200% Returns But Why October 23, 2012 Problem?

Quote from signalstop:

We have a profitable strategy that does reversion to mean, market making but it also takes into account economic news releases.

The question relates to October 23, 2012. On that morning at 8:33 am EST several high liquidity pairs experienced a sudden jump in volatility. Ordinarily that occurs due to a news release.

However, searching of online news and event calendars turns of zero explanation as to why?

The symbols such as USD/CHF, EUR/USD, and GBP/USD.

So far all events that occur have clear reasons whether it's a regular economic news release or some unplanned news announcement.

Does anyone have any idea what happened on October 23, 2012 at 8:33 AM EST?

The strategy hit the stop loss on that day which is a rarity. We wish to figure out what occurred so as to avoid in the future, if possible.

Thanks in advance for any advice, ideas, or assistance.

yes, I trade the same system although I'm no where near 200%, more like 70% plus for the year.

Must have been on the other side of that one. OCT was a very mediocre month and then one day about OCT 23 in less than a few hours a new account high.

I have strict rules to take that profit when it hits no questions asked.

Never could figure out what actually happened.
