I know I've been mentioning a lot about FX Engines the last week but there is nothing yet to disprove the usefulness of this platform yet. I will be trading the news live tomorrow. To give some of you a preview who have not yet looked into it, here is what they recommend tomorrow. Note that this recommendation can really only be traded using their platform but it may give you some insight on what kind of volatility we are looking at and what to watch out for.
RETAIL
SALES/PPI/BUSINESS INVENTORIES
Multiple events at a single time can be tricky
news trades, so plan carefully.
Our analysis of
the Retail Sales release shows that this trade reaches a high
of 51 pips on average, with a trade tipping point near 40. However,
keep in mind that this release also highlights PPI and Business
Inventories. A lot of news can cause the market to pause and
potentially reverse. It doesn't take a lot to do well with a news
trade, so we recommend a conservative approach to this trade, with
three long orders and three short orders as follows:
- Instant Spike Long & Short with New York
12 exit
- Normal Spike Long & Short with Las Vegas
12 exit
- Reserved Spike Long & Short with Moscow
12 exit
Set your entry timeout to 4 minutes and watch the
trades unfold. Your exits are automated, but if you see a big spike
don't be afraid to change the exit to a more aggressive profit
target.
All of these orders may not trade, depending on
price action. If you want to be a bit more aggressive, extend the
timeout to 8 or 12 minutes to trade a potential reversal.
