DTS - Tue, Jan 22 2013 - USA Existing Home Sales 10:00am

[Peter O]

Hello Fellow Traders,

Here are Diamonds Trading Signal after-spike trade plan parameters for this release:

USA Existing Home Sales > 10:00am NY time

Traded currency pair	:	EURUSD
Initial spike duration limit	:	1 minute
Initial spike price action threshold	:	10 pips
Triggering retracement percentage	:	38 %
Retracement duration limit	:	15 minutes
Release effective duration	:	60 minutes

Trade plan for Diamonds Trading Signal:

1. Open 1-minute or more detailed EURUSD chart and draw a horizontal trend line at the prerelease price level - where the price is right before the announcement.
   
   
2. Identify the 1 minute spike. If price moves dominantly in one direction and price change is more than 10 pips then it's a significant spike and we go on with trade plan otherwise don't trade this release.
   
   
3. Wait for the 38% retracement for 15 minutes. If price doesn't hit 38% retracement during that time then don't trade this release. Otherwise enter the market in the direction of the spike, and set the stop loss below the prerelease level by 3 pips for a buy trade and by 3 pips above for a sell. Take profit will be at the same distance in pips from open price as the stop loss (our risk reward ratio is 1).
   
   
4. At 11:00am NY time - that is 60 minutes after the release time - check whether stop loss or take profit has triggered. If neither and trade is in positive then either close it or move stop loss to break even. If it's in negative then close the position.

Dear Peter,

we really do not know yet what is the use of FNG, is it a source of news! That is all?

Thank You
