    Ahem. It seems not so many wise answers so far :p

    I wish I could help you. I did try trading the reports more than a decade ago, but I gave up. I tried 1) based on the numbers, 2) based on the difference vs. expectations and 3) spread/volatility capture in products like crude oil (place two orders buy/sell X ticks away from the midpoint.

    I couldn't find anything tradable, but hey, you might.

    That said, this is probably the wrong 4-year period to try to replicate whatever pattern emerged in the last 4 or 20. I would advise either having the TV with-you-know-who in the background or just totally ignoring the news and assuming that any sudden burst in either direction is covfefe-induced and likely to persist for a couple of hours.

    Congrats to @theapprentice and @flash crash for their trades today. :thumbsup:
    (I missed a couple of moves and grew frustrated so I'm gonna call it a day).

  6. B1S2 practices PRM (the only edge in trading) and will remove his stop overnight and hold.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, @Buy1Sell2 :p

    In the past yes. Now I go flat near the end of day on the day trades.

  10. New practice or just in this current climate where the market depends on Trumps' whim or mood that day?

    That 100 point gap down on Sunday was something.
