US Durable Goods Jan 26

durable goods orders were positive, including revisions, yet dollar is weakening. my guess is this is the positioning for the housing numer coming in an hour, a strong number there should rocket the USD.

US Durable Goods Jan 26

ive seen a few high estimates this week, definetely feels like the market expects something big tomorrow. so you know i will be looking to short dollars on a bad number btw, the new home sales release is going to be a huge one, so that may effect ...
