We made quick +18 pips of profit by trading the news release today.

The signal was as follows:

Subject: June 25
To:
Cancel the pending EURUSD order.

News trade:
EURUSD Buy 1.3623 SL 1.3597 P1= 1.3648 P2= 1.3668
EURUSD Sell 1.3597 SL 1.3623 P1= 1.3577 P2= 1.3566

There was a slippage of 7 pips today therefore we collected +18 pips instead of +25 pips. The other downside of the slippage was that we had to place our stop-loss orders 7 pips closer than we would otherwise. As the result, our remaining 2 units got stopped out prematurely at break even.
