At 4:30 a.m. we will have UK Average Earnings (without bonus). It is expected to come out at 3.9%. If it comes out at 4.1% or higher, I would be worth to buy GBP/USD, looking for 40 pips in the first hour of the report. If it comes out at 3.7% or lower, then I would sell GBP/USD, looking for 40 pips in the first hour.

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008 (8:30 a.m. New York Time) USA
At 8:30 a.m. we will have U.S. Retail Sales X Autos coming out. Last time we were trading it with 0.5 trigger and it worked beautifully with USD/JPY but GBP/USD and EUR/USD had tough moves. This time I will be using 0.5 trigger again, and again I will focus on USD/JPY. It is expected it will come out at 0.2%. If it comes out at 0.7% or higher, I would buy USD/JPY. If it comes out at -0.3% or more negative, I would sell USD/JPY. When the trigger is hit, I would expect 35 pips of price action but it can be much more after a few hours, like last month we saw over 100 pips move.

If it comes out at 30K or higher, I would buy AUD/USD. If it comes out at 0K or negative, I would sell AUD/USD. If the trigger is hit, I would look for 30 to 40 pips ore more of price action
