JamesThatcher Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 What does the data mean to the market? The data indicates the number of crude oil barrels held by commercial firms in the US; this inventory is taken weekly and indicates increases or decreases needed in supply which then affects the price. A Positive number is bad for the oil price. There is other oil data released the night before this report, API Weekly Crude Oil Stock, which the market looks for as an indicator of today's report, which can gauge how it will respond. There are two mainline of data to focus on. DOE Gasoline Inventories and DOE Crude Oil Inventories, the two lines must not conflict to make this data tradeable; Oil is the driving force behind this report. Historic Deviations and Their Outcome March 31 2021 Not much of a deviation on this, but it seems Gasoline won the day!

JamesThatcher Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 We didn't see much of a deviation on this report. Oil price bounced up and backed down before finding a bearish direction for the rest of the trading session. This data did not shock the market, and I didn't take a trade. Unlike most of the data I trade, Crude Oil Inventories are weekly, so not long to wait until I get another shot at making some pips here.

JamesThatcher Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 What does the data mean to the market? The total number of people employed/changed in the previous month. More employment is positive for the Cadanidan dollar and would create a buy of CAD pairs. Also, at the same time comes the unemployment rate, which has the reverse impact; a higher unemployment rate is negative for the Canadian Dollar. We need both to deviate in the same direction to create a trade. Today, it's nice to have one of these rare occurrences that don't come out with the highly anticipated NFP report. This data is Hot data, and we could get some pip's again today. Historic Deviations and Their Outcome March 12 2021 We saw a healthy + 184k positive deviation on the headline data Employment Change. With a positive 1% change in the Unemployment rate, which created a trade for me, I took on EURCAD to avoid any conflict from US data that came out simultaneously. I banked a few pips. See Chart here: https://calendar.galaxysoftwareinc.com/#/chart;i=33563;t=2021-3-12 13:30:00.0;s=EURCAD;r=M1 February 5 2021 We had NFP simultaneously; however, big devs worked slowly on EURCAD and USDCAD. We couldn't trade this simultaneously as NFP as NFP is likely to overshadow this report. See Chart here: https://calendar.galaxysoftwareinc.com/#/chart;i=28017;t=2021-2-5 13:30:00.0;s=EURCAD;r=M1 October 9 2020 We also had the same setup as of today and March, where this report doesn't come out with NFP; however, the forecast range was much broader. We still saw a good move on CAD pairs, although this was all over in the first minute. See Chart here: https://calendar.galaxysoftwareinc.com/#/chart;i=23196;t=2020-10-9 12:30:00.0;s=EURCAD;r=M1 My Forecasts For Today Empl Chg - Full Time 0 Employment Change 100 Unemployment Rate 8.0 Today's Trade Plan We have to look at the three main lines. Employment Change = Shows how many jobs were gained or added in the last month. Full Time= How many of those jobs were Full time because they have less value to the economy if they are part-time. Unemployment = More Unemployment is bad, and less is good. If we get a deviation from Employment change of around +75 (This is the key line of data) Add to that a +20 Full Time And 0.2+- from Unemployment Then we should see some great moves.

JamesThatcher Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Today we got massive deviations across the three important data lines, Employment Change, Full Time, and Unemployment, all in the same direction, which gave us a nice move and the opportunity to bank a little profit!

JamesThatcher Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 What does the data mean to the market? The Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the changes in the price of goods and services, excluding food and energy. The CPI measures price change from the perspective of the consumer. It is a key way to measure changes in purchasing trends and inflation. A higher than expected number is positive/bullish for the USD, a lower than expected number is negative/bearish for the USD. There are 4 lines of data. Headline CPI - Core (M/M) CPI - Core (Y/Y) CPI - (M/M) CPI - (Y/Y) Historic Deviations and Their Outcome March 10 2021 We got a +0.1 on both core lines gave a nice 15 pip move on USDJPY ; that's a really nice move for such a small deviation, shows how hot this data is becoming.

I’m looking for a Deviation of 0.2% or greater in either direction from the forecast of 0.2% to take a trade. So, an actual figure of 0.0% to Sell USD or 0.4% to Buy USD. We would need to confirm no conflict on any of the other three lines! CPI - Core (Y/Y) CPI - (M/M) CPI - (Y/Y) If they all lineup, we should bank some good pips today.

JamesThatcher Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 What does the data mean to the market? There are two main lines of data on this release. Employment Change, the total number of people employed/changed in the previous month; more employment is positive for the Aussie dollar and would create a buy of AUD pairs. Unemployment Rate, which has the reverse impact, a higher Unemployment Rate is negative for the Aussie Dollar and would create a sell of AUD pairs. Historic Deviations and Their Outcome March 18 2021 We got a 0.5% reduction in Unemployment Rate with complimentary 58k positive Employment Change, which gave a great move for the first minute where I banked a few pips here in the first 30 seconds, a great outcome!

