NFP .. or not to be, that is the second question!!

In this example, we failed.
The difference between the 2 examples is that i the first example, price just moved as it was supposed to without any manipulation before or after the event but in this, price moved as it should have but only after manipulation and that caused a problem. We got out with a small loss, but we lost the opportunity to make good returns from this trade.

So yes, we can technically trade the market during news events, but we must be ready to exit once we see any signs of manipulation

Kommentar:

Even in this trade, after I saw that expanding triangle, I should have known that we will get manipulation prior to the actual movement because as I stated on the original chart, an expanding triangle signals instability.

I missed it unfortunately
