[Mainframes]

Hi,

I was wandering what people meant when they said that they trade under normal market hours.

I've got a strategy and I want to use it most of the time....BUT I do not want to trade when:

a) The market is too slow, so my trades take a long time to be put through.
b) When the market is too volatile, so the by the time my order is put through, the price has changed (slippage).
c) During news release time (which causes all sorts of problems)

With these conditions in mind, then can you tell me when not to trade. And if this depends on which currencies I am trading, then can you tell me when not to trade which currency pairs?

Thanks
