I have this sneaky feeling in my toe that you just might know what you're doing while I fart about in Myopia grappling with my fundamentals.I tend to trade with a lopsided bemused expression, you seem to be doing it with a smile.
Not to mention a little panache, like the one Poirot wears.

well done.

But not in forex. That's in another market. My question is:-

What is the number of consecutive wins you've ever had? I will also start a separate thread for this in a moment. I am currently at 45.

And I know it doesn't matter. Please just humour me!

Import Prices and Retail Sales are coming out of the U.S in 8 hours. The Core Retail Sales, also known as Retail Sales Less Autos, is going to be the main number. Most consensus on this report fall in between 0.4% to 0.6% range, 0.5% being the average.

If this number comes out at 0.8% or higher, it would be good for the dollar short-term. If this number comes out at 0.2% or lower, it would be bad for the dollar short-term. If this report goes against the market sentiment that develops during London Session, that may mean a quick move of 20 pips or so. If this report goes together with the market sentiment, and there are not too many conflicts on the import prices and headline retail sales, then we may see a move of as much as 40 pips. Where the price is at before the report will play a big difference.

The GBPUSD will be the main mover so depending on my view if things pan out I may go short a few minutes before and that could see a move of 70+ pips. The view above is based on the EURUSD.
