NFP Results....

I know everyone did well on the NFP announcement today.

We knew in advance of August's NFP (and July's PPI and CPI), that politicians facing November elections in the US prefer a rate pause, thus US economic data must confirm an alleged absence of inflation. No inflation, no rate increases by FOMC, thus weaker dollar.

So if you straddled or simply went long on anything with dollar as cross, you made out today!!

So let's hear it. How did you do??

I placed 2 buy stop entries yesterday for 1.8938 and just closed them at 1.9103.. This had nothing to do with NFP though... It was just normal trading technique...

I am finishing my vacation tomorrow and I guess this paid for it... LOL

Thanks, It is sweet when it goes together well. Also, my stop was at 40 pips, but it never came close to it... I usually do not use limits or even limit orders. I look for consolidatoin and weakness in the currency against others to decide to close

Have a nice weekend, Scott

sknk,

Was it you said yesterday, you didn't care what the NFP was, you were gonna straddle that ...... well you know the rest!!!

That's what I mean, you got your system and you know it works. And when you know that you know that you know....then you know!!!

+90 pips on the move
-20 pips on the missed pullback

Overall, around 70 pips... that's about right for NFP...that was more than I got last month.

FXSol was fine. They've adjusted and did what they do (by 8:15 am, they'd added 35 pips for buy and sell stops) and I adjusted and just do what I do - I made a few grand!!

Just gotta love it trucco....just gotta love it.
