{quote} everyone who trades news should know that the day isnt just about NFP... average earnings and unemployment rate are also there... everyone here looks at nfp see's its red and goes long... happens every single month without fail on either side of the market
who dares wins

{quote} Your right, if only it was that easy LOL. But to my defense I don't trade the news, I already had a long on AU & when I saw the NFP data I went in again thinking it would continue north. Next time I'll wait until the excitement's over. I need to get better at this
BUT
find a strategy that works, fits to your style. If you cant be at the charts much then best to trade longer term, if you can be at the charts all day and dont want to have to wait then trade both, that's what i do
{quote} gu +10
buy gu @1.22705
They could all break-out (AU/EU/GU/UJ/UCHF)
would be 2 quick losses
SELL UJ @117.37
BUY GU @1.22502

Don,
Euro looks uglier by every minute that passes... I am afraid that $JY might rocket spike up...

That's it
{quote} that's an excellent way to trade i had my sell limit too @ 1.0520 , but decided to override it and enter manually earlier @ 1.0536
I did it that way because my time is limited

A move below 1.5 24 is very bearish in my eyes. . . . .
