【Report】January 4, 2019 (Friday) Live Trade Broadcast of JFX U.S. Employment Statistics with出演×U.S. Employment Statistics Trade

Everyone, good job on the New Year trading and the week of trading.

How did your trading results turn out?

The old-school phone (feature phone) came home just now, tipsy from a New Year celebration and balance beam-like steps.

In the morning, I thought it would be a “Naka-nee Trade Day” after the holidays with a Goto-date slide and the end of the week, but after yesterday’s flash crash and the sensitive market, I traded while following the Nikkei average, with the late-long and late-short on the Naka-nee trade only barely scraping through—almost a risky push, but I managed to grab a bite.

And last night, in my specialty? and my favorite US employment data, the feature of the feature phone, I appeared on JFX’s employment statistics live stream, which I always view during the jobs report trading.

● JFX US Employment Statistics Live Trade Relay

And usually I listen on the PC screenYoshihiko TVListening to JFX President Kobayashi's talk from the arena seats, we moved into the US employment data announcement. Non-Farm Payroll came in at 312,000 versus an expected 177,000, a superb score, and revisions for the previous month were from 155,000 to 176,000, clearly positive overall.

Next, the unemployment rate was expected at 3.7%, but the result was 3.9%, a bit negative, though nearly at full employment. The average hourly earnings, which has been the focus since last year, came in at 0.4% versus an expected 0.3%, a result better than forecast, and overall it was a nearly fully positive result.

Normally, I would trade by buying USD/JPY without hesitation, but given yesterday's flash crash and the resulting risk-off market, the sensitive market and risk-off cross-yen currencies led me to switch from USD/JPY to EUR/USD, keeping position sizes quite small for this trade.

For that reason, this year's first US employment statistics trade was a euro-dollar selling rotation, and it proceeded smoothly, ending the New Year’s employment data trade well.

This year’s omikuji (fortune) starts with last year’s great luck revised down to a middle fortune, but for the first employment statistics trade of the year, the result is decent, and the season’s record is 1 win, 0 losses, a good start.

Many of you watched and offered warm encouragement; I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all!

After the employment statistics live trade, President Kobayashi, JFX, and I celebrated with a New Year party—my feature phone's specialty? drinking.

In trading I kept the lot sizes small and cautious, but at the party I couldn’t adjust positions well and ended up stacking a highly leveraged alcohol-related position with beer, lemon sour, grapefruit sour, green tea high, grapefruit sour x2, and I regret it a little.

This blog is also soaked in alcohol, and I am still in a pleasantly tipsy mood while writing.

Have a good start to the year and a nice weekend.
