Must get that stuff together G. Sister had a baby at weekend so didn't have time

depends on your experience imo...

personally, i certainly wouldn't straddle as whipsaws are common, and i wouldn't enter a new position before the release as the actual can differ greatly from the forecast.

well if you are very familiar with nfp volatility then you can find probability patterns in it, actually the past few releases haven't been that volatile, compared to say a year ago...

also be aware of big levels nearby as stop hunting spikes are common, and be careful of entering on the first directional spike..

I don't trade it

But ask jawn when he wakes up. The guy slaughters major news events time after time.

I know that during things like NFP's u can rarely go wrong fading the initial move.
