UK Retail Sales m/m 09/17/09

4:30am (NY Time) UK Retail Sales   Forecast 0.2%   Previous 0.4%
ACTION: GBP/USD         BUY 0.8%       SELL -0.4%

Our focus will once again be on the UK Retail Sales, which is measurement of activities at the retail level, therefore a higher Retail sales number means better economy and better for Sterling.

The tradable deviation for this release will be 0.6% on the Headline number. If our deviation is hit, we can expect the market to move at least 50 pips within the hour, with a historical accuracy of 70%.  If we do not get at least of 0.6% of deviation, we will not take a trade as the release is not safe enough for a successful trade based on historical data…

An interesting trend over the last 12 releases is that we’ve gotten 10 better than expected releases and 2 worse than expected releases. Based on pure statistics we could be looking a better than expected numbers today.  But one word of caution is with the recent negative sentiment on the Sterling, as the market may move stronger on a negative release than a positive release, the long-term direction of the trade should be selling Sterling than buying, therefore I may be looking to SELL from the top from a better release or just SELL right off the bat on a worse release.

As usual I will be posting the results back here as soon as possible, so stay tuned.
