sorry chaps.......I refer to the Dow and other indices.
But yes.....know what you mean......I only use news events to expect when the markets will move. The direction seems inexplicable.....just know that market could move then.
Sometimes just too ass-tounding fer words

The prior month was revised from 0.6% to 3.7%! WTF! How unrelable are these figures?
Anyway, that is the reason indices were up and the USD didn't go down.

You need to know what's already priced in to the market before you can predict how it will react. That usually isn't the same thing as the "consensus prediction" by "experts".

Plus timing is tricky. Equities did of course have a sh*tty day yesterday in the end. Dollar was still strangely subdued however. That said, we are now seeing very good 2-way interest in usd/jpy (where one would have thought instinctively the left hand side was by far the more vulnerable) which is serving to keep it more rangebound than you would perhaps otherwise expect.
If you're an options trader, maybe buying 1 week vol is the play. If you're directional only, I personally would look to maybe sell usdjpy here (maybe around 109.50 ish) with a tight-ish stop meself (109.80/85 area?).
Perhaps even eurjpy is a good play, but don't like it at these levels r/r wise.
OK - lets all watch usdjpy go UP in a straight line now I've said that

The rangeboundness has been going on for while now. 109.75 has been the roof. This has certainly not started after the news yesterday.

Markets respond to money
thats what I mean. hence why theres no point trying to rationalise was that good news or bad news
ehh makes sense..... maybe its more difficult a position to be in if one has to explain to someone why, but markets and money.

Trading the news works most of the time in FX if you know what to look for.

Markets react only to UNEXPECTED news. If there is a scheduled news report, the market reacts not to the news, but to the expectations of the traders. This means as well as the markets takes often for between 5 and 10 mins the WRONG side to fake out many traders. The real move needs often time to develop as the REAL MONEY first evaluates the news and then calls in the orders.

yeah agree on news trading,it works , but what does it works mean ? its just that whatever the news the market will respond to money flow ? or try to manipulate prices to guide then abuse the money flow ? is that too cynical ? or just plain wrong ? I dont know, but it must be terrible having to need to work out is the news bullish or bearish.. I guess also I'm focusing shorter term as opposed longer drive to fundamentals 12 months down the road.
Well maybe if we are trading intra session on news then I'd expect the market to take it all ways for that remainder of session. be open to it... expecting to be one or the other intra basis is a bit fixed I think.
