I trust I'm posting this well enough in advance.

Event: Existing Home Sales & Consumer Confidence, to be released at
10am sharp, Monday morning.

Of the two, Consumer Confidence will be the forex market mover.

Standard straddle, eur/usd entry limit orders to be placed +/- 15
points above the bid, below the ask about two minutes prior to the data
release.

Are you going to ignore the German IFO at 04:00ET this time? You've
mentioned before that it was one of your favoured events to trade.

This time I'll skip it..that's 3am local and I don't want to lose the
sleep.
What I need is a trading assistant..one with big tits..to handle such
early morning business. Meanwhile, I'll forgo the obvious profit that
the trade may yield :-)

My assistant really needs to know the proper spelling of "Immuculate
Conception"..a school I attended in Memphis as a kid..Priscilla Presley
attending about the same time :-)

Event: US New Home Sales & Consumer Confidence, 10 am release

Two minutes prior release, eur/usd traded at 1.2060/63

Placed Limit Sell @ 1.2075
Placed Limit Buy @ 1.2048

Limit sell triggered, rate went to 1.2114 before pivot down. I reset
hedge to kick in at 2120 thinking the market was searching for orders
just over the 2100 even cent level.

Trade is still on as I write..

By all means, stay tuned.
The eur has enjoyed a 180 point move up on the day..some on the new Fed
chief..some on the German IFO release at 4am. Enough is enough. The Fed
will continue its rate hikes, even with the new chairman..its called
"continuity". Higher rates = higher interest rate differential between
the buck and other currencies..favoring the buck..lipstick so to speak
:-)

Me, I woulda (shoulda, coulda) gone for the bounce off
the frequently-tested support at around 1.1935 on Monday
and sold out at 1.2000 about three hours later for the "sure"
65 big ones, but that's just me and I don't even have a Forex
account just a big mouth...
