Hey folks,

In news Friday, CAD employment came out barely hitting our buy USD/CAD triggers, and while we did rally 40 pip initially, the move had trouble sustaining because of a slight conflict with their Unemployment Rate (came out a bit better than expected versus a worse employment figure). Also, the strong anticipation of US NFP also hindered the pair in making a larger move.

US NFP certainly gave us some fruitful price action Friday. USD/JPY sold off into key 82.00 support and had initial trouble continuing as I had warned in Friday's signal if we got a USD/JPY sell signal near 82.00. Anyhow, we managed to go both long and short at different times on the USD/JPY after NFP for some decent trades. EUR/USD was also a rockstar, but faded out after 10-15 minutes went by, and while that pullback was occuring, an EU member put out some verbal intervention on the EUR/USD which caused it to push down hard and dip all the way back down slightly past session lows before recovering. This made GBP/USD the much safer choice for a retracement buy and hold trade, which also worked out quite nicely for us in the Profit Mongers room.

There's no news due out Monday, and it is also a US Market holiday, so it may be a bad day for trading technically or using strategies that work best when the market has decent volume. I plan on taking the day off trading and returning for a fresh look on Monday night / Tuesday morning. See you then.
