Yes, you are lucky. For a sec I was thinking about going short, but I didn't do anything. Time for a nice weekend.

NFP trading is almost always a matter of luck but with new ranges that we have and with HFTs doing what they do, yesterday it was nothing but a gamble. And all in such a tight range that soon we are not going to have room to make any error

Skip NFP - NFP was, is and always will be a political news not a fundamental. They are manipulating it so much, that it is newer showing economical state but what politicians want us to think about the economics.

Right now Obama needs to improve his rating - that is all we need to know about NFP

 

NFP trading - it used to be 100-150 pips on EURUSD. Good old days

 

EURUSD trapped in between 1.38 and 1.39 with bullish trend prevailing. We can expect an explosion any time - even in May regardless of the saying

20 pips gap (1.3886 at a moment)

I was hoping for a bit of excitement in the Asian session, but there will be none

They closed it so quick as if someone was afraid that it will leak

The usual Asian session (max 10-15 pips range)?
