I waited until after the number was released and a clear trend was under way to sell eur/usd. I sold at .2121. Exited for +26 pips. I trade thru CMS. Sold at .2121 and the order was not executed until about 10 minutes later. Then could not place a stop as their server problems erupted for another 10 minutes. Eventulay stop was placed then moved to breakeven. Exited early with +26 pips as mentioned. Could have held longer but was concerned as Services ISM number due at 10:00 eastern USA could cause a little rally to stop me at breakeven. Well this is my story, how about yours?
