The Office for National Statistics in Great Britain will be busy releasing the following reports on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 at 4:30 AM ET. This will present a trade opportunity for the night before at 11:00 PM ET.
Various Reports Include:
- Average Earnings Index
- Claimant Count Change
- Unemployment Rate
All three reports have to do with employment in Great Britain. Average Earnings Index is the change in the price businesses and government pay for labor, including bonuses.
Claimant Count Change, just like the name suggests, is the change in the number of people claiming unemployment related benefits from the previous month.
The Unemployment Rate is the percentage of total work force that is unemployed and seeking employment during the last three months. All three reports are released monthly.
Straddle The Market
It’s recommended to use a straddle strategy using Nadex Spreads. To set up a straddle you would effectively straddle the current underlying market using two Nadex GBP/USD Spreads.
You want to buy the upper spread and sell the lower spread with the upper spread’s floor being the same as the lower spread’s ceiling. The then current underlying market should be as close to between the two spreads as possible. For this trade you can enter as early as 11:00 PM ET the night before on Tuesday, for a 7:00 AM ET Wednesday expiration.
Maximum risk should be $40. Either way the market goes you have limited risk.
