US Capacity Utilization Rate and Industrial Production Could Move EUR/USD

The Capacity Utilization Rate and Industrial Production numbers will be out Tuesday at 9:15 AM ET. The two reports can cause the EUR/USD market to move, making a trade opportunity. 

The Iron Condor strategy can work here by trading two Nadex EUR/USD spreads, buying one and selling another. One could buy a spread below the market but with the ceiling where the EUR/USD market is trading at the time. One could also sell a spread above the market but with the floor where the EUR/USD market is trading at the time. Entry can be as early as 8:00 AM ET for 10:00 AM ET expiration.

This strategy is good for when it is anticipated the market being traded will make a move and then pull back. If the market pulls back to where it was when it started to move and when the trade was entered, that is ideal. The profit potential for this trade is $30 or more combined between the spreads. Each spread should have a profit potential of around $15 or more.

To manage risk, use stop limit orders. One could place one above where the market would hit 60 pips above and one 60 pips below from where it was when the trade was placed. Those points are the 1:1 risk/reward ratio points.
