Today we have a classic example of when the news actually don't matter at all.

More people Buying? Yeah... we will push the price down despite the bad news.

That's all there is to it... if majority is Long price is going down and vice versa.

Forex is simple, but it's not because we don't know where the majority of money is going. Then they just go the other way...

This Client Sentiment site isn't bad at all. Very nicely shows where money is going and it really works well. It won't show you where the money is going today, but it's at least showing the momentum.

That's it really about Forex. Us vs Them. Actually, it's Us (trying to join them) vs Us (majority which is consisted of Us).

Quite simple actually, but again, quite complex, because charts suck and there's really no reference point that you can watch at in which you are 90% sure is good enough.

That's why we have indicators, because trading on the chart with nothing on it looks impossible to say the least.

Maybe not impossible for scalpers, but catching 200 pips, 300 pips or more is really an art more than trading, because it's so hard to do that.

Alright...

This is why I ignore fundamentals, I don't understand it enough to put it to good use. I sure as hell don't understand as well as the top dogs, they also have algos that react faster then I do. I also think its a load of rubbish tbh, at least on a intraday timescale. Sure over months and years price will move in the way of the fundamentals but the actual news announcements is just a way for the MM to grab liquidity from us retail scrubs.

Yeah, agree 100%. News are just an opportunities for them to take our money.

Know what? I'm done with fundamental analysis. I'm removing the news from trading completely from this point on. It just clouds my view and I don't need stupid news anyway, because in the end, they don't matter at all.

I am removing everything from my trading from now on expect the indicator that I have. Real life, not real life I don't care anymore what's going on in the world. Got tired of all the nonsense every day anyway and following all these bullshit from Fed to Ukraine.

Done! What I think about NFP? Nothing! Done!

Scotteyy, ask yourself only one question...do I trade my own interpretation of the number released or price action (what I see)? If you find the answer you will be set for success. Daily ATR(14)=97 pips, the price can move 150% during important data release, can you afford to be in the DD 150 pips before you are right? I agree with your assessment for the long run.
Always trade your own plan...I don't provide trading signals.

This is the Friday effect where unemployment went up but more jobs were added.. stalemate then a typically less important data release and boom the sellers are in.

Typically 240k jobs are added so the add was below normal. That should be a concern for the FED suggesting the economy has tightened too much, it should defer rate increases and be dollar weakness.

{quote} See what you have done now. I am getting PM requests from folks here asking me to trade for them. Please Folks, I do not trade for anyone but myself. I am no signal provider. Well perhaps I am because I post my live trades here. On 2nd thoughts, I think I should start giving cryptic clues only. You must ask robknob and chiko if you want someone to trade for you. I have a business which keeps me very busy and forex is a secondary acitivity only. Thanks for understanding
Great advice Leon...

For me I avoid the number completely, I just keep an eye on the news so I know when to expect volatility.

Personally I wont specifically trade news, I just trade according to my strategy, but if I have trades open I'll typically do the following:

If they are close to my TP, exit trade.

Halfway to TP, move stop to BE.

At break-even, decide if I want to gamble that day.

Currently in a loss, just keep it open and see what happens.

I find price action during news very chaotic and difficult to read so in most cases I prefer to err on the side of caution. However, I have been studying major news events to see if there is some way I can make it work. For example, limit orders at key resistance/support levels, I guess the only issue is getting filled when spreads go crazy.
