Retail Sales on AUD/USD News Replay Practice
Practice retail sales reactions on AUD/USD with real forecast vs actual context and a replay of the first move.
Release Box
Forecast versus actual before the answer
Real SkillCandle Replay
Question view and replay reveal
The question chart stays frozen at the decision point. The replay chart keeps the same setup and shows the post-release move without adding extra markup.
How to practice this
Event-first workflow
- Read the event box first: previous -0.2%, forecast -0.1%, actual 0.3%.
- Decide whether that surprise should make AUD/USD pump or move the other way before you reveal anything.
- Use the replay to compare the first impulse with the follow-through instead of judging the reaction from a single candle.
- Write one next-session rule based on whether the first move held, faded, or reversed after the event.
Common mistakes
What usually breaks the read
- Reading only the headline and ignoring forecast versus actual.
- Forcing a reversal before AUD/USD proves the first impulse is failing.
- Confusing a fast spike with a complete reaction instead of waiting for follow-through.
Next Session Rule
Turn the macro replay into a repeatable checklist
- Before replay, explain why AUD/USD should react to retail sales in your expected direction.
- Review whether the first impulse was the full move or only the first part of the sequence.
- Save one concrete rule for the next macro replay block instead of only noting whether the call was right.

FAQ
Questions traders ask about this page
Why practice retail sales reactions on AUD/USD?
AUD/USD gives you repeated reps on the same macro family so you can compare the event context, the first move, and the follow-through instead of guessing from headlines.
Should I focus on the number or the chart first?
Start with the event values, but use the replay to judge whether the move actually followed through. The chart matters because the first headline reaction is not always the full move.
What should I review after a wrong call?
Review whether the forecast versus actual surprise really supported your bias, whether the first impulse held, and how AUD/USD behaved after the first reaction candle.
