Questo è un aspetto rilevante, da tenere in grande considerazione per definire una strategia operativa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Altro punto di attenzione: in corrispondenza dell&#39;ora delle news, quando ancora lo spread è di 1,5 pips il rapporto EUR/USD evidenzia un movimento repentino che fa scattare tutti gli ordini nel raggio di 10 pips... poi lo spread si allarga a 10 pips e altri ordini vengono eseguiti. Questo comportamento ci suggerisce una cosa importante: &lt;strong&gt;qualsiasi sia la strategia che verrà individuata, dovrà minimizzare il rischio di ordini eseguiti durante queste oscillazioni che precedono l&#39;evento.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myforexexperiment.blogspot.com/feeds/8313506235404245399/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/37432968/8313506235404245399' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37432968/posts/default/8313506235404245399'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37432968/posts/default/8313506235404245399'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myforexexperiment.blogspot.com/2006/11/agenda-economica-di-mercoled-29112006.html' title='Agenda economica di Mercoledì 29/11/2006'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37432968.post-5083894105299975251</id><published>2006-11-28T22:17:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-11-28T22:43:43.804+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Martedì 28/11/2006 - USD Consumer Confidence e Existing Home Sales m/m</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Data e ora dell&#39;evento&lt;/strong&gt;: martedì 28/11/2006 04:00pm (GMT+1)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consumer Confidence&lt;/strong&gt;: Measures the mood of consumers in regard to economic conditions. The reading is derived from a monthly survey that asks respondents to evaluate the prospects for the economy in the future. Higher readings point to higher consumer optimism.

Existing Home Sales make up a larger portion of the housing market than New Home Sales, and therefore are an important indicator of trends in the housing market. This indicator is published monthly by the National Association of Realtors.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: 6.24M&lt;/strong&gt; - Forecast: 6.20M - Previous: 6.18M&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dati rilasciati alle 04:00pm (GMT+1) hanno prodotto un rafforzamento dell&#39;USD nei confronti del l&#39;EURO.

