Oh Sh*t!

that's generally what the bunjip uses.

however the leverage of bunjip is probably higher then they use.

i could have tried for it to come back, but i feared further USD weakness resulting in more losses so took the hit as it was at the time.

yeah they have no leverage, it's all 500 million in cash. So to duplicate this technique using leverage is usually considered impossible!!

obviously its very difficult.

and not without its extra difficult periods.

When I first started playing the FX game a few years ago, there was a very good website which produced a downloadable text file of all the upcoming/impending news (scheduled) new announcements. It would have been quite easy to program an EA to read this file and see when announcements are due and take action accordingly.

That website doesn't exist any more; the question is, is there a website which shows in advance the schedule of announcements, and reacts quickly to new information regarding pending announcements? Each entry would have to follow some sort of convention to allow machines to read the information, e.g. NFP announcement, Non-Farm Payroll announcement, Non-Farming Payroll announcement etc will just confuse the progam (and its coder!)

GMT. we only use that one for the news trading / avoiding EA to read.

when im looking up a news calendar for my own perusal i use forexfactory, but found their page would be harder to read for a computer.

u can do nifty programming things with it: http://calendar.forex-tsd.com/index.php?p=url

another thing to consider is some kind of filter to detect unusual quietness which happens because traders wait for the announcement.