This time it conflicted between Unemployment Rate and Employment Change which didn't create a move from which I could profit. So I stayed on the sidelines. See Chart here: https://calendar.galaxysoftwareinc.com/#/chart;i=28577;t=2021-2-18 0:30:00.0;s=AUDNZD;r=M1 January 21 2021 No deviations on this release, and as you can see from the charts, the market didn’t move!

If we get a 0.4% deviation from the forecast Unemployment Rate in either direction with no conflict from Employment Change, then we should see some good moves on AUD pairs. If both lines deviate harmoniously, we should see a sustained move and rack up a fair amount of pips along the way.

JamesThatcher Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 What does the data mean to the market? The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey's (CBRT) Monetary Policy Committee votes on where to set the overnight interest rate. Traders watch interest rate changes closely as short term interest rates are the primary factor in currency valuation. A higher than expected rate is positive/bullish for the TRY (Turkish Lira), while a lower than expected rate is negative/bearish for the TRY. Historic Deviations and Their Outcome March 18 2021 +1.0 positive deviation from the forecast, which gave a nice move of 750 pips in the first minute, then great continuation afterwards, too!

This is broken down here:- 23 forecast for the rate to stay at 19% 1 forecast for a cut to 18.5% 1 forecast for a cut to 17% Last time there was an unexpected hike in rates, President Erdogan sacked the central bank governor. Today is the first policy announcement from the new governor Sahap Kavcioglu, who's under pressure to cut rates. So far, he has signalled he won't cut yet but let's see! Realistically the only feasible outcome from today is a possible cut. So if we get a deviation of 1.0 or more, we can expect a continued and prolonged weakening in TRY pairs.

JamesThatcher Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 We saw slight deviations from both Oil and Gasoline but not enough to make a trade today; however, it still gave a good move!

JamesThatcher Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 There was no deviation today.

JamesThatcher Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Hey How you all feeling about this weeks trading? Last week's diary was pretty scarce, and I set up only for four trades where only one trade gave us a deviation from the forecast worth taking a risk on. Unfortunately, this one of the rare occurrences which resulted in a slight loss; losses will happen. It's part of the game. A good reminder to do your analysis, Always work out if the potential reward is worth the risk. Remember, this is real money. This loss was minimal, and I'm in profit for the month with two more weeks to go. The diary is pretty light this week too, it isn't necessarily about the number of trades you take. If the markets give us some surprises, we only need one or two. My diary changes minute by minute (tick by tick) just like the markets; however, currently, this is what I'm setting up for this week. 20 April 2021 23:45 New Zealand CPI (Q/Q) https://calendar.galaxysoftwareinc.com/#/calendar;nbc=NZ;nn=CPI (QoQ) 21 April 2021 13:30 Canada CPI (M/M) https://calendar.galaxysoftwareinc.com/#/calendar;nbc=CA;nn=Core CPI (MoM) 21 April 2021 15:00 Canada Overnight Rate https://calendar.galaxysoftwareinc.com/#/calendar;nbc=CA;nn=BoC Rate Statement 21 April 2021 15:30 Crude Oil Inventories https://calendar.galaxysoftwareinc.com/#/calendar;nbc=US;nn=Crude Oil Inventories 23 April 2021 18:30 German Composite PMI https://calendar.galaxysoftwareinc.com/#/calendar;nbc=US;nn=Crude Oil Inventories I'm looking for new information in real-time. As the markets change, so will my planned trades. If you don't see a trading plan posted before the trade, I'll let you know why I decided not to trade it, vice versa; if new opportunities come up, I'll post my plan as far in advance as possible, so keep watching this space for updates. I work in real-time so do my plans. Please feel free to ask questions. Good luck this week. James Thatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we may not be there yet. Therefore today, I will need an unlikely 0.4 deviation from the forecast in either direction from the headline CPI M/M (month on month), including supporting deviations of 0.1 in the same direction as the headline from the other four lines of data that come out at the same time. Without the comprehensive deviations on all lines, we may not find any continuation that will bring us safety and profit.

JamesThatcher Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Core CPI was nowhere near the deviations I needed, so no trade for me today. As you see, not much of a move on CAD pairs for CPI; however, notice the charts 90 minutes later when the Bank of Canada's monetary policy report suggested that interest rates could hike in 2022 and not their previous estimation in 2023. That means next month, this and other Canadian data becomes hot.

JamesThatcher Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Todays Oil deviation wasn't even half of what I set up for so no trade today,take a look at the chart though, it's scary when you see the price move in the right direction of the news and immediately reverse and go the wrong way, Remember the importance of your analysis and risk reward ratio, not just any deviation will work eveytime.
