UK Revised GDP q/q is a second GDP release for the Q2 of 2015 period, and since it is the second release for the same quarter, most data have already been made available. It’s less likely to surprise the market, but in the event there is a surprise, we should follow the trade plan below.
4:30am (NY Time) UK Revised GDP q/q Forecast 0.7% Previous 0.7%
DEVIATION: 0.3% (BUY GBP 1.0% / SELL GBP 0.4%)
The Trade Plan
Since this is the second release of the second quarterly GDP for 2015 (Q2 2015), we're likely to get plenty of reaction if we get a surprise today, as most second releases do still have the potential of surprising the market. Considering the recent positive trend in the UK economic data, we may get another surprise release today.
However, we'll still be looking to trade the release using our after news retracement method. Our surprise factor is around 0.3%, as we'll look to possibly SELL GBP at 0.4% or worse, and BUY GBP at 1.0% or better.
Historically, if there is a 80% of chance that our S. Factor hits, the market will move up to 50~70 pips within the hour, as GDP is a very high impact report.
I’d recommend to use the Recommended Pairs from above as they are based on my CSM, which should provide the best combination of currency pairs to trade based on better/worse news… of course, you can also trade the default pair: GBP/USD.
