Euro Key Level Economic News Release Trading Strategy
By Cynthia Macy, Wed Dec 7th
Forex traders know the importance of economic news releases andhow that effects the exchange rate. A positive or negative newsannouncement in the US morning session can send the EUR/USD rateup or down extremely fast! One way to capture these large movesis to use ENTRY STOP ORDERS. Entry stop orders are an excellent way to get into a trade longor short AUTOMATICALLY. Often if the market is moving extremelyfast (due to an economic news release or geopolitical event) andyou want to get into a trade, it is extremely difficult to getthe price you click (live market order) because the exchangerate is moving up or down so fast. It is like trying to jump ona train that is moving at full speed. An entry stop buy or sell order places an order with the dealingdesk of your Forex clearing house to execute your order when theexchange rate touches the level you set the order at. The CMS VTplatform guarantees that these types of orders will be filled.
The following link outlines the economic news releases for theweek. I find it very helpful because it rates every release interms of importance on a grading scale of A-D. A denotes veryimportant down to D with little significance to the markets. Iteven lists what the market expects to happen with thebriefing.com forecast. Click
