{quote} becase numbers miss bit I thought thta go down but maybe latter misread
if as per your post you were trading a bad number (miss) for the US then you should naturally expect EU to go up not down, but then that is also far to simple to trade like that, you need to understand the history of the numbers involved, what the normal tolerance of the estimate v actual is to effect the market and in this case if there are any seasonal factors.
with regard to the number just released it has not missed by much and is currently impacted by seasonal elements imo the number was not significant from the estimate and adds no new information to the market at this time.
also for a news trade your stop was too tight....
I took the short from 3544 but my stop was above 3580 but also my short was not because of the news but used it as a catalyst to the price level I wanted
