Should short-term traders participate in non-farm payrolls?



Today I want to talk about an old topic - Non-farm.
Every first Friday of the month, at 8:30 PM Beijing time. Traders from all over the world are waiting.

I am waiting too.
But I don't trade.
Why?
Because non-farm is not an opportunity, it is a trap.

You can't guess this thing at all.
It doesn't have the logic of interest rate hike points; it feels more like rolling dice. Once the data is released, the spreads soar, slippage goes out of control - stop-loss is triggered early, and take-profit is delayed in execution. Do you think it's a system issue?
No, it is the market that is devouring greed.

Moreover, once the non-farm report comes out, the buying and selling volume instantly skyrockets three to four times, rendering all your previous technical analysis useless.
What should we do?
If you don't gamble, you win.

What do I usually do?
On non-farm night, I will brew a cup of tea, open the charts, and watch the market pant like a beast. I don't place orders, just observe how it moves.
Because real trading is not about rushing in,
but know when to quietly observe.
