*  Market Moving Report Tomorrow! 
Friday, January 6th 
US December Non-Farm Payroll Report 
 
Friday 08:30 EST /13:30GMT  (US) Dec Change in Non-farm Payrolls
(US) Dec Change in Private Payrolls
(US) Dec Change in Manufacturing Payrolls
 
What the News Desk Says www.TradeTheNews.com  
 
Last month the November unemployment rate fell to a nine-year low of 4.6% and underemployment also dropped to a pre-crisis low. The pace of payroll gains was in line with expectations at a healthy 178K, enough to support the Fed decision to raise rates in December.
 

This Friday’s data is expected to show unemployment ticked up to 4.7% and another 175K net job gains. That should keep expectations on track for more Fed rate hikes later this year and continue to support the strengthening trend in the US dollar.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below.  No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.  In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight.  In addition, hypothetical trading does no involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading.  For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results.  There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results

Seasonal tendencies are a composite of some of the more consistent commodity futures seasonals that have occurred over the past 15 years. There are usually underlying fundamental circumstances that occur annually that tend to cause the futures markets to react in a similar directional manner during a certain calendar period of the year. Even if a seasonal tendency occurs in the future, it may not result in a profitable transaction as fees, and the timing of the entry and liquidation may impact on the results. No representation is being made that any account has in the past or will in the future achieve profits utilizing these strategies. No representation is being made that price patterns will recur in the future. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

Dear Traders,

* Sometimes our biggest challenge when trading is simply NOT TO GET INTO A TRADE….One of my client said: “I am getting paid to wait”…

** This week and next week, crude oil numbers come out Thursday at 10 AM central since the markets were closed Monday.

Learning to be selective and controlling to urge to just get into a trade because otherwise “you feel you are not doing your job” is not easy but this is definitely one of the steps you as a trader must master in order to be part of the very small percentage of traders who actually make it….
