Economic News on the schedule today:
November 8, 2013
October looks to be a difficult month to sift through because of the government shutdown, so today’s news will likely be ‘discounted’ to some extent.
October looks to be a difficult month to sift through because of the government shutdown, so today’s news will likely be ‘discounted’ to some extent.
Nonfarm payroll growth in the month is expected to be one of the lowest of the year, at 120,000 according to the Econoday, which will most likely have analysts expecting the Fed to delay tapering into 2014.
Remember, trading around Non-Farm Payroll news is VERY challenging even for the experienced trader because there are many other-timeframe traders participating. Stay patient, wait for the price-action to calm down after the news is released and then find your trades from there.

Are any of these Red-Star news events today?

Yes, today’s news from Non-Farm Payroll and Personal Income are both considered Red-Star news events which means more people will be trading at this time, so we will stay patient to let the chaos settle down after the news is released and when we find an entry pattern in the direction of the short-term trend we want to try to hold onto a runner for a profit-target because we can expect to see larger than normal trading ranges during this time.
