NFP 50 pips

It has been a long time since I long traded on NFP announcement. Probably it's because I missed this particular Friday every month or I simply forgot about it...

Anyway, December NFP Data Comes in Much Lower Than Expected. Nonfarm payroll employment in December came in very weak, rising only an incremental 18,000 following revised increases of 115,000 in November and 159,000 in October.

By the way, here's the trade:


GBP/USD - Short @ 1.9808, Close @ 1.9758 (50 pips)

Typically I will hold it for 4 hours, but I exited early to sleep!
