What about it retard? Last NFP print was way above expectation.
Is it slowing? Yes that's a mathematical certainty given high participation rates.

Go read the NFP that everyone says was a surprise to the upside. Specifically read the non seasonally adjusted numbers. The unemployment actually went up. The market cares about the topline number right now, but the fine print says rug pull will happen unless some miracles take place.
That rug pull might be a few months out or a perhaps a year. I dont know, but this is 1998 all over again. For those that dont know you could have sold the sp500 in 1998 put the money in a money market fund and bought sp500 in the Summer of 2002 for less than you sold it. That is a long stretch and most of us struggle with that idea, but that is probably what we are looking at right now.
AI alone is going to be a massive issue. Its a great creator of efficiency for companies that use it, but they lay people off. Those people cant find work quickly and likely many will never find work that pays that well again. That means the pool of quality consumers is being damaged. Eventually that will be a reckoning. AI companies have been priced on growing revenues and amazing margins. When the consumer issue blows up those revenues will come down and/or the margins will shrink. My guess we will see equities trade sideways for a long stretch over this.
Anyway good luck with your investing.

Yall gave back the NFP gains huh

You can, it's pretty much simple, I'm on the 11/12 NFP streak 😉👌

That's a classical reversal trade... NFP hysteria...
But the overall trend for JPY is bearish and EUR is bullish. That means shorts are short lived and they are ready for being overrun when the SL isnt tight enough.
Today it came close to 171 again. I missed the EURJPY but traded gold which made a huge drop at that time. I traded the countertrend like you, a small pullback from the extreme move.

NFP

Well very early at the morning Trump said something at July 3rd that banged the NQ up and down 100 points in no time. That you cant predict. And you had the NFP (nonfarm payrolls) coming out far better than expected.
Today Trump will sign the Big Beautiful Bill, but then it takes around a week until the markets react normal again... everyone is now digesting this bill and there is the tariff deadline at July 9th.
That would be a ground shaker that wipes off trading accounts... because your stop loss wont be hit becuase of gaps, instead the account gets liquidated.

never mind this was the 15 min on GJ yesterday. That big candle was NFP (news) you can't predict direction but u can expect volatility during heavy news events. If you're serious about trading you should be paying attention to data reports that are going to come out during that day.

You have a minor sell off followed by a rise in bullish pa with consolidation - stop order above the high of the consolidation.
SL below consolidation may have tapped (I don't know if price broken above then below within that candle). SL above the minor sell off wouldn't tap.
That's just from that chart you provided - a higher time frame bias may not have supported longs and the trade wouldn't be taken.
If that candle is linked to big new like the NFP you wouldn't be setting up an order at all though and it would have been missed.

My size is already small. At 0.1 lot. And at that time the price was still high and I was at a profit.
Again in my post I already say I can't consider myself a trader as I have lots of flaw. So I don't really understand what's your purpose here aside from making a remark that does nothing to help anyone.
Yes. I know you. You are the champions of risk management. And all you do is that. You will blast down everyone who did slightly bad and say they don't have plan or RM. Yet you offer no real strategy or tell how to do proper RM. You aren't here to help. You are here to blast ppl so you feel your ego boosted. Cause I have ppl who actually will tell me my RM is bad and will tell me what to do. I have few ppl who actually told me stuff that helps.
I trade on NFP. Based on the previous ADP that was bad so I was hoping the NFP also would be bad and raises the prices. It is risky and I was banking on that. That's why I cut my losses quickly. And I turn it around and made a small profit instead of the 300 which I will get if I earlier just take off my profit.

Put on vertical debit spreads to catch a moving market. Lately market has been flatlining thru much of a day, so hard to make money on 0dte verticals. However, you can use market awareness to put on 1dte verts to catch (next day) moves on days that typically produce some volatility: CPI, NFP, other macro data announcements. This has gotten more complicated given Trump's social media posts are unscheduled, and the latter move the market more than big data sometimes.
So, I still try to trade 0dte verticals. I will most often try to buy call verts after a bit of a dip. You pay more for verts that are closer to atm. You pay more for verts that are wider. But the wider they are, the more the potential profit. For 0dte verts, I typically will not enter until about 90 minutes into the cash day. I am always trading SPX. I'll only place a trade if it looks like there is going to be an active day. I know, not so easy to tell - sometimes the first hour will be active and the guts of the day will be flat.
Options value decline thru the day, so the spreads will be cheaper if you wait. I often try to catch end of day moves, only entering in the last 90-45 minutes. The ideal scenario is you buy a $15 or $20 wide spread for the end of day play, and the front options ends up itm, with the short option expiring worthless. I don't let anything expire, though, but will close the spread in the last minutes. Sometimes these work really well - I have had a few 10+ baggers in the last month. The latter make up for the many losers that are inevitable.
Everything said above applies to 0dte flys, which I play in the same way, using symmetrical flys with $10, $15, or $20 wings.

Not only are you not a trader, you also don't understand how simple math works.
You can't manage risk, you can't size your trades according to your plan (probably because you don't have one) and you're trading NFP based on.... nothing really, just how you feel and think.
I really hope this is some kind of a bad joke otherwise i actually feel sorry for you :(
