If any of you actually tried going long before the inventory result was out - yes you could have been profitable in case it was a drawdown (which is not in actual) on the inventory as forecasted. But then it was a pure gamble not trading. Always, wait for the news to be published, opportunities will be there.
So may this loss of money help you to learn that
1. Dont predict the news, see the reaction of the price to the news, and then ..
2. Try to predict the future price based on the chart depending on how market reacted to the news
Both are probability anyways, you has a little extra odds in your favour for the later case.
BTW, I closed the rest with +18 pips and out.
