Hi my dear Trader

Let's first review what happened on Wednesday.

At 4:30 a.m. we had a set of UK reports but they did not deviate enough to enter a trade. However, nearly every report was bad for the GBP so they *together* were able to push GBP/USD down greatly by about 55 pips.

At 9:30 p.m. we had Australian Employment Change. It came out -19.7K versus +13.5K expected. On top of it, the unemployment came out higher by 0.1 to 4.3%. AUD/USD moved 55 pips instantly, and then it went down even more. It was hard to trade afterspike on it because you never know if it was the lowest price and it is going to retrace, or if it want to go even lower. Some SNW users made a good money on the spike, good for them (good for me too) ;-)

Let's talk about Thursday.

1. Thursday, June 12th, 2008 (8:30 a.m. New York Time) USA
At 8:30 a.m. we will have U.S. Core Retail Sales. It is expected to come out at 0.7%, and I would trade 0.5 deviation on it. If it comes out at 0.2% or lower, I would sell USD/JPY and look for about 40 pips price action. If it comes out at 1.2%, I would buy USD/JPY and look for 40 pips as well. If you want to be more risky, you can trade with 0.3 or 0.4 deviation.

2. Thursday, June 12th, 2008 (6:45 p.m. New York Time) NEW ZEALAND
At 6:45 p.m. we will have New Zealand Retail Sales. I would trade the headline number. It is expected to come out at 0.4%, and I would trade it with 0.6 deviation. If it comes out at 1% or higher, I would buy NZD/USD and expect 25 pips move. If it comes out at -0.2%, I would sell NZD/USD and expect 25 pips move as well. With larger deviation, you can expect 35 to 40 pips move.

That's all for Thursday.

Thank you and good luck with your trades.
