Summary
Back in the good old days nearly 10 years ago now we used to be able to trade news announcements with laser accuracy and pretty much guarantee a profit. However as volatility contracted and brokers started to widen their spreads this particular way of trading died a death. Fast forward to present day in 2014 and this strategy is back. There have been a few tweaks but with the introduction of a new type of broker we are now able to trade news announcements again with a high degree of accuracy and in this webinar Alex is going to show you how. Imagine knowing exactly when a trade is going to occur and having a quiet confidence that it will make you money, well that is exactly what your trading could be like if you learn the strategy Alex is going to teach in this webinar.yLatest Live Videos
