Upcoming Signals Overview (December 13 ~ 17, 2010)

[Henry Liu]

Hello Folks:

As we approach the end of the year, market liquidity has reduced visibly and characterized by wild swings during recent sessions. Therefore, it is very important to use caution when trading between news releases as any surprise news may have exaggerated impact... This is likely to continue until early part of next week, then market should slip into a range until 2011.

Here's a list of news that we are going to be trading this week:

1. Tue Dec. 14, 2010 4:30am EST - UK CPI y/y
Historical Chart & Data

2. Tue Dec. 14, 2010 8:30am EST - US Core Retail Sales m/m
Historical Chart & Data

3. Tue Dec. 14, 2010 2:15pm EST - US FOMC Rate Decision
Historical Chart & Data

4. Wed Dec. 15, 2010 8:30am EST - US Core CPI m/m
Historical Chart & Data

5. Thu Dec. 16, 2010 4:30am EST - UK Retail Sales m/m
Historical Chart & Data

...and some untradable news releases...

Like I said before, market is going to slow down for the holidays and new year. I'd recommend to start lowering your Take Profit levels as we may not see a trending market.

Thanks,

The NZD retail sales is quite tradable. Why isn't it on the list?

Thanks for your hard work Henry !

Folks,

I've put together a Google Calendar of Henry's tradable news releases which you can add to your iPhone or your own Google Calendar. This gives you the following:

1. Translates the time into your local timezone
2. Allows you to see your personal appointments alongside when the news releases are happening
3. And if you have a Google Calendar account - notifications to your mobile phone via SMS (for free!)

Instructions (you only need to add this once and it will appear every week)

Adding to iPhone:

1. Send an e-mail to your iPhone with the e-mail body of "webcal://www.google.com/calendar/ical/06nlopqpjr7nnehhgc99igak6k%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics" (without the quotes and remove the extra space before the '.com')
2. On your iPhone, open the e-mail and click on the link.
3. When prompted "Subscribe to the calendar: 'Henry Liu's Trading Signals'?", click "Subscribe".
4. Open your calendar and it will say "The Calendar 'Henry Liu's Trading Signals' has been added"
5. Click "Done".

Adding to your own Google Calendar and setting SMS notification (see accompanying screenshots attached):

1. Log into your Google calendar and go to "Other Calendars"
2. Type in "06nlopqpjr7nnehhgc99igak6k@group.calendar.google.com" (without the quotes and the .com should be one word - you'll need to remove the space)
3. Now click on the drop-down for your newly added calendar "Henry Liu's Trading Signals". Click on "Calendar settings"
4. Click on the tab "Notifications". Fill in the reminders you'd like - E-mail, SMS and Pop-up.

If you don't see "SMS" as a drop-down option, you need to configure the settings for your mobile phone in Google. Go to your "Settings" (top right) and choose "Mobile Setup" or check Google Calendar Help.

I'll try to update this calendar every week after Henry releases his weekly review, so you should only need to add the calendar once and from there on you'll get reminders every week to help you trade successfully

Hope this helps,

Huwee.
