Date: Friday 23rd March 2018 Time: 12:30 UTC Today we see CAD CPI MoM. This month it is released at the same time as CAD Retail Sales, although we believe CAD CPI MoM is the most important figure, we don’t want to see a conflict with CAD Retail Sales. If our parameters trigger a trade,...

Date: Thursday 22th March 2018 Time: 09:30 UTC Early European session we see GBP Core Retail Sales MoM. This is a figure that we have previously traded, but abandoned as the reactions became less consistent. We now think this figure has become tradeable again with a large enough divergence....

Date: Thursday 22nd March 2018 Time: 00:30 UTC We see AUD Employment Change during the Asian session. We will setup Conflict Manager for AUD Unemployment Rate. As we’ve mentioned previously, AUD figures are often leaked ahead of the release, so keep an eye on the price action and hit abort if it looks as the...

Date: Wednesday 21st March 2018 Time: 20:00 UTC The RBNZ announce their interest rate decision tonight. No economists are expected a move from the RBNZ at least until 2019. We have provided trade parameters below, however we recommend skipping this figure as the likelihood of a move is very close to zero....

Date: Wednesday 21st March 2018 Time: 18:00 UTC Today we see the Fed Interest Rate Decision.

A hike of 25bps will likely see choppy action....

Date: Tuesday 20th March 2018 Time: 09:30 UTC Early European session we see GBP CPI YoY. Reactions to this figure are not always consistent, sometimes there’s a good spike, other times there’s very little. We look for a spike of around 20 pips if a trade is triggered. We will use Conflict Manager with the...

Date: Wednesday 14th March 2018 Time: 21:45 UTC This evening we see NZD GDP QoQ, we need to see a reasonable deviation for this trade to be worthwhile....

Date: Wednesday 14th March 2018 Time: 14:30 UTC Today we see the Crude Oil Inventories for the week. This figure is mainly for the futures traders. Some Forex brokers have started offering Crude Oil, so check with your broker if they have this available....

Date: Wednesday 14th March 2018 Time: 12:30 UTC This month we’re paying more attention to USD Retail Sales MoM because it’s the most important figure released at this time (often it’s released with USD CPI). This should make it a lot more straight forward to trade. Last month the market reacted to USD Retail Sales...

Date: Wednesday 14th March 2018 Time: 08:30 UTC Early European session we see SEK CPI MoM. This is a two star figure, however the last three months have been disappointing so we would caution against using large size. We’ll set Conflict Manager for the YoY figure, although it’s rare that we see a conflict between...
