thread: NFP Sweepstakes

An idea told to me by a fundamental trader:

The USA and CAD markets are interrelated.
CAD Unemployment Change is the NFP for Canada.
The CAD Unemployment Change comes out 1.5 hours before the USA NFP

An idea that somebody may want to look back at over the past months/years. The CAD UC comes out before the NFP sometimes after. It is 5, this month.

FYI:

CAD Unemployment Change: Up from 23.3 into 51.1
USA NFP Up from -4( 89 revised) into 110

I guess being right about the amount is too close. That is ok, I am going to have to settle the 107 pips.

But in all fairness, it was a second article, so it likely will not qualify...

sorry, now you know I can not count either!

You men know how im is revealed through news releases? Well here's a perfect example... NFP was way better than expected (when considering revision), dollar reinforced, but ended up where it began. This informs us that a heap is are of dollar bears sitting around, trying to add to their position whenver the dollar reveals strength. I have a concept that governments/central banks dont trade around news time, meaning that this movement was caused by traders. Overall it says to me that the dollar bears are strong.

I simply found it intriguing GBPUSD was marketed from 2.05(2.0490 counts I believe if you have to wrap your orders about a figure -20 pips because you are so darn big) then 2.04 and bought again at 2.03.


I second the theory which governments/central banks dont exchange around news time.

FYI:

CAD Unemployment Change: Up from 23.3 to 51.1
USA NFP Up from -4( 89 revised) to 110

Therefore That My 52 analysis applied to the CAD NFP.... Close, but close only counts in nukes and horseshoes... Garsh Darn It! Recount!

I find it fascinating that people attempt to assign order to seemingly random events.

I believe it is interesting that people strive to assign order to seemingly random events.

And remember: arguably random events impose chaos or confer good luck upon seemingly interesting men and women.

I find it interesting that individuals attempt to assign order to seemingly random occasions.

I think that's how we devised science

But it is a rather intriguing phenomenon to observe in general(also in the regular ) =)

That reminds me of the definiton of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy.
