Question

For example, USD/CHF min pts away is 502 and USD/CAD min pts away is 196.

There is no way I can take trade for these currencies as I need to keep watching to ensure it not reaching my initial stop loss.

Mostly due to upcoming (within ~10 mins) major economic news like NON FARM PAYROLL.

Then they last another 5-15 mins depending on volatility, as this kind of news can swing a market big time.

 

Google "economic forex calendar" to understand what's coming up ahead.

It still not change back to normal after a few days. Now,half of currency paired in my watchlist show this problem. I think it is not about the economic news but is due to some technical problem.

The observation is correct and stop distances can move during high market volatility, however in regards to the CHF the larger stop distance for times outside these periods are due to government intervention (some people read this as manipulation) and relatively recent events regarding the peg against the EUR. Due to an increased interventionist monetary policy there is a higher chance of volatility and the risks associated with that. We therefore need to push out our stop distances. 

Let me know if you need any further detail about the above.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
