Trading the Nonfarm Payrolls In Forex

The NFP report can result in increased volatility and a chance to profit handsomely in a short period of time. However, more often than not, new currency traders are not the one’s profiting but rather losing. The main reason is slippage, which is when your order is filled away from the price you wanted. 

The reason for slippage is simple, big traders stay away from these events and new traders all try to do the same thing at the same time. If the release is bullish for the EUR/USD, everybody wants to buy at the same time. However, most find that there is nobody willing to sell to them at their price. But eventually your order is filled, but at the seller’s price. 

Soon you find the market moving against you and you exit to keep your losses from getting too big. But what about those who were selling to you? As the market continues to fall, you start to wonder about these traders who sold to you and the fact that they are now making money.
