On to tomorrow. I am looking at the EUR CPI Flash, CAD & USD GDP figures, USD pending home sales & then GBP Carney speech. Is anybody else taking any of these trades? Cheers H
The US GDP can be a big mover when different from forecast...
The GDP moved over 100 pips on Dec 5th( but whipsawed 30 pips)
Pending home sales on Jan. 30 had a large disparity in forecast vs. actual but moved less than 30 pips..

Hello everyone, well done to those who made pips on NZD...

Anyone looking at the EUR in 20 mins?

Let us have a look at what happens. I forgot about a Dad / Son weekend that starts this afternoon ZA time, so I will be missing the CAD, GBP & USD news this afternoon Next time...

Stay well, will update with results of the EUR trade.

PS Anyone straddling?

Cheers

Okay, what a ride, thanks again Tony. Took a long on EAUD and managed to squeeze out 70 pips. I nailed the SL to price when I saw the quick move up. Price may retrace a bit and continue on its way up, but, I don't care didn't think I'd ever say that... hehehe.

Phew...
