Trading The Non-Farm Payroll Report (NFP)

by rcanessa

In this article we will show an interesting way to trade with the data of the Non-Farm Payrolls of the United States.

There was a time when trading with macro data was especially interesting. If the data deviated x% of what the market was waiting for, we could perform a trade expecting the price to have an interesting continuity. In fact, not only can you manually perform the trade, but there are interesting software that could execute the operation in hundredths of a second by clicking the buy or sell button of our broker just by programming it (like Expert Advisors in MT4).

However, after a well-known broker was about to go bankrupt, due to the problems caused by this type of operation, the matter gradually became more complicated. In this way, trading on economic data as soon as it comes out, is no longer a good business. Although demo can be interesting, I assure you that trading in those seconds after the data is released can be a drama. Do not try that at home. However, trading with macro data can be especially interesting with the necessary adjustments.

I will show you one that has been especially useful to me.

The gambler’s fallacy in trading

by rcanessa

Regarding the issue of probability, a lack of understanding can lead to incorrect assumptions and predictions about the occurrence of certain events. One of these incorrect assumptions is known as the Gambler´s fallacy.

In the gambler’s fallacy, an individual mistakenly believe that the occurrence of a certain random event is less likely to occur after an event or series of events. This line of thinking is incorrect because the past events do not change the likelihood of certain events occurring in the future.

For example, consider a series of 20 coin tosses in which all have landed with the head side facing up: Under the gambler’s fallacy, a person can predict that the next coin toss is more likely to fall to the tail side facing up. This line of thinking is an incorrect understanding of probability, because the possibility that a coin lands heads or tails is always 50%. Each coin toss is an independent event, which means that each and every one of the previous tosses have no effect on future releases.
