Every pair has kind of special set of news that make huge market jumps in a range of 10-30 minutes or so, these kind of moves can be seen on the graph. Can you pls help me with some infomation on important news corresponding to each currency pair (or particularly for gbpusd)?

I believe these can be traded smoothly using trailing stops.

The mian page for forexfactory.com has the news, how strong they are and on which pair .. you can even filter the currency pairs or change the time of the news to correspond to your time.

another source is http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/ecalendar/index.html

http://www.mizuho-cb.co.uk/TresInter...X_-_Majors.htm

the list is long but that should be a good start for you ... personaly www.forexfactory.com is more than enough

I do not remember where i got this from, but it is useful for traders that want to trade the news. Unfortunatly I can not take credit for it, nor name who the credit should go to..but thanks..

thx a lot Minime & Jimbo!

Jimbo, is this a static excel document or there's some place, where I can enter newer data? it's such an amazing job, I was myself thinking about something like that...

It seems to be static excel sheet, its would have been great if it has macros to link it to forexfactory.com or anyother news site

like I mentioned before, I do not remember where i got it from, but I have used it for a "reference" on how to setup plays on News Releases.
It shows the typical reaction of the events with different currency pairs.
Last wednesday I setup the straddle on the GBP/$ for the BOE Meeting Minutes and made about 40 pips. Then repeated on the EUR/$ on the Interest Rate Statement ..another 40 pips.
I made sure to set the straddle a little wider than recommended. I used +/- 15pip on anything that Forex Factory Calendar showed as High Impact.

Yeah that spreadsheet is a great reference tool. It came from Maxey&BeMac at forexfactory.com. Very cool
