US NonFarm Employment Change
US NonFarm Employment Change comes on the first Friday of every month at 8:30 am New York Time.
What they do is calculate the number of jobs in US this month versus previous month. When the number is positive, it means that there are more jobs in US this month over previous month. When the number is negative, it means that there are less jobs in US this month over previous month.
Higher number signifies that US economy is doing better, which in turn means that US …

We seen big drop of gbp today and strongest fall was on gbpjpy which brings me some profit. Afer that i has some buy on bounce and more profit. Now must look on some currency pair which i want trade next week. Happy trading for everyone.
Some USD strength, some profit
I made some profit playing the NFP release today
I decided to go long UsdJpy, and short AudUsd yesterday evening
In anticipation of a good number and some end of the month Usd buying
The AudUsd short I took because I saw an inverted head and shoulders playing out below 0.77
on the hourly chart, and I knew that 0.77 was a strong barrier for the pair
My UsdJpy long I accompanied with a UsdCad long and both made slight profit after the release
AudUsd hit my TP - luckily - before going up again

Non-farm payrolls Today 4/12
Hello Duka trader
Today the last trading day in th the first week we see today NFP
so here is a picture of the number in chart
The consumer was in a bit of a sour mood in November but that's more of a leading indicator while employment is lagging. Consumer surveys from the Conference Board and U Mich were soft and so were car sales. It doesn't bode well for the future but for this month it's probably not a factor.
On the upside the Fed's Beige Book, which was collected up to Nov 24, was positiv…

NFP Numbers contribute to divergent monetary policy outlook
The numbers coming out of the United States were nothing short of fantastic.
Unlike any previous release, dynamics have changed in the markets.
For a large part of the week, the US Dollar was receiving a strong bid. There was some contributing factors such as negative data out of NZD and GBP, and the markets still considering the negative view point of the EURO where the ECB is seriously considering further QE..

Wild ride during NFP yesterday
I decided to trade the NFP release yesterday
I had a plan to make some pips:
I had set up a couple of buy stops in Eur crosses in case the number dissapointed
and i had set up a couple of sell stops too in case of a good number
My plan was that the sell positions would be opened in case of a good number and vice versa
I had set the buy/sell stops around 20-30 pips from market prices just before release
I had provided all positions with tight stops
What happened was huge market volatility at the …

After a week of trading I have nothing to show
Last week was an exciting start to the contest for me
I gained around 50K selling the Yen against several currencies and tried for more at the end of the week,
data release of the NFP was bad for the Usd though - and the low figure cost me 50K,
so I was back down to zero profit at the close of the week
Still, I can start again, and I will be looking hard at all pairs this weekend,
trying to pick a winner -- I am inspired now to build up my earnings slowly but steadily
Usually, after a dissapoint…

Huge Slippage
Another month has started and unfortunately some huge slippage has put me down right from the start.
Yesterday during NFP release I had a GBP/JPY limit buy order above market price at 172.95, roughly 10 pips away from the market price but things got worse and didn't go as planned and my limit buy order got a huge 50 pips slippage and I got my fill right at the high of the day 173.41 and at the point where I was most likely going to move my SL if I would have got the right price at which I intend…
