use google to see what economic event usually comes up the first friday of the month, but not always. then look for the acronym. anyhow, this self-absorbed stuff is comical, again. you are addicted to the thread like a kid to his xbox, but this won't help you make money. it's like a guru who likes to hear himself talk. i am sure all this time wasted could be spent better doing something else, but i know you won't stop. it's ok, but this is destined to fail, again. remember, when you own your house (no mtg), have enough in savings, and have a good retirement account (few million after 35 years not that hard). if you aren't close to having this kind of cash, you need to be honest about if you are making real money.
http://www.fxstreet.com/fundamental/economic-calendar/ Decent eco calendar... the long and skinny of NFP is that it shows where the jobs are leaving or going as such USD crosses get repriced after the results vs what was baked into the market for the report already.. last bit goes for most news if its well known in advance. On the other hand there is real time news such as something like Obama is on the tube atm and if the blerted out we are going to war with iran... the markets would shit themselves due to shock And the others are right... if you dont know what NFP is.. your going to be like a deer in headlights wondering where the hell did that come from
