Market News
Should one word, or the removal of it have such
an effect on the FX markets? You can see
what happened after the word 'patient' was removed from the Fed's
statement. Mixed signals certainly as
the market attempted to price in a September rate hike rather than June.
If you like good trending markets intraday then
this week should have been profitable for you, especially when trading the EUR
and GBP against the US dollar.
Next week the US and UK will release inflation
figures for February. If the UK misses
it's targets (negative number) you will likely see a larger move in GBPUSD to
the downside than if it produces positive results. How would you trade this....see below.
HIROSE News: Trading CPI with MT4 and Binary
options together
So lets
assume that on Tuesday 24th March we want to trade GBPUSD over the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) figure. This
is a key indicator to measure inflation.
We have been told that UK rates will not go up this year, therefore a
good figure will not carry the urgency of an immediately stronger pound.
Conversely,
a figure below consensus may have a material impact.
Using MT4
you can place a down (sell) trade on GBPUS fx.
You can also place a 'High' trade on GBPUSD on the Binary Options
platform (remember the same login details will allow you access to both
platforms).
What is the
effect? Well, what you are hoping for is a bad (negative) inflation figure
which will send the GBPUSD lower. You
can manage your fx position with stops and limit orders (try putting on a
trailing stop to catch the move).
At the same
time you know that you Binary Options position has a guaranteed loss potential
with the ability to close out the position before expiry.
If your
prediction is right you will make more
profit on your fx position against the loss on your Binary options position.
GOOD LUCK!
