How To Trade This Event Risk

Bullish USD Trade: NFPs rise 180K or more; Unemployment Rate holds steady
- Need to see red, five-minute candle following the print to consider a short trade on EURUSD
- If market reaction favors a sell trade, short EURUSD with two separate position
- Set stop at the near-by swing high/reasonable distance from entry; look for at least 1:1 risk-to-reward
- Shift stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is hit, set reasonable limit

Bearish USD Trade: Employment misses market forecast
- Need green, five-minute candle to favor a long EURUSD trade
- Implement same setup as the bearish euro trade, just in reverse

Forbes : The Five Laws Of Gold

Here are The Five Laws of Gold, as Clason wrote them (according to the book "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George S. Clason http://www.amazon.com/The-Richest-Man-In-Babylon/dp/1479377341 ) :

1. Gold cometh gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put by not less than one-tenth of his earnings to create an estate for his future and that of his family.

2. Gold laboreth diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.

3. Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling.

4. Gold slippeth away from the man who invests it in businesses or purposes with which he is not familiar or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.

5. Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who followeth the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.
