Diamonds Trading Signals Trade Plan

USA Non-Manufacturing PMI - 10:00am NY time (Monday, July 6)

--–––––————————————————————–––––--​

Traded currency pair:USDJPY
Initial spike duration limit:30 seconds
Initial spike price action threshold:12 pips
Triggering retracement percentage:40 %
Retracement duration limit:90 seconds
Maximum trade hold time after release:15 minutes
Stop loss:10 pips
Take profit:10 pips
Maximum spread:2 pips


  1. If between 10:00:00am and 10:00:30am, so during the first 30 seconds you see USDJPY move up or down by 12 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 90 seconds (till 10:01:30am) – 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 30 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 10:15:00am, 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.

Hi there. Where could I get news release figures as they come out. I haven't used the FNG client yet. I just want to try news trading manually first.

Thank you.
 
hello, if i set FNG to click both CAD and USD news, it can open two trades at the same time?
Thanks

Yes, if you can make sure that the button is there by the time of the second click and doesn't disappear before.
