hey pip,

yeah...not sure about that but thats why its important to always be on top of your trades. i have cnbc on all day and also use a news program which alerts me on important breaking news.

if i'm in a position when relevant news is coming out either i'll close out my position before (expecially when i'm already in a profit) or be ready to lock in my gains (or cut my losses) right then and there when the news comes out.

one thing i learned a while ago is that you never go broke taking a profit. better to be safe then sorry. some of these news events you just dont know where the currency is going to go. i usually try to stay away from them.

good luck.
