Diamonds Trading Signals Trade Plan

UK Retail Sales - 4:30am NY time (Friday, February 20)

--–––––————————————————————–––––--​

Traded currency pair:GBPUSD
Initial spike duration limit:15 seconds
Initial spike price action threshold:12 pips
Triggering retracement percentage:35 %
Retracement duration limit:40 seconds
Maximum trade hold time after release:10 minutes
Stop loss:10 pips
Take profit:10 pips
Maximum spread:2 pips


  1. If between 04:30:00am and 04:30:15am, so during the first 15 seconds you see GBPUSD move up or down by 12 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 04:30:40am) – 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 12 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 04:40:00am, so 10 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.

hello peter ..
thanks a lot for your awesome work and generosity .. it really helps us a lot .. may god bless you !!
i have one little doubt if you could plz clarify .. you are giving the signal for UK retail sales but in FNG client the news is for Core Retail sales i came to this conclusion seeing the previous news values in FNG .. so could please clarify how to trade this news and what deviation to keep ..
 
Thank you Peter for the trading opportunities you so kindly give us.

Have a great w/end :)
 
damnnn! I am wasting all my trading opportunities to FXPRO requotes and deviation ****s.
When i panic order (this time buy buy buy and only entered aftr the price established!) i already had wasted more than 40 pips..

Can someone please tell me a broker that works for this?

Thanks
