Eu 1H close below 1406 would make me want to hold my short. Might regret it. Watching 1414 and 1388. NFP tomorrow is the wild card. Curious. Do you guys try to position way ahead for event like NFP? Or get flat before and enter during/after event? Or play by ear each time warrants a different plan for entry/exit/sideline?
Always in the market and build safe distance prior to NFP

uj high 107.48,, i closed uj long.. i dont know it or not 107.58 will get touched.. i suspect its a R ish.. and willing to risk some on a short... and willing to buy like above states 106.48/105xx low. but a uj buy while eu rises has some negatives. ej long may be a better use of my time.. long there also

u have 1/4 on your side and 1.12470 attraction for 1.7 test.. london rolled above 1388. you want a close above last week's 1451 now, then 1500. 1702 in sight now.. 1388 key level now..uj once more to 106.48 ish should give eu 1451 +.. go to sleep.. nfp, coming.. this thing probably dead till then. you're probably in the best trade this week for eu.. small loss, or big reward.. both of these are winning trading

going out on a limb here. sam druckenmiller has given a buy gold signal a smart guy. like i did with the famous boone pickens on oil. i would take the opposite trade on gold. first stop probably 1175 minimal.. this 1175 is not written in stone and may be modified.. at the current high 1303.56 the upside run has a better chance of a drop like 1175 (1174.9) as far as risk goes, the drop potential has better r/r.

the sub 1000 target on gold is still sitting nice and pretty at 930.9x.. meanwhile, on that drop it may be setting up 788.. atm gold level 1275.. i side with the potential of dropping 100 to 1175 is greater then to potential of 100 up to 1375. back to the cabin in the woods.

if hell bent on a gold long.. wait for 1175 is my advise.. by then the shine may be dulled on gold.

Gator...am I in the wrong here in my belief that today's higher than anticipated initial jobless claims hints towards tomorrow's outcome for the NFP ?
