I want to share my experience with NFP news This NFP trading strategy is devoted to the GBP / USD currency pair on the 15 minute chart (M15). The M15 chart allows early volatility to shrink, while it still opens up opportunities for us to capture potentially huge moves when market participants make more rational decisions about whether they will buy or sell based on the NFP news that has just come out. The rational trend that followed after the initial spike was the trend that attempted to be captured by the setup of this NFP trading strategy. Pair EUR / USD can also be used, but because GBP / USD usually has a daily range (range) greater than EUR / USD, then the chances are more potential. The 15 minute chart can be replaced with a 5 minute chart, but it will be very vulnerable to false signals.
