Yes it was trade balance. I lost on GBPUSD (one order), on EURUSD (one order) and USDCHF (one order as well).
And 4 orders are still opened now: one for EURUSD, one for USDCAD and two for USDJPY.
I will never trade again US trade balance (with EA, not manualy...).
Why ?
-- > just look at Historic Charts : Trade Balance always have a pre-release price retracement. Its always like that.
Or i will advance my news time about 2 min later... i need to evaluate...

Well, I lost 45 pips due to the whipsaws on GBPUSD. Unfortunately I had a tight initial order gap (10 pips) and also 10 pips grid distance. So the first spike triggered two orders but no one reached the TP level. The second buy order took out the SL within a couple of seconds. A little later the first buy order also took out the SL and triggered a sell order. Then came the second whipsaw and the sell order took out the SL again. It was as bad trade as possible.
Lesson learnt:
Any further advice would be appreciated.
Questions:
Hope someone knows the answers.
Happy trading.
Ok...
GBP Claimant Count Change wasn't for me (because already priced...)
I will just try to explain how i use/test NewsTrader.
- I take position between 3 to 5 min before news.
- I use it only for big movers.
- I only catch big movement (min OrderStep=15/20).
- 3 Min after the news, if no trade, i close all.
- TP between 20 to 40 pips
Regards.
war plan :-)

They are all level 3. all have an average of 30 pips objectives.

What do you think about Bernanke Speaks?
I think you should see how Trailing Orders works.
