FNG Configuration for UK Manufacturing PMI - 4:28am NY time

 

[DJG]

Peter , did you forget to include the FNG configuration for the UK manufacturing PMI or did you leave it out ?

 

[paliacho]

It was nice trade for selling GBP/USD I made my own config on FNG

 

[Peter O]

I won't post UK's PMIs FNG plan for a (little) while because FNG server gets it only at 4:30am NY time and it's a bit risky for you to enter 2 minutes later. As soon as we manage to grab release figure at its time I will send you FNG plans for both UK Manufacturing and Services PMI.
