2750 hit for me. Another short for me here. Could be wrong but worth a belt
1.275x went well beyond my chart expectations for NFP. Slightly negative NFP but definitively very good unemployment number for the headlines (and election).....QE still open

Completed missed that break in the euro... and cancelling all potential trades there for the week. I got key untested 1.280x after but is trading air right now in uptrend mode for the 1st time since last year....

not only NFP, i think there are pips from yesterday's ECB left to be run today after the NFP.. It is a combination of move.. Look at GOld..

I exited earlier, but reaction is huge..

Yes I agree. I made a comment before that Euro was very shy after that huge news yesterday but ...yes it was waiting on the launching platform ...bastards played me. I though we were going for the natural leg down first for the break but nope....

Same here bud. Nothing to do on 4h but sit on hands now. Didn't even jump on board the longs at 2460... I thought price was going to drop to 2530'ish.

It has a lot of resistances. More important is where it stops.

martingale on roulette can be pretty lucrative, but as in trading, you must use stop losses...

problem is that the wheel and ball don't understand odds, each spin is a discrete event.. with less than 50% probability on each spin, no wonder casinos are so rich...

hmm... gas near 4 bucks.. just depends on s/p slippage. ej still needs 4 pips to get 100.46... atm high 100.42

i don't know.. but s/p may be close, there will be slippage more times then not.
