NEWS TRADING.. FOR FOREX.

We've got tons of untradable news today, although they do have thepotential of moving the market, but without a decent track record to
predict market reaction, it is best to stay out of the market
during the release times.

1. Tuesday November 24, 2009 (8:30am NY Time) US

Prelim GDP q/q Forecast 2.9% Previous 3.5%

We are looking for a 0.3% deviation on the expected 2.9%. Therefore
if we get a 3.2% on the Prelim 3rd quarter GDP, it would be
somewhat US Dollar positive and we will BUY USD/JPY. However, if
we get a 2.6% release or worse, then we would be SELLING USD/JPY or
USD/CHF.

Since this is the 2nd release, we do not expect much reaction and/or
deviation... most of the time market has already priced in the move
way before the release time.
