Thanks mate.... She's served me very well since I started to dabble in her

You know what your doing with Dragon.
ha! told you didn't I

Yup, 2 running positions, 3 minilots in total.
1 running from 159 level (0.2) & the recently added was yesterday @151.22 (0.1) just got stopped out @80.
The rest of the shorts had been banked and cleared off coming up today.
I'll look to tighten the stops towards 152.75 before nfp.

Here's the primary chart I'm working from. That utl is still intact:

Price trading with a slightly bullish tone in the early London session off asian session and y/day's pullback lows at 6304, the 61.8% of yesterdays 6234-6412 rise, and is currently between that and other 61.8% fib, the 61.8% (6370) of the said pullback from 6412, yesterday's hi and the pullback low/asian lo @ 6304.

Of course, the monthly NFP circus roles into town later, (love watching all the dumb money flood the market, lol) so G/L with that!

Av Daily range: 181, today so far: 59

does anybody has clues on hw to trade currency during nfp news?
Absolutely. Don't trade during NFP.

If you with a market maker you will suffer huge spreads, if with an ECN possible large slippage (including slipping well past your stop loss)

NFP is one of the most volatile announcements, so always best to wait until the dust settles (ie about an hour) before entering.

The only exception to this is if your position is already well in profit (ie 200-300 pip) and SL at BE.

Just friendly advice.

If with a MM you could be stopped out on both positions.

As for crossing your fingers, I hear that is an excellent strategy used by top hedge funds.

I'm about to do the same with the second half of a 6378 short here. I've just locked it in +5 but it may be wiser to take what I have now.....
I may regret this but everything I have sees the lows creeping a bit higher and higher so I'll take what I got. Closed second half at 6347. Flat now and awaiting the fireworks.

Whoops, mistyped that, 6347 Dam FAT fingers eh Azim?

Yeppers. But I mistyped it as the bid price. Was actually 6347. Fixed now...
