You gained an extra 40 pips in a minute or so ... me, 2 hours with EU and currently 8 pips in profit.

{quote} Sure does, the news was definitely in your favour. You gained an extra 40 pips in a minute or so ... me, 2 hours with EU and currently 8 pips in profit.
I'd set it to BE and on another night I'd be tempted to leave it running with an automated jumping stop and see what delights I woke up to ... but NFP night is definitely not the night to do that. +17 is ok for tonight.
I started the week with no patience and closing trades prematurely, turning what would've been winners into losers.
I end the week holding a trade for 3 hours - hopefully this is my patience issue solved.
Happy weekend all!

Hi Marty,
Nice entry point and congrats on the trade.
I don't particularly like trading before LO. I waited until DP was cleared and entered on the 8:50 candle closing at S2 for +44pips.
I also took the G/J short at 9:10, closing at S1 for +43. A bit riskier as DP was looming but had both trades at BE before GBP news at 9:30.
I've tailored my trading style around your philosophy of taking direction from HTF's and I see things much clearer now, still make the odd rash call but I'm working on that!
Keep up the great work Marty, I'm sure I speak for many others here when I say you're a great asset to the thread.

All I'm trying to do is preserve our great thread. This is by far the best thread I have been on and read for that matter.

Girls and Boys, my decision is a personal thing that I leave FF. - It has nothing to do with the thread. Again, I wish all of you a great year with lot of pips.
