Maybe I should wait for technical confirmation before entering.
Either that or you can eat a 50-pipe jolt in a couple of seconds.
I'm testing demo with delayed entries after initial reaction, looking for stability in the post-news direction.
Just keep in mind that in pairs like USD/CAD, spread can be brutally opened up with news.
And watch out for oil. If you're operating CAD, don't ignore the WTI. They're super correlated.
If the crude falls, that's bassist for the CAD, and hence bullish for USD/CAD.
Some believe that only the data of interest matters, but the reaction of the dollar also depends on the global context.
