Does it really matter?

In your analysis, if there was no such thing as news, would you still be profitable with current price action?
I just asked what time the announce was going to be. Is that a problem?

In regards to NFP.

If you are not already in a profitable position(few hundred pips) guarded by a stop, simply do not trade this type of event. Price is too volatile and cannot be predicted, it would be like gambling your account. So for anyone that is new stay away from it tomorrow.

Cheers.
Im with you sir...for now..

Moshi moshi toshi,

So how do you trade around the NFP & other big "news" events, or do you?
Sure, sometimes I do. Mostly I just try to take advantage of the chaos that ensues
the first few minutes following the news. NFP is not one of my favorites because it swings TOO much.

FOMC is one of my favorites because sometimes it'll swing 30 or 40 pips one way,
then back the other way and then 30 or 40 pips back the other way again multiple times
before it leaves a particular price area, then it usually takes off in one direction or the other
and it's time to go for a ride. And when it completely reverses, it goes gang busters.

If you keep it small enough to not get hurt, it can actually be quite amusing.

EDIT: I'm describing euro/yen in this instance, euro dollar is only somewhat less irratic during news.

I agree, I love scalping big time news. Anyway, off to lunch, catch you guys after.

Believe me my friend the big sharks will never...NEVER, let you see what is going on in the real market deep.
This is true. And the Biggest sharks of them all, the CBs and their henchmen,

Looking forward for a mini breakout here using lower TFs (5m and 15m). Using temporary TLs (see arrows). Hopefully, it would give the early signal for the upcoming trend in the market.

Idea guys?

Hey man, how bad is the air quality where you live ?

I checked the pollution index here and it was like:

pollen: 226
ragweed: 170
fungus spores: 78
Bullshit: 14500

That with the ozone, I can't take it.

WOW.

Wished I would have scalped off the NY turd cutters recommendation.

They said .4350 would be protected and they weren't lying.
