However, I won't be here to see it. I have a long lunch on a Friday, My open positions will no doubt feel the effect though.

Gotcha - Non-farm Payrolls. Excuse my ignorance. Certainly is a lottery :cheesy:
 
I'm thinking that the bottom is about to fall out of the $ so I'm going for a bubble bursting 37k.

That should stir things up a bit.

Nobody else got an idea?

OK OK, stop laughing.

Looks like the revisions could have saved the buck.

I'm beginnning to think FC has inside info... or a pretty good crystal ball :cheesy:
 
Doh! Sorry FC, forgot that you currently rely on gravity to determine you entries. Still 50 pip trailing stop?

Very surprised that you have not developed a system to determine the result +/- your usual level of accuracy complete with backtesting to Abraham Lincoln's period in office.

yup.. still 50 pip.. but might tighten that to 30-40 for next week's testing..


Bracke, i have tried that, bit i always found using the Roosevelt factor to be slightly more accurate..

i fear Linc's beard might be obscuring some of the signals...
