{quote} Hi. Lol!! How true. My favoured post-NFP release plays are; a. Get with any momentum (spreads allowing,) particularly on any thrust candle closes 1min+, (pot supp/res factors allowing.) b. In the event of a strong decisive downside move - buy the 1st lo, sell the 1st p/back. c. In the event of a strong decisive upside move - sell the 1st hi - buy the 1st p/back. Of course, as you rightly say, you have to judge the reaction and PA before just jumping in. Many times I am flat until it settles down and of course, like you, always flat going...
What is your criteria for deciding that a trend or pattern has emerged and you aren't simply in an early chop?

{quote} What is your criteria for deciding that a trend or pattern has emerged and you aren't simply in an early chop?
Hi. Yeh, the chop/whipsawing is the risk. It doesn't have to be a pattern or trend, although i like to see any existing trend continue as opposed to price go against it, but this does not necessarily preclude an entry (s.) I need to see momentum first and foremost, and also quickly review the numbers released whilst that 1st 1min candle is forming, (I never jump in before that.) So I have the time between getting the data and that 1st 1min close (at least ) to make that 1st decision of entry or not, then I have a further 1min to make a decision if haven't entered on that - re next 1min candle close, then 3min, then 5min etc.... If the numbers of all the data are basically not at odds with each other and are deviated from forecasts and previous (and any revisions to previous match the pattern of the numbers just released) then there is more likelihood of a uni-directional reaction (barring the p/back (s.) I guess it's also about experience. I also cut any losers quickly ..I've been at it a long time so that helps maybe?

{quote} Seems like the market wanted the 25500 liquidity, a little less expensive than 24500!
GU

a bit tricky for today set up.
As this is the last NFP for this year, I suppose they (MM) want to end it with a bang.

It’s a bit of a Goldilocks situation – not too hot, not too cold is just right. A super high or super low jobs number could make the market dip, but if it’s just right, we could see some gains.

Is It All Doom & Gloom for Today’s NFP?

Hi. The classic 'straddle.' I've personally gotten into some terrible problems with straddles in the past, (back in the days when we'd see 300pip moves in a heartbeat,) when it whipsaws lol! The orders were too close together - and whip they were both activated. Also your problem is the 1st p/back - it can quickly put you into negative territory if one of them is activated, and then the 'do I hold it open, or do I not,?' quandry. Good luck if you do it.

I have something that I'll never understand. I have 2 accounts. A: Old account, used to trade in a swing scalp method (holding for at least 20 pips and above) B: New account with aggressive scalping method. My account A tend to lose a lot recently while my account B have close to 100% win rate. Today's data: A: loss 2 trades today B: win 4 trades + 1(in progress) today. Is my account A cursed
"aggressive scalping"... On the face of it, sounds like someone is just altering their RR thus the shift in win ratio.
Congratulations ScalaFX for coming out of the closet!

May news time pa, before come neutral now position weekend! 2633 / bounce target 2651 + while previous low to below 2506 limit breaks just! So 150 pips range even possible! Shake the whole tree to harvest all ripe to fall! Take care {image}
The shakeup can abruptly take out all stops and liquidity along the way before it falls.
Wondering which way...........

The f'n 500 point spikes in both directions, when they happen! If you get filled in the spike there is always lots of slippage!

Yeh of course I forgot to mention that - the dreaded slippage. it's one of the few occasions in the trading month that brokers can do this (dirty tricks,) with deniability!

My call :

In line with the rules, 1.2620 ( r1 ) is more likely target.

More is possible.

I don't see a problem with 1:1 RR if it's working.
Funny how that bothers you.
