Diamonds Trading Signals Trade Plan​

EU Interest Rate ⋯ 7:45am NY time (Thursday, March 10)

⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯​

Traded currency pairEURGBP
Initial spike duration limit30 seconds
Initial spike price action threshold12 pips
Triggering retracement percentage45 %
Retracement duration limit60 seconds
Maximum trade hold time after release20 minutes
Stop loss10 pips
Take profit10 pips
Maximum spread2 pips


  1. If between 07:45:00am and 07:45:30am, so during the first 30 seconds you see EURGBP move up or down by 12 pips or more, then enter in the direction of the initial spike at the very first 45% retracement if it doesn't take more than 60 seconds (till 07:46:00am) – 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 08:05:00am, so 20 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.

Thank you Peter
You know Arnold Sw. said: ' Make my day' well Peter in a different way/meaning you do every day when i see your signals, just love these wonderful trades each week :)
 
Excuse my ignorance if this is incorrect-I'm still learning and am TRYING to get an overall understanding of both TA and FA. Of what I've read, no change is expected in the actual rate-but that it will be what is said in the news conference that could have an effect on currencies. Is this correct?
Also, I thought the effect was going to be most pronounced in EURUSD?
If there's someplace you recommend that I could read to better understand this, I'd appreciate it-that way you don't have to spend your time "educating" this old newbie who probably should be concentrating more on basics ;) (it's just fascinating to me to see these reports effect currency rates so drastically sometimes-AND I love trying to dissect the reasoning behind it...although it seems lately, harder to correlate these fundamentals to price changes)
