Chicago PMI stole the thunder. Everybody expected a low ISM number since yesterdayand dollar sold off. Now big boys will be waiting for tomorrowa NFP.

US ISM report Feb 1

NZD had fallen freely in last 24 hours. If the trade balance is worse than expected, it may not fall much. However, if the trade balance is much better it may be quite a good trade.

Looking at the price action today, it seems that traders are expecting no rate hike with somewhat dovish statement.

NZD Interest Rate Statement

Both my long and short order was triggerred (fortunately in two different accounts). I got +17 pips on my short order and had to wait for 30 minutes to book +5pips on the long order too!

BK, quarterly NZD employment report and RBNZ interest decision could be two good additions to your list

I think henceforth it's too risky to trade this news at 10AM since it's already known to other guys 15 minutes earlier and surely they will spread the news.

Michigan Consumer Sentiment

It's strange. Dollar is not responding to positive surprises.

Despite strong US numbers today dollar is down across the board and Kiwi is benefitting from that despite poor retail sales data. Somehow I managed +6pips from this with NZD/USD. I think with AUD/NZD it could have been a better trade.

NZD Retail Sales Jan 18

I booked +15 with one broker(limit order) and +22 with another with auto-click. I think I should have let the profit run a little more.

AUD Employment report

My newstrading with auto-click feature didn't work with FXCM for both CAN and NFP employment report. However, I switched to OANDA for NFP and bagged around 50 pips using auto-click.

NFP report

Hi Rob, Do you expect a breakout in EUR, GBP to the downside now?

NFP report

got in at .7069 out at .7074 for just +5 pips. I think BK's idea (sell +15 and buy -15) is good, but we need to know the numbers before jumping in because one out of four times it moved by 30 pips.

Problem with Broker

Exactly that's what I want to tell everybody. The order was a limit order that I placed on Friday (Dec 29) morning. Then I was just late by one minute to remove my order by 4PM EST on Friday and I agree it was my fault not being able to remove it by ...

Problem with Broker

It's true. However, so long as your orders are not executed, you should be able to change the orders. Oanda always allows that. Secondly after their dealing desk opened at 2AM, they didn't allow to change the orders or remove it until they execute ...

Problem with Broker

They recently sent me an e-mail informing that within January 2007 they will send most of the customers to the no dealing desk (NDD) platform. I do not know when my turn will come. With the dealing desk option at least there is no slippage for entry ...

Got in at .6972 out at .6958 for only +14 pips before i could see the actual news. It's bad I could make 10 pips more! since there was very limited retracement, I jumped in again and out with +5 pips.
