Yes, too bad some people don't understand the reason why.

you can call up my broker, MB Trading and ask them if the prices ever did.

I would be careful, if you're looking to pick a fight. You will get burned.

One other interesting thing I have noted with some big announcements, since wednesday evening UK time, the markets have been ranging up and down from 1.98-1.99. I noticed we were getting higher lows in succession. The market was waiting for the figures but cable was going up slowly but surely. What I have noticed when this is happening right before or after the announcement the market go's in the opposite direction (down in this case) and if there is not enough momentum it will go back up. But in todays case it went for gold all the way down even with very weak NFP figures.

Traders closing their positions before the big announcements seems to help trigger a domino affect.

Anymore enlightenment from other traders?

Why is everyone so confused? NFP came out negative first.. GU, EU, etc.. all went up.. and then previous numbers were revised by a huge (and ridiculous) number.. $ jumped back.

Not sure why everyone is trying to come up with so many explanations? It's a known fact.. always watch out for revisions.. they completely reverse the trade.

All I know is that the Fed cut interest rates by 1.25% in less than a week and the pound didnt react as much as expected, lets face it, interest rates run the curency markets and if we didnt see a big move up for the pound, then it leads me to believe that in the short term, the dollar will see STRENGTH!! Im am selling to at least 1.9650 and then we go back up!.
Man that was a good call yesturday ,i sold with you you this morning,since we were seeing the same thing

Im gonna have to start sending you commission,looking for a buy soon now