Ho quindi deciso di cancellare l&#39;ordine Buy, ma alle 04:00pm (GMT+1) è successo che:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l&#39;ordine Sell è stato stoppato (eseguito SL)&lt;br /&gt;l&#39;ordine Buy è stato eseguito e poi stoppato (eseguito SL)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tutto nell&#39;arco di un attimo... la cosa curiosa e che ancora non mi spiego è che il grafico non evidenzia nessuna transazione avvenuta a quei prezzi (mi riferisco all&#39;ordine Buy e allo SL dell&#39;ordine Sell). Cercherò di capire nei prossimi giorni, e vi farò sapere. La faccenda si fa interessante...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buona notte!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myforexexperiment.blogspot.com/feeds/5083894105299975251/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/37432968/5083894105299975251' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37432968/posts/default/5083894105299975251'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37432968/posts/default/5083894105299975251'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myforexexperiment.blogspot.com/2006/11/marted-28112006-usd-consumer-confidence.html' title='Martedì 28/11/2006 - USD Consumer Confidence e Existing Home Sales m/m'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37432968.post-6556346448908081336</id><published>2006-11-28T21:19:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-11-28T22:09:14.119+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Martedì 28/11/2006 - USD Durable Goods Orders m/m e Core Durable Goods Orders m/m</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Data e ora dell&#39;evento&lt;/strong&gt;: martedì 28/11/2006 02:30pm (GMT+1)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Durable Goods Orders m/m&lt;/strong&gt;: Measures the value of new purchase orders placed with domestic manufacturers for hard goods with a life expectancy of more than 3 years, such as automobiles, computers, appliances, and airplanes. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation&#39;s currency. While most indicators tell what happened in the past, Durable Goods Orders paints a picture of the future. It uncovers how busy manufacturers will be in the months to come as they work to fill new orders, and a busy manufacturing industry is a positive sign that the economy is expanding.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: -8.3%&lt;/strong&gt; - Forecast: -5.0% - Previous: 8.3%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Core Durable Goods Orders m/m&lt;/strong&gt;: Derivative of Durable Goods Orders that excludes the Transportation components. Orders for aircraft occur in periodic burst and can severely distort the underlying trend, so traders tend to focus more on this indicator than the overall Durable Goods Orders.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: -1.7%&lt;/strong&gt; - Forecast: 0.4% - Previous: 0.5%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dati rilasciati alle 02:30pm (GMT+1) sono stato inferiori alle attese degli analisti ed hanno prodotto ancora un rafforzamento dell&#39;EURO nei confronti del dollaro. Il grafico seguente illustra la crescita del rapporto EUR/USD da 1.3140 a 1.3180 (+ 40 pips) nei minuti seguenti all&#39;evento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/3720/4569/400/2006-11-28-img1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Veniamo ora alla verifica dell&#39;esperimento sull&#39;account di prova di OANDA: come anticipato ieri, 2 minuti prima dell&#39;evento ho provveduto ad inserire 2 ordini così strutturati:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;posizione Long: Limit Order a 5 pips sopra il prezzo del momento, TP + 55 pips e SL -15 pips&lt;br /&gt;posizione Short: Limit Order a 5 pips sotto il prezzo del momento, TP - 55 pips e SL +15 pips&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ed ecco la prima cosa importante da segnalare: &lt;strong&gt;60 secondi prima dell&#39;evento, OANDA ha ampliato lo spread da 1,5 pips a 10 pips.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alle 02:29pm (GMT+1) l&#39;ordine di Buy è stato eseguito &lt;strong&gt;senza slippage&lt;/strong&gt;, ma come si può intuire dal grafico siamo stati fortunati: con uno spead ampliato a 10 pips, sarebbe bastato veramente poco per far scattare anche il secondo ordine di Sell. Il rapporto EUR/USD ha poi cominciato a salire e dopo 5 minuti è iniziato il ritracciamento. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eravamo ben lontani dal TP, essendo il primo ordine dell&#39;esperimento ho deciso di chiudere manualmente la posizione e portare &quot;a casa&quot; i miei primi +27 pips.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myforexexperiment.blogspot.com/feeds/6556346448908081336/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/37432968/6556346448908081336' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37432968/posts/default/6556346448908081336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37432968/posts/default/6556346448908081336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myforexexperiment.blogspot.com/2006/11/marted-28112006-usd-durable-goods.html' title='Martedì 28/11/2006 - USD Durable Goods Orders m/m e Core Durable Goods Orders m/m'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37432968.post-8231903880972923447</id><published>2006-11-27T22:11:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-11-27T22:24:30.378+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Agenda economica di Martedì 28/11/2006</title><content type='html'>L&#39;agenda economica di domani 28/11/2006 si presenta ricca di spunti per il mio esperimento, ecco l&#39;elenco degli eventi più rilevanti:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2:30pm (GMT+1) (USD) - Durable Goods Orders m/m&lt;br /&gt;2:30pm (GMT+1) (USD) - Core Durable Goods Orders m/m&lt;br /&gt;4:00pm (GMT+1) (USD) - Consumer Confidence&lt;br /&gt;4:00pm (GMT+1) (USD) - Existing Home Sales m/m&lt;br /&gt;6:30pm (GMT+1) (USD) - Philly Fed President Plosser Speaks&lt;br /&gt;6:30pm (GMT+1) (USD) - Fed Chairman Bernanke Speaks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Domani proverò un primo approccio su un account di prova, lavoro permettendo... questa è l&#39;idea: qualche minuto prima degli eventi in agenda, provvederò ad inserire 2 ordini sul rapporto EUR/USD:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;posizione Long: Limit Order a 5 pips sopra il prezzo del momento, TP + 55 pips e SL -15 pips&lt;br /&gt;posizione Short: Limit Order a 5 pips sottoil prezzo del momento, TP - 55 pips e SL +15 pips&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A domani per le verifiche dei risultati!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myforexexperiment.blogspot.com/feeds/8231903880972923447/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/37432968/8231903880972923447' title='2 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37432968/posts/default/8231903880972923447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37432968/posts/default/8231903880972923447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myforexexperiment.blogspot.com/2006/11/agenda-economica-di-marted-28112006.html' title='Agenda economica di Martedì 28/11/2006'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37432968.post-4630266534501202837</id><published>2006-11-24T21:40:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-11-24T22:22:40.624+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Venerdì 24/11/2006 - Thanksgiving phenomenon</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Data e ora dell&#39;evento&lt;/strong&gt;: venerdì 24/11/2006 09:30am (GMT+1)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La settimana appena trascorsa (20-24 novembre 2006) si è chiusa senza particolari news da segnalare: dal punto di vista degli eventi, il più rilevante è stato il repentino movimento rilevato alle 09:30am (GMT+1) pari quasi +100 pips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/3720/4569/400/697641/2006-11-24-img1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il fatto veramente curioso è che a tale ora non c&#39;è stata apparentemente nessuna notizia così inaspettata da giustificare il movimento.

A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation&#39;s currency. The primary objective of the central bank is to achieve price stability; when inflation rises above an annualized rate of approximately 2%, they will respond by raising interest rates to bring prices down. Higher interest rates attract foreign investment, thus increasing demand for the nation&#39;s currency. CPI is one of the most closely watched indicators and will usually have a high impact upon release.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: -0,5%&lt;/strong&gt; - Forecast: -0.3% - Previous: -0.5%&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Core CPI m/m&lt;/strong&gt;: Derivative of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) that excludes the Food and Energy items. Food and Energy account for roughly 25% of CPI, but they can be very volatile from month to month and can distort the overall picture. CPI with the exclusion of these volatile components is thought to be a better indicator of the underlying inflation trend.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: 0,1%&lt;/strong&gt; - Forecast: 0.2% - Previous: 0.2%&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dati sono stati peggiori delle aspettative degli analisti. Come evidenzia il grafico seguente, il rapporto EUR/USD si porta rapidamente da 1.2805 a quota 1.2835 (+30 pips).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/3720/4569/400/2006-11-16-img2.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myforexexperiment.blogspot.com/feeds/7000775151997930751/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/37432968/7000775151997930751' title='2 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37432968/posts/default/7000775151997930751'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37432968/posts/default/7000775151997930751'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myforexexperiment.blogspot.com/2006/11/gioved-16112006-usd-cpi-mm-e-core-cpi.html' title='Giovedì 16/11/2006 - USD CPI m/m e Core CPI m/m'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37432968.post-1292684553784711917</id><published>2006-11-16T20:37:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-11-16T20:47:19.321+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Giovedì 16/11/2006 - GBP Retail Sales m/m</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Data e ora dell&#39;evento&lt;/strong&gt;: giovedì 16/11/2006 10:30am (GMT+1)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Measures the total value of sales at the retail level.

