Quick question to the more experienced news traders here...

Would you open 2 positions on each pair, say long and short Fiber with s/l 25 pips and tp 70 pips for NFP...

Sounds good theoretically but in practise is it possible?

Other option is to open a different position on each Dollar cross:

Say short USD/JPY but also Short Eur/Usd...

That way the one thats wrong loses 30 pips and the winner catches 50 - 100?

just play with pending orders.but use big ranges. dont set them 5 pips away from current price, NFp likes to bounce up and down for 40-50 pips in less than 20 seconds

Ja klar ... key-level ... since pre-x-mas ...

But question is ... will it continue ... or will it show some rejection at first again ... ?

My nose says ... it might be prior to an upmove ...

its common to see flat pa pre-NFP
Of course, but if you scroll back over the last 10 days or so, you will see that most of the major moves have occurred in the US session. The market has patterns whereby the 'driver' shifts from one continent to the other.

dont bother with SLs for a day like today... its better to sort out your levels from daily and weekly charts and put nice pending sells or buys... i.e. if euro goes below 2850 to me its dead in the water... but nonetheless there is the better possibility of waiting till next week and trading whatever patterns are set-up today will continue till at least easter/summer..

good luck

If you are prepared (I'm not) utilising SL's with some 200-300 pips distance you could try to catch both spikes, with 25-70 it's very likely you lose both sides.
Imo, the more complicated the less chance....

Depends who your broker is. This is a form of straddling which has been known for many years. The problems with straddling NFP are the whipsaws which can open both positions and broker spreads rising to such ridiculous levels, it's impossible to trade.

Just too risky these days IMO.

Pawpaw i will wait that it settles down that is about 30 to 1h time and for a pullback with a continuation this would give easy 40-60 pips,
if not wait for a reaction and then a pull back in the direction of the first move..
And look for possible supports lower the area for a sl.. But this is risky.

Its really quick must have fast fingers..
