Jeff, sorry if you have answered this elsewhere (trying to look at this at work and Internet very slow) - what period is your MA/Trendline on this chart.
SMA ......the reason that I did not take the IB at 8:45 is......the market was moving very slow.....it didn't seem to want to go down.....it was just before lunch and I didn't was to screw up what had been a very good morning.

I got +30. I lost 54 ticks on the 2nd trade, before the inventory reports. I have a 15 minute pre/post news window but the trade fired 20-25 minutes before the news. How much time in front of news do you avoid trading Jeff? Also, I didn't take the reversal (going long on the short trade failure) like cunparis did because it was inside of my news window and I don't have stop and reverse capabilities coded in the strat and I'm not sure if I want to do that with the potential of taking 2 consecutive losses on the same inside bar .outside bar : the initial impulse was up, then it broke down big time. I watched the DOM as it came out, pretty amazing to watch how the spreads widened so quickly and how violently it moved.breakouts .

The news release bar was an awesome
outside bar : the initial impulse was up, then it broke down big time. I watched the
DOM as it came out, pretty amazing to watch how the spreads widened so quickly and how violently it moved.
After looking at my trades on a 5min chart all 3 winners were with-trend and my 1 loser was counter-trend, making me more interested in researching the possibilities of only trading with-trend
breakouts .
