Thanks man! Looked a bit better on entry. Got a bit brave of original scalp, maybe.. Start to have thick head after some good trades sometimes..

GU may pull her up and looks to be a better setup,, trade anyway..

Hi Chill,
levels look tempting for longs, just miss the price-behaviour belonging to a bottom a bit. GL 2u2

weekly L5 in the area. today's L5 was in that area too. it is still strange to me we didn't get there... who knows if we will.

could make sense that we spike there tomorrow cleaning the few longs with stops below today's low...

well all signs are pointing toward a positive NFP.... some guys are calling this US "recovery" bottom bouncing.... And it may well be... but if unemployement % drops to 8.3% or lower then we may actually start to see legitimate USD strength instead of just safe haven attraction( am i really saying that?) lol

If people stop looking for a job the unp drops. When they're back on the market in spring when it's getting a little warmer, it will go back up. I'm not even sure why are the markets looking at this absolute fraud of a number.

its always been that way. we even had a president who wanted to include the military in the % to boost the rate. doing that or including the might ifs. would distort the change with the past.

No, I mean that's fine. That's the politicians prerogative. To lie, cheat, steal. deceive. My question is why are the markets paying attention to their BS. Or maybe they're just using it as a pretext playing the ups/downs.

its a benchmark. the players in the market have to have something to go by. it may at times be distorted. but its all we got. and if the market makers are using them. the odds are, they become reality.

i look at it like this. remember the oj trail? i was retired the first time then. and had a rotor cuff operation. so i watched the trail.
if you ever watched the footage.. the first guys on the scene were (cops) patrolmen. needless to say many were black. so when johnny cockeren did his fantasy trail. he indicated all those officers were in on framing oj.. including the black ones. the ones who secured the scene. jc indicated the black baggage handler was in on it.. they guy who testified a bag was missing. a baggage handler counts bags instinctively. its his bread and butter. all these people would have to keep their mouth shut. and yet all testified oj negative.
in the same way people indicate workers (including republican workers) gathering unemployment numbers are allowing them to be distorted. these workers have done this job for years with different administrations. that's a lot of people with a bias to keep their mouth shut. defiantly a hard secret to keep. not impossible, just hard to fathom.
