Looking ahead of NFP news A lot of professional traders choose not to trade during the NFP news release because of the risk associated with the increased volatility. If you are comfortable with participating in a market during high-impact news announcements, there are a few tricks that will give you an advantage.
The most important thing you have to keep in mind is that the most severe and exacerbate one side movement will always come as a result of one of two things. Either the NFP figures miss the market expectation or either the NFP figures are exceptionally higher than market expectation.
Should the NFP figures miss the market, this will have a negative impact on the USD value and would create a good shorting opportunity of USD pairs. On the flip side, if the figures are better than expected, there will be a good opportunity to open a long position. .Remember past results cannot predict the future. Trade safe
