I find it great entertainment. Theres one person and maybe a handful of others that have a clue here.
Well ... if you don't like it, then don't use it It's very simple ... Got it ?

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.
knowing when not to trade is one of the best method of trading. Just my 2c.

"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."

source: Market...
ADP had been "wrong" enough times (in predicting NFP) that nobody's gonna lean on it. As soon as the big number came out all the talk about how wrong it was began. But yeah, NFP's gonna kill and the USD will fly sky high.

No, another one. There were rumours in the market that an option barrier was also in place at 1.3000. And seeing the price action around that level I believe the rumours were true.

I think asia will park it up 50 or so pips from support, obviously a narrow range from London open up until release, and then the fireworks..

FYi pure speculation naturally...

Thanks for the reply.

gold on the lower edge. flip a coin.. but if jobs are better then forecast.. oh shit. this is just a baby chart. #1..
i was having a discussion with someone who just bought gold for around 50.000 Euro, which is his whole spare money. he said, "why should my bank make such an offer, if it wouldn't play out? i'm their customer for nearly 30 years."

i told him, they will love him, soon.
