Rdrainey,

I basically just enjoy getting a rise out of people, it's fun to me and it makes them re-evaluate their thinking, which probably helps them as well. To put it another way, I get off on being an asshole!
I can tell. I get off by playing devil's advocate.

Are most of you guys trading tomorrow? I'm unsure whether or not I should. I'm a little afraid of the volatility.

BTW, I would stay short on GBP/USD until it starts going back up, at which time I would go long. When I was long, I'd wait until it started going down and go short. When it quits going down and starts going up I'd go long again. That's just my own personal analysis...

Volatility allows you to make (or lose) a lot of money. You need to have a great broker, though. I tried to enter a trade for 10 solid minutes on NFP Friday with my previous broker, but every time I hit the "execute" button I got a "price has moved; order did not execute" message. My current broker honors my order every time I hit execute (for both entering and exiting positions). I do feel that it is better to stay out of trades though rather than risk losing money if you are not totally confident and/or mechanical in your trading. Nobody ever went broke by NOT trading. When in doubt, stay out.

Let me see if I have got this...

When it stops going down and goes up.. go LONG.
And when it stops going up and goes down, go SHORT.

Gee, thanks for that! I always thought it was better the OTHER WAY around!

Well, basically, if it goes up and you're long you make money, and if it goes down and you're short you make money, too. It seems that a lot of people around here want to make it more complicated than that...

Payrol is forcasted at 100k which looks like a lot less than last month. Is that correct?

Greetings all,

if we have a bounce to the upside after the London open, would you go long up to NFP?

absolutely, especially with ADP numbers coming in the way they did, I can only imagine that there would be a few speculators expecting a bad NFP number. Than again, it seems like the revision is what is really important these days.

Is it only me or is anyone else really expecting a horrid NFP # tomorrow. ADP has been pretty on since I last checked, at least in terms of relative strength compared to previous month. I can't be the only one thinking this, my guess is that many shorts will get out early, prior to NFP which should bring price back up in the 9430's. If not, they will all unwind when the NFP # comes out badly. Price is spiking again along the lower channel tl, so it would seem that if you were going to go long, this would be the place to do it(I would wait for some sort of confirmation first though).Here is a pic of the channel again and how we are spiking there.