A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation&#39;s currency. When manufactures pay more for goods and services, they are likely to pass the higher costs to the consumer, so PPI is thought to be a leading indicator of consumer inflation. PPI is highly regarded, and at extremes will have a market impact equal to that of its CPI counterpart.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: -1,6%&lt;/strong&gt; - Forecast: -0.3% - Previous: -1.3%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Core PPI m/m&lt;/strong&gt;: Derivative of the Producer Price Index (PPI) that excludes the Food and Energy items. Although Food and Energy can be very volatile from month to month, they play an important role in pass-through inflation. Therefore Core PPI usually has less impact than the overall PPI.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: -0,9%&lt;/strong&gt; - Forecast: 0.2% - Previous: 0,6%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Retail Sales m/m&lt;/strong&gt;: Measures the total value of sales at the retail level. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation&#39;s currency. Consumer spending makes up a large portion of GDP, and Retail Sales makes up one-third of consumer spending. This indicator is usually the first of the month that relates to consumer behavior, making it susceptible to big surprises.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: -0,2%&lt;/strong&gt; - Forecast: -0.4% - Previous: -0,4%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Retail Sales excl. Autos m/m&lt;/strong&gt;: Derivative of Retail Sales that excludes the Automobile Sales component. Automobile Sales make up roughly 25% of Retail Sales, but they can be very volatile from month to month and can distort the picture. Retail Sales with the exclusion of this volatile component is thought to be a better indicator of the underlying trend in consumer spending.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: -0,4%&lt;/strong&gt; - Forecast: -0.1% - Previous: -0,5%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dati sono stati tendezialmente tutti inferiori alle aspettative degli analisti.

A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation&#39;s currency. The primary objective of the central bank is to achieve price stability; when inflation rises above an annualized rate of approximately 2%, they will respond by raising interest rates to bring prices down. Higher interest rates attract foreign investment, thus increasing demand for the nation&#39;s currency. CPI is one of the most closely watched indicators and will usually have a high impact upon release.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: 0.2%&lt;/strong&gt; -&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Forecast: 0.2% - Previous: 0.1%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Core CPI y/y&lt;/strong&gt;: Derivative of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) that excludes the volatile Food, Energy, Alcohol and Tobacco items.

A positive Trade Balance indicates that more goods and services were exported than imported. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation&#39;s currency. As higher levels of exports are sold to the world, demand for the nation&#39;s currency is elevated as foreigners convert their native currency to purchase these exports. The Trade Balance also has a sizable impact on GDP because high demand for exports creates increased employment and production as domestic factories work to fill this foreign demand.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: -64.3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forecast: -66.0&lt;br /&gt;Previous: -69.9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il dato fornito è stato migliore delle attese espresse dagli analisti.

The statement contains the latest decision regarding changes to the nation&#39;s short term interest rate (&quot;Bank rate&quot;). A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation&#39;s currency. Short term interest rates are the paramount factor in currency valuation; traders look at most other indicators merely to predict how interest rates may change in the future. What makes interest rates so important is that high rates attract foreigners looking for the best &quot;risk-free&quot; return on their money, which significantly increases demand for the nation&#39;s currency. The primary objective of the central bank is to achieve price stability; when inflation rises above an annualized rate of approximately 2%, they will respond by raising interest rates in an attempt to bring prices down. This is what makes inflation-predicting indicators so important. Traders know that rising prices will lead the central bank to raise interest rates, which ultimately leads to a more valuable currency.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: 5.00%&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forecast: 5.00%&lt;br /&gt;Previous: 4.75%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il dato fornito è stato in linea con le previsioni degli analisti.

A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation&#39;s currency. The number of new jobs being created is one of the most important indicators of the economy&#39;s health because consumer spending, which is highly correlated with labor conditions, makes up a large portion of GDP. This report is the first of the month that relates to labor conditions, making it susceptible to big surprises.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual: -32K&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Forecast: 8K&lt;br /&gt;Previous: 31K&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il dato fornito è stato decisamente più negativo delle (già pessimistiche) previsioni degli analisti.
