trading NFP with a wrong reading!

I was preparing to trade on the release of the NFP figure by tuning into fxstreet webinar coverage with Valerinia. It is always interesting to get there opinions. As normal a worse than expected figure would result in spike down and better or around the same as consenus spike up, with possible follow through with risk appetite. I trade gbp/jpy.
The consensus was anywhere between -30k to -50k, depending who you were listening too.
Bang on release time fxstreet goes:
-75k!
i have my trade application ready i hit sell ,
literally a second after fxstreet goes;
"sorry -36K".
well it cost me 100pips and some

Some choose to and some choose to stay away from NFP - thats not the question, the question is you expect better than that, dont you?

Hell yes, was that it, just 'sorry'!

Mind you I've seen the same thing on Bloomberg, admittedly not across something as important as NFP!

Looking at a chart there wasn't even a way to trade out of that

On the plus side, if you'd had the right number you would have made 100, not much of a consolation but at least you know your analysis was right!

I don't rely on a lot of news sources, that includes FF. It's not the first time I've seen or heard of these types of mistakes. Unless you heared it from the actual source with your own ears, then you shouldn't put too much stock on any new provider's posted news numbers. I don't trade the news or fundamentals, instead I stick to my trading plan, which consists of cold, hard charts and price action. If you stick to your plan, news or not, when you get a valid signal ... you should take it.
