If both come out in the same direction and beyond the “forecast” far enough – a good trade may be the order of the day.

I did not enter a trade last month with this report – there was a good trigger and there was no conflict.

Tomorrow, Thursday, 05-24-12 at 8:30 AM ET, the Census Bureau will release the monthly reports USD Core Durable Goods Orders MoM and USD Durable Goods Orders MoM.

I did not enter a trade last month with this report – there was a good trigger and there was no conflict.

My last “follow up” post concerning these USD reports was on Tuesday, 05-01-12, click here for a review.

Disclaimer:

I have discontinued news currency trading since I do not know the political bent of the reporting agencies – world wide economic problems have put political leaders in a very powerful position – so, take each news report with a “grain of salt”

I will continue recording the news reports.

Here is how the reports for this month are set up:

USD – Core Durable Goods Orders m/m – Stats

Previous = -0.8%

Forecast = 1.2%

USD – Durable Goods Orders m/m – Stats

Previous = -4.0%

Forecast = 0.5%

Here is how I am set up for tomorrow:

USD-8-30AM-ET-05-24-12
Looking for a 1.5% difference
Actual > Forecast = Good for USD
USD Core Durable Goods Orders m/m
——actual——–forecast——–previous
______________1.2%________-0.8%
out at 2.7% or higher – SELL GBP/USD
out at -0.3% or lower – BUY GBP/USD

It appears that the economists believe that durable goods orders and core durable goods orders are not in conflict again this month, possible trade situation – check the FOREX Calendars.

The Core Durable Goods Orders appear to have the greatest impact on the currency market, but if they both do not come out moving in the same direction, either positive or negative, there can be a conflict, who knows what may happen then.

I will post a “follow up” report of the results.

The next scheduled release of these two reports on Thursday, 05-24-12 at 7:30 AM ET.

Stay tuned!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, 05-22-12 at 10:00 AM ET one important USD report is to be released, this is the USD Existing Home Sales report, released monthly by the National Association of Realtors.

There are 2 other news release as well:

USD Richmond Manufacturing Index
Released monthly by Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond

EUR Consumer Confidence
Released monthly by Eurostat

There was not a good trigger last month, did not enter a trade

I did a “follow up” post on the April report, click here for a review.

Here are the stats for this month:

USD Existing Home Sales  stats:

Previous = 4.48 M

Forecast = 4.64 M

This “forecast” indicates that there will be a decrease of home sales of about 160,000 homes over last months sales.

Here is how I am set up for tomorrow:

USD-10-00AM-ET-05-22-12
Looking for a 200K difference
Actual > Forecast = Good for USD
USD Existing Home Sales
——actual——–forecast———-previous
______________4.64M________4.48M
Out at 4.84M or Higher – SELL EUR/USD
Out at 4.44M or Lower – BUY EUR/USD

I think that a good difference between the “actual” and the “forecast” of say 200K or more could present a brief “scalp” opportunity with the currency pair EUR/USD currency pair.

Here is a video of  a trade setup and results for the news release on Wednesday 09-21-11

I will post a “follow up” on the results of this report.

The next release of theses reports will be on Thursday, 06-21-12 at 10:00 AM ET.

Disclaimer:

I have discontinued news currency trading since I do not know the political bent of the reporting agencies – world wide economic problems have put political leaders in a very powerful position – so, take each news report with a “grain of salt”

I will continue recording the news reports.

Here are the stats for this month:

USD Existing Home Sales  stats:

Previous = 4.59 M

Forecast = 4.62 M

Actual = 4.48 M

Here is how I was set up for these reports, and the results:

USD-10-00AM-ET-04-19-12
Looking for a 200K difference
Actual > Forecast = Good for USD
USD Existing Home Sales
——actual——–forecast———-previous
_____4.48 M____4.62M________4.59M
Out at 4.82M or Higher – SELL EUR/USD
Out at 4.42M or Lower – BUY EUR/USD

Bad – “actual” came out lower then “forecast” by 140 K
Bad – “actual” came out lower then “previous” by 110 K
