September 7, 2018 (Friday) Current Account Balance, U.S. Employment Statistics Trade Report
Everyone, we still have a little of New York time left, but thank you for your hard work this week on trading.
How were your trading results? Today was centered on the beloved US Employment Report, a favorite of feature phones.
Before迎える the beloved US Employment Statistics, we focused on the仲値 trade toward the仲値 time, the standard time for feature phones. Today it wasn’t a Goto day, but since it was before the weekend, we entered only in the latter half of the short sector for the仲値 trade and were able to secure solid profits.
● Monex FX, which provides reports from the “Gara-kei Ninja of the US仲値 Trade.”
● Collaboration between UBS Group’s Dukascopy Japan and Gara-kei!
Now, regarding today’s US Employment Statistics, Gara-kei, in the monthly ritual on the first business day of the month,Yoshihiko TVwe listen to it gratefully every month, which has been very helpful.
A flirtatious Gara-kei since June this year has been listening to Gogojungle’sSuper Practical Employment Statistics LIVEon a double screen while trading.

AndYoshihiko TVandSuper Practical Employment Statistics LIVEtogether, we plunged into the US Employment Statistics release. Non-Farm Payrolls came in at 201k vs. 191k expected, which was positive, though revised down from 157k to 141k for the previous month, so it mixed positives and negatives. The United States is near full employment, but the unemployment rate, expected at 3.8%, came out at 3.9%, slightly negative but broadly in line with expectations.
Regarding average hourly earnings, which has drawn attention since around the year before last when the economy was heating up, the forecast was 0.2% but the result was 0.4%, clearly positive. Overall, slightly positive, but for this month’s Employment Statistics, we approached with a plan to leave a short USD/JPY position after the London Fix by buying 4 and selling 6 in a rotation strategy for the US Employment Trade, running it across Gara-kei’s main account and two sub-accounts, three accounts in total, playing it like a whack-a-mole (money) game.
Before and around the London Fix, the market tended to rise, with a buy 4 and sell 6 against, a defensive stance, but after the London Fix we managed to form selling positions well, and with a single whisper from a certain powerful figure about potential additional sanctions on China worth $267 billion by Trump, we ended with a substantial gain across the three accounts, a rare big profit.
However, this Employment Trade until the London Fix was honestly break-even or slightly modest profit at best.
As always, perhaps due to this year’s omikuji being a very good one, we are grateful for the luck and have a track record of 9 wins and 0 losses in US Employment Statistics since the start of the year.
Honestly, given Gara-kei’s current trade bio-rhythm, unless we watch thatprogramwe can’t trade US Employment Statistics; along with Gogojungle’sSuper Practical Employment Statistics LIVEas background music, it helps us trade more relaxedly, and even if the price moves were narrow, trading was rhythmic.
Today, the Asian session仲値 and both London and NY sessions’ US Employment Statistics ended in solid wins, so Gara-kei can迎え the weekend on a good note.
I wish days like today could happen every day!
There is still a bit of New York time left, but thank you for your trading this week.
Have a great weekend.
