Forex Signal (Thu, March 31, 10:00 am EST) US ISM Manufacturing

On Thursday, March 31 at 10:00 am New York Time we will have US ISM Manufacturing Index coming out. It is expected to read 57.0. Last month it read 56.5.

I recommend trading USD/JPY for this report.

Please read what this indicator means and how it affects the USD/JPY by going to this link: US ISM Manufacturing Index

The trigger for this indicator is 6. This means that if US ISM Manufacturing index comes out at 63.0 or higher, USD/JPY will probably go up by 30 pips or more in the first 45 minutes of the report. If it comes out at 51.0 or lower, USD/JPY will probably go down by 30 pips or more in the first 45 minutes of the report.

This is very unlikely we will see such a big deviation, and this is exactly why I set such triggers - I don't want to trade it with normal triggers because right now it is highly unreliable report to trade. But if a miracle happens and we see such deviation, then I guess it's worthy to give a try. 75% chance it will be a no trade.
