News interpretations anyone? Looked pretty "in line" to me. Today looks like an up day on the EURUSD. If it ends around here or higher, looks like I will be trying to short on MONDAY.

Looks to me like the 4% unemployment number might have been a bit unexpected and causing the USD drop and EURUSD pop here... No positions yet though because not seen a good price for my trading yet in the past day or so.

Haha, actually had some experience (few weeks) with institutional traders shadowing. They actually are more about the fundamentals with smaller amount of tech mixed in (at least the prop part, whatever is left of that which is closest to what is done here) - what info is not expected in the market and driving it up. But yeah, most retailers might not even want to go this way I'll admit.

Technically you don't really need to "understand" the US numbers, you just need to understand what information was not expected and how it kind of will cause a "dislocation from value" to allow you to trade overprice/underprice. Right?

So it will go to 1840 because that's where your tp is but it can't get past 1850. Got it.

Obviously only the unexpected counts, the "surprise". Because you very well know the market can "price in" a fundamental event when is no more a surprise.
This time obviously the Average Hourly Earnings were more important (surprisingly) than the payrolls, because the consumer inflation indicate the real "heat" in the current monetary policy context... and bla-bla-bla more and more on that

Yeah but don't you do this in your trading?: learn what is an "undervalued" (buy) price, learn what is an "overvalued" (sell) price - about, you will never nail it - it is an estimate range around the current price for each of these...

Then use news catalysts to enter? Since overvalued and undervalued dictate that the price will not usually trade there for too long?

And this approach would mean that you will need to know when others are/will overreact to (unexpected) numbers - in particular if the overreaction effect will last a few day(s) or not. Because often that causes it to get irrational for a day or two and carry it past most entries for long/short in certain news release situations.

Don't you do this? Or is your approach pure tech?

I go mostly technically, but I use to add fundamentals to improve prediction...
But I have never, ever, traded when NFP!!! Is too much for me!
I consider it pure gamblig.

Don't think an unemployment rate higer than expected is bad news for a currency at all time lows, it just can't get much lower.

NFP will drive EUR/USD medium term, in the meantime we wait for US stock market to crash and debt crisis to kick in due to higher inflation because of excessive QE and higher interest rates as a result.

Recession is long overdue! This one will be more like depression imo.
