Hi All

My first post here. I am trying to get my head around the
massive 4 minute 55pip Spike in GBPUSD - at 12pm GMT yesterday
My FF Economic calendar suggested news coming out an hour later (1pm GMT)
(Really not sure if that is what actually really caused this - news filtering out early - not sure)

Thankfully, I was not in any trade at that time - but if I had been - would have been definitely taken out
....and if I positioned in the opposite direction a minute later - would have been taken out a second time

Can anyone suggest a theory of what caused this behaovior
Thanks in advance

Hi @jsw_nz,  UK is currently on summer daylight saving hours so it's gmt +1, so you were looking at the bank of England interest rate decision and monetary policy statement. You can change the FF calendar setting to update change over automatically by clicking on the time tab in the calendar header and switch on DST.

    • 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.
