NFP instructions for MANUAL trading.
1) NFP starts at 8:30am est.
2) wait 3 seconds or so after it starts and look at what direction the trade is moving (up or down).
3) Immediately place a trade at a lot size of .1 per $1000 (more if you are really behind on a challenge)
4) Drag the SL line to .5% of your account … it doesn’t have to be exact but DO IT QUICKLY.
5) After the trade is in profit by at least 5 pips (hopefully), move the sl to BE and let it go.
6) Either set a trailing sl by right clicking the trade entry dotted line and selecting tailing stop and set a trail of at least 80 points OR just close the trade manually at x$ profit. The profit amount is based on your risk tolerance… hold longer if you want more risk or just close out fast to secure profits.
