	Traded currency pair	:	USDJPY
	Initial spike duration limit	:	15 seconds
	Initial spike price action threshold	:	8 pips

1. If between 08:30:00am and 08:30:15am, so during the first 15 seconds you see USDJPY move up or down by 8 pips or more, then enter in the direction of the initial spike at the very first 35% retracement if it doesn't take more than 40 seconds (till 08:30:40am) – and if spread is at 2 pips or less. Set stop/loss at 8 pips, and set take/profit at 8 pips immediately.
   
   
2. If the move either up or down was less than 8 pips during the first 15 seconds, then the actual number of the report did not generate sufficient interest in the market, and you simply skip the trade.
   
   
3. If by 08:45:00am, so 15 minutes after the report release, neither your stop/loss nor your take/profit points were hit, then close the trade automatically at market price of the time.
