"Just checking with a small handful of traders to see what
may be considered a "neutral" outcome for Friday's NFP given the
outsized expectations that have been engendered by the ADP report from
Wednesday. MNI survey median calls for +160k NFP but trader expectations
are, perhaps, slightly elevated above their more conservative economist
counterparts. Talk suggests a reading in the +175-200k reading should
leave euro unfazed, assuming it is around current levels, though a
weaker dollar may enjoy slight lift from such an outcome."

Impact? Yes. Large impact? No.
Those that point to the horrific effects of AGW have a monetary interest in doing so. Al Gore has a major stake in a company that trades carbon credits; had carbon taxes gone through, he'd probably worth close to $1 billion today.

Solar and volcanic activity have a much larger impact on the Earth's temperature than man ever will.

a mofu can pull you back in.. a close below the line under the box is better
but is it a must? how about on small TF's, is a break of one of the edges enough to take action in your view?

Can someone point me to a good writeup on trading the NFP? I understand it at a very basic level but I am interested in learning the nuances too.

Like the last NFP, there was massive uptrend in EURUSD in the hours leading up to the NFP announcement (I didn't understand why this happened). NFP numbers were good so the EUR took a huge plunge (this bit I understood) and then an hour or so later the price moved sharply up all the way to pre-NFP levels (I didn't understand this one either).

As far as I can remember there was no other news affecting the EURUSD pair during that time period, so I am at a lost to explain the pre and post NFP prices.

Thanks in advance.
We're all stories in the end. Just try to make it a good one.

Cool thanks, took a long myself at 3004, but got out at 3018 (61.8 ret)..., may look to re-enter, when & if it does another feeble poke through support.

If it follows normal MO we'll get a bear flag (weak retrace) from NY close to TY open...
Here are the two indicatos. You can modify the period's boundaries in order to fit your timezone. Mine is EST+7hours.

You must place both of them on your charts, as the first one colors bars from the European session and the second one colors bars from the US session.

The indicators are most useful on 1 min charts and 5 min charts. But they can also be displayed on 15 min charts. Above that time-frame they become useless.

Where are you seeing those numbers?
On the time and sales.
The market depth i got only shows the top of book so I only see a few of the orders coming ,but as soon as the orders are executed they do appear on the time and sales.
making green pips large and red pips small this is my goal.

No it's not really. I didn't ask if I should trade, I asked how to trade. No one is born with trading knowledge, everyone learns from the basics. I wish to learn and that's why I posted my question.

But it's easy to be an asshole on the interwebs and his reply is on par for this thread.

A daily view so you can see where my lines come from. Possible short on a retrace back to 3130's.
