#event-trading

NFP week approaching. Here's what I'm watching: - Gold has been compressing into a tighter range each day this week - Volatility typically explodes 6-12 hours before the NFP release — not during - Open interest is shifting from short to neutral positions My plan: reduce position size by Wednesday, take everything flat by Thursday NY close. Let the noise pass, then trade the reaction, not the event. Sometimes the best trade is no trade.
