Hi Cloggie,

any suggestions for NFP?

UP or DOWN?

keep a eye on unemployment rate % number too, sometimes this is more important han the actual number, Cloggie would you agree or not

Absolutely, the numbers behind the headline number is always more important, look at the CI, it was not good, but the report was actually great news when you looked at the monthly.

@Kills

Hey Kills, if you're around and have time are you able to post a chart with some MML please. I'm at work and don't have my apps. Would be curious to see what levels NFP plays at.

Thanks a bunch,

Vlad

I have no clue, I am not going to predict a heavily manipulated news report.

As an opinion,......
Very well said.

NFP is expected at 150 k and payrolls expected at 175K and unemployment to fall 9.7% from prior 9.8%

I have no clue, I am not going to predict a heavily manipulated news report.

As an opinion, however, if the report is as far out as the IC and Challenger were earlier in the week then there is only one way to go; down, and by quite a bit. The market can be weird at times. We could easily see a large move up if the numbers are not as great as they were on Wednesday even though the NFP is good news.

As to trading this, I sit and wait for the numbers to come out, watch and ignore the initial reaction, wait for either a solid top or bottom and join...
You said recently one has only to make 40pips per day and can turn 1k into 100k or something along those lines, can you eloborate??

Remember the Vanilla expiry at 10am so they are going to try and keep the price below 1.3050 or 1.30000 to get the big pay out

Sure am glad i closed my short position 10 minutes before the data came out

I figured it was either already priced in and wouldn't move down, or it would miss (since the estimates were outrageously high) and would send it way up.

What is there to elaborate?

You make a solid 30 pips a day, take no losses.

You will make 100k in a year.

Thanks a lot Cloggie,

I really appreciate your help!
Came too late for this one but I copied it to a text file for the next NFP.

hey guys. Don't you think that everything is getting slower and slower. If my memory is correct I think that two years ago it wasn't a problem to read data two minutes after release.
Now we have better computers, better servers etc. and we are stuck in deep sh..!!§ :-((((((

Well, it seems that not only some brokers are inaccessible during NFP but also the Forex Factory website

I'm blessed with a good stable broker. And I have managed to make 2 trades after NFP, during the minutes that FF was inaccessible
