More jobs lost than expected, but unemployment rate drops due to discouraged workers and thats good news?? I don't get it. Theres nothing good about this report.

Just remember it's all about perception and expectation...
and the players emotions that drive the price action...
rather than hard facts of data or events. Leave that to the
talking heads.

Here's a good basic article that explains the movements and
what drives the currency market.

are you an idiot?
lie data or not this is pure manipulation number... -20 K is a wise number...,or "peace" number for all side (country) (all side, except trader )..., good for US but not kick the GBP (and other country) right in the face also.,,
who expect 10 K? sure traders..., for what?? move the market...
this number also give a explanation why yesterday GBP stay cool in interest rate...,cos they already make a 'deal' to set up this all number.,and wish market not to get panic.., and i think they succeed...

good goverment...,


dollar will get stronger (in smoothly) ....,but before that let 'long' First...,

We as retail traders sometimes fail to remember that all the players in the market have very different agendas, you also have option players with options worth billions of dollars , the sellers of the options want them to expire worthless and will use their capital to try and make them expire worthless, the buyers of the options want them to expire in the money so they get paid and also use their capital to influnce price, this is a high priced chess game folks news anncs just add to the drama, all we can do is hitch a ride on the coattails of the big boys , picking the side that is winning is our task

Though nothing is a surety, having an educated guess never hurts. I have scalped the longs up and the shorts down and am still looking for a better position on the short side of things.

1.6 would be good, but might limit the fall. If we have a full fill back to the 1.6080 area on the chart, this makes for a better and altogether greater chance at lower lows.

Hovering in this area, well, some money to be made, but lets see the back fill and move on into some serious long term money. 1.5726 first target, 1.5358 second target.

The ones from above link.

These were the mains, plus a few little ones along the way.

I only play cable. I am not good or smart enough to tangle with others.

pactice , practice, practice. Here is a simple chart that can give you some good trades every week. It is very simple , a decent starting point or a good reference point if you already have some things that are working, I take a look at it several times a day

Wow, you guys have had a killer week. Many, many congrats. I am a newbie and I have been shorting the Cable for the most part this week
(+245 pips).

Currently short from 5647 and 5575 appears to be the next target/resistance. Not sure if it hits today or Monday.

At last we have (HAD) totally spiffying trends we can play for more than a few nano seconds

Being Friday I will be closing my euro shorts soon - cable shorts closed already

The market does its thing and makes up reasons afterwards..

example :

Shareholder: Mr Broker, why have my shares gone down ?

Broker: The Russians have crossed the Bosphorus


Next day..

Shareholder: Mr Broker, my shares have gone up - did the Russians go back across the Bosphorus ?

The leg down from 2.0 to 1.36 equals 64 cents
which is 32% of it's value.
32% of 1.68 is a loss of 53 cents
so this second wave may bring GU to 1.10
