Cause, for everyone to know, And have a discipline and not being greedy, that if u get 20 Pips from a trade, dont expect and wait for 50, book 20 Pips before they are gone..

So as people post, an average will come to everyone, that some made 5 pips maybe, some made 20 some made 50 .. so a person can judge.. that next time i will have max 20-30 pips , done, i am out..

to be honest i don't understand how this will make people less greedy?, it doesn't make any sense, a newbie logs on to see that you made 130 pips while they struggle to make 10, doesn't that make them want to make 130 thus making them greedy???. this thread is quite pointless, im ashamed to see that a 1kt member started this...
Egyptian and proud of it!

.. Haha.. its quite funny, that you dont understand the point.. but i am sure there will be other clever traders, who will get the point.. And understand that achieving 130 pips aint hard.. if a person focuses..
And no matter if someone makes 10 pips.. he/she should feel nice, that i made something.. And by posting around here, we all can come to an average,, that from such news we all can expect atleast 50 pips..

So when next time this news come, A person can keep an order already.. And be ready.. this is educational, as well helpful..

Pass your views and comments.. thank you

Well let me take things clear.
By posting how many Pips you made from the NFP data. Will give a Trader an Average idea.
Of How many PIPS on a trade can a trader make.

Some would have earned 150, Some would have 30..

BY Coming to an average, A trader can set an order few minutes before the NFP, with take profit order for a 30-50 Pips Gain..

So the main thing bringing out here, is just to share during the NFP, how was it going with you, you earned or lost, and what happened.. how can you change things for next time, so it doesnt happens again with you or others..
