I straddled the CPI announcement last Friday and forex.com slipped me 40 PIPS!. DO NOT STRADDLE! EVER! Is that clear private?
LOL!
Seriously though ... thank the lord I did not bet big on that one. I learned my lesson. Unless you have a big stop loss 100-200 pips to ride or you have bloomberg then stay out of any trades during volatile news releases.

Good luck!
