Hello
Please see my trade plan below,
NZ CPI q/q
Forecast 0.6%
Previous -0.3%
Pair to trade: NZD/USD
Numbers we need:
BUY NZD/USD 0.1%
SELL NZD/USD 0.0%
Economical Impact: High
Typical Result: Good for currency
Occurrence: Quarterly, 15 days after the quarter ends
Spike Probability: Good but, be mindful that trade has tendency to reverse after spike
About our Triggers:
NZ CPI q/q is forecasted to arrive at 0.6%.
If we get 0.1% or better I will look to enter a LONG position on NZD/USD and if we get 0.0% or lower I will go SHORT on NZD/CAD.
Should this report be triggered, we can expect to see about 30pips on the initial spike.
What is it? And why does the market care?
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in the price of goods and services from the perspective of the consumer. It is a key way to measure changes in purchasing trends and inflation.
Consumer prices account for a majority of overall inflation. Inflation is important to currency valuation because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandate
A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the NZD.
A lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the NZD.
Method I use to trade this:
Stavro D’Amore Trading Method
I will look for a 50% retracement in the original spike before entering a trade if trade falls below the 50% spike I will look to go the opposite direction as this trade is likely to reverse. I will be looking at a 15 minute chart. I will close half my position as soon as I hit the original high point of the first initial spike and place a SL at the original spike price.
NOTE: I will not take this retracement on this trade unless our triggers are hit.
My TP level would be just before a resistance level or if the chart decides to form a support level, looking at a 15 minute chart time frame to analyse this.
NZ releases are known to have latency, Should you decide to trade spike please do in caution.
