So I guess the EU is still bullish on the close... NFP's will overachieve or this market isn't completely manipulated by TPTB

Risk on Friday??

it should get to some silly level, and then NFP will lead the way. it does seem like it will blow away with the number. like 300k or -50k.

Well just following this completely predictable and sensible trend of global macro data and events....

1. Black friday annhialates all records in a supposedly down economy where 30% of homes are underwater or in full on foreclosure

2. Magical fed providing unlimited liquidity to the world

3. Sarkozy in his typical snide French tone is fighting for a new EU treaty

5. Markets soaring on soaring sovereign bond yields(wtf on this one most of all)


Oh and Obama is gonna get reelected so obviously there must of been a shitload of new jobs created... Magically... Even though I petsonally know of able willing people who have sent in literally hundreds of applications for even the most menial of restaurant jobs who are still unemployed

dude the NFP is so easy to trade: just throw on a huge overleveraged trade on e/u long or short a few minutes before the announcement, 125 pips margin call is your stop loss and use a 50 pip profit stop, hope for the best, almost always works perfectly, then just go shopping

I was over in the eurinaylisis thread lurking


They talk way too extensively about trading and far too little about pertinent issues like rancid cheese and food poisoning...

I have a very good reputation...................... as soon as they saw me there few days ago, gave two options: 1) Mend my ways, or 2) Go back to Eurusd thread.

Guess which one I picked.

GCI won't allow me open an account with them. They don't accept clients from USA. Therefore I had to settle on a demo account with them.

They have fixed spreads and close trading over the weekend. However, you can still place a pending order when they are closed.

When market created gaps of 100 or so pips over the weekend, Just before market open I used to place a pending order five or six pips away from their closing price and tp near the current market price. When they opened after the weekend, my order and the tp used to get hit in a jiffy. Don't know if you can do that with their real accounts.

ps. Don't forget to put a stoploss three to four pips away from their closing price.

i closed my s. got a 3528 sig.. so ill wait for it.. it will bring my stop just above the current high from yesterday. if not i dont trade. until below 3414.0- for a s on the bounce... or 3418 area as a long.. or a HH
probably best not to trade with nfp near. my 4h 8 and day is pegged above 80 rsi.. other then that. i wouldn't be trading. the 3528 sig and the rsi don't agree, but both can be correct.
