Hey Folks:

We've got several high impact news releases scheduled for this week, and the most important ones are probably what's scheduled at the end of the week, namely the 2nd releases of quarterly GDPs from both UK and U.S.

Here's the list of this week's tradable releases:

1. Tue February 22, 2011 - 8:30am EST - CA Core Retail Sales
Historical Chart & Data

2. Wed February 23, 2011 - 4:30am EST - UK MPC Meeting Minutes
Historical Chart & Data

3. Wed February 23, 2011 - 10:00am EST - U.S. Existing Home Sales
Historical Chart & Data

4. Thu February 24, 2011 - 10:00am EST - U.S. New Home Sales
Historical Chart & Data

5. Fri February 25, 2011 - 4:30am EST - UK Revised GDP q/q
Historical Chart & Data

6. Fri February 25, 2011 - 8:30am EST - US Prelim GDP q/q
Historical Chart & Data

Aside from the above mentioned releases,we do have several breaking news developing as I am writing this post, and they are: Moody's just cut Japan's sovereign rating outlook to negative, a 6.3 magnitude Earthquake just hit ChristChurch NZ, and the situation in Syria is likely taking a turn for the worse... all of these are likely to affect the Forex market in addition to scheduled news releases, therefore I'd recommend that everyone use extreme caution and pay attention to any developing breaking news from the Middle Eastern region and the earthquake damage report from New Zealand.

Thank you,

Thanks 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 update this based on news listed in the FPA calendar and then update every week shortly 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 :)

Hope this helps,

Huwee.
