Today at 14:30 (CET) we expect the release of two economic indicators: Core retail sales, CRS in Canada and the preliminary Q3 GDP in the US. CRS is released monthly by Statistics Canada and shows a relative change in the total value of sales at the retail level, excluding automobiles, which account for 20% of the total volume. CRS is a monthly measurement of all goods sold by retailers, based on the sampling of different types of retail stores. The index defines long-term trends in consumer activity. The quarterly US GDP is also of interest primarily for long-term investors. Let us remind you that GDP expresses the cost of manufactured goods and services and adjusted for inflation. The GDP indicator shows the change in values of the previous quarter (%).In our opinion, the greatest volatility is expected today from the US currency relative to other liquid instruments.
After position opening, Stop Loss is to be moved after the Parabolic values, near the next fractal low. Updating is enough to be done every day after a new Bill Williams fractal formation (5 candlesticks). Thus, we are changing the probable profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point.
- Position Buy
- Buy stop above 1.13146
- Stop loss below 1.11835
