Traded currency pairUSDCAD

Initial spike price action threshold10 pips
Triggering retracement percentage40 %
Retracement duration limit40 seconds
Maximum trade hold time after release15 minutes

  1. If between 08:30:00am and 08:30:15am, so during the first 15 seconds you see USDCAD move up or down by 10 pips or more, then enter in the direction of the initial spike at the very first 40% 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 10 pips, and set take/profit at 10 pips immediately.

  2. If the move either up or down was less than 10 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.
