What about spreads? — I was curious to what the spread widened to during the news release? It is already at 9 or 10 on IBFX. That had to be a huge spread for a the couple minutes during the news. Not something you would want to get into for ...

I ran it again last night on the same pair, starting at 10 pm Central time. This time I let it run until it hit the TP of 40 pips. It went to the 7th level before it took off. I think I needed to time my entry a little better, I actually entered ...
