Hello Traders,
For 2014 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading!
Monthly unemployment numbers tomorrow at 8:30 Am EST.
Definitely a market mover news release.
For most traders, I recommend staying out, letting the smoke clear before trying to trade – unless you feel like being a gambler or your strategy is built around big news events.
Some more experienced and more capitalized traders will sometime try to “play” big news events by placing sell orders quite a bit above the market and placing buy orders quite a bit below the market, looking for the market to get out of “norm” and then return to balance. For me personally too much risk and the moves can be too fast but then again each of us is different in terms of trading personality, trading capital, trading experience and risk tolerance…..
Below is a 1 minute chart of the mini SP from the last monthly unemployment numbers as a reference. Was not as volatile as previous reports but still 11 full points of swings in the first few minutes of trading.
