{quote} I traded it last month and it only moved 8 pips and the difference between actual and forecast was the same last month. I think this time was an exception and the big guys just wanted to take down any resistance above and used this news to do that. Will see next month =)
I agree with this statement, the move was localized to one market i.e. eur/usd and was not consistent with other euro markets like eur/aud for example which should have moved much more violently if it was news related; this was a technical spike not fundamental.

Exactly! I saw the same set up. You could have got in about an hour early for that trade. Well done.

But, why are there two red arrows after the blue one?

Also not sure what time zone that is, it looks like the news hit at 11:00 on your chart. But, it actually hit at 10:00 (UTC) So looks like you got in two hours early. I saw many entry points up to two hours ahead of the news. But, I could have just as easily entered 15-30 minutes before. No problem.

My friends, the upcoming week is filled with tigers, clowns, fire rings and fireworks. Let's not forget the wild black puma at the end.

Only trading NFP this week

I've narrowed down my trading to 3 trades a month with about a 1:5 R:R with about 70% win rate (Past results)

Hope one day can become good as Tony at this

Might give ECB a shot with min lots but going in the NFP with max lots

Going Long on USD/JPY with 20 pip SL and 100 pip TP

hehehe You'll snowball it quicker than you think. Once you hit 10k, it's easy to aim 20k and then 50k... and so on... you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel but you have to be organised and withdraw the less you can from the account!!! LOL

Im going to be trading it nitecop after I've watched the Oscars red carpet. Looking back at previous releases, I notice there is usually a 25-50 pip long move on the EA in the previous 15 minute candle. Going to trade that and then hang on (if successful) for the release at 1:45GMT.

Good luck!

Momentum trading is jumping on the moving train to take a ride. This is sitting on a rocket and waiting for launch... hoping it doesn't blow up.

This is high impact news trading, trading short term volatility.
I don't care which way the market is going as long as it's going my way
