Komissar, as a newbie please don't be tempted to take a trade now or immediately on the news item. It is the most damaging gamble you can take as the erratic spikes that it creates can smack your stops quicker than you can lick your chops.

don't think so at the current juncture, current posture is too risky to take a short for good risk/reward ratio...give it time....things will be resolved accordingly

Fxchi put this in my journal a good little read. It should shed some light on this market and its manipulation to some on here.

Good point - though i believe NFP will be terrible and pound will be the loser (ironic).

Why will NFP be terrible - those who have followed the markets for years and have regularly read and understood the fundamentals - they know that numbers such as NFP are seldom real facts - they are more politically drawn and botched up with what the fed, treasury want the markets to react to. There is no more politics which can help anyone in the current administration - they obviously dont want to make it easy for the next team - so numbers will reflect the...

Come on man, it's quite a familiar pattern in the markets over the past few months, as and when worse than expected economic data is released. Dollar gains due to paring back of riskier overseas assets (repatriation of funds), further deleveraging, and a flight to so-called quality in the form of US treasuries.

Normal textbook economics do not apply at this point in time. They will return, in due course, but for now...
