In my opinion too much has been said that has not been adequately researched on the negative effects of News Trading and 10points3.

I have no wish to get into a debate over this subject, I have formed my own opinions from forward testing and have outlined them above, it is up to the individual to decide on their own course of action in regard to all aspects of using any Expert Advisor.
