That's like asking for a strategy after AT showed the way on both sides.

Let's put it this way. At this time on a Friday you are at the mercy of end of week flows but unless a new high for the day is set, there should be limited follow through on the upside.

I don't want to come across as promoting the Amazing Trader but if you had access to it you would not have to ask that question.

GBP got within 15 pips of the AT target. See my earlier post on the AT risk for 1.3115, good directional post. .

EURUSD just ran stops above 1.1543-46 but could not get through the magic 1.1550 level.

One thing that remains is that despite pre-NFP "significant" hype, players have not been violently set off in one direction and remain relatively sanguine.

JP, EURUSD is tied to GBP even if it lags due to a weaker EURGBP. So while GBPUSD trades bid above 1,30 on Brexit optimism, it is limiting the EURUSD downside.

AT currently shows:

If GBPUSD holds above 1.3059, then risk is for 1.3115

There is NO WAY for me trade the NFP numbers because I am NOT In the Circle or faster than my dealer to react. Physically just not there.

Sooo... all I can do is fire up my speedy stacking robot in an attempt at not hopping on the locomotive but maybe on the 2-3-4th waggon in the train.

2nd sooo...
IF USD rockets it will have meant that published NFP is higher than expectation and/or AHE is higher than expectation

and IF USD dives it will have meant that NFP and/or AHE are lower than expectation

The alternative is to be flat and wait out initial reaction and lurk for a fading opp.

JP, I do not run positions into a random #. AT showing bullish EURUSD pattern (our beta (demo testing) automated algo bought at 1.1494) off the low and same for GBPUSD but new ball game after the data. Targets would be 1.1516 in EURUSD and high was 1.1514 (close enough) but as I said not suggesting trading into this #.

I created the program and am still amazed at how often a currency trades to an Amazing Trader (AT) line, almost like a magnet?

It is no coincidence as it is one of the strengths of the Amazing Trader.

I created this short video to illustrate and show how you can use AT lines as targets. If you have not mastered this it is a skill you can develop that should impact your trading.

This is one way to use AT and its uncanny ability to identify key levels/targets

The worst decline for very profitable longs is a slow one (prompting: " no momentum on the way down-btfd) and then a very sharp steep decline (perhaps one day limit down as a result of some event)
however two numbers seem important at the moment --7391 last month low which was an inside month so less significant and 7205- the low of August which will more than likely bring the 6500 target to the scene. On any parameter this bull is totally out of whack.
