Master the Market's Biggest Economic Event

NFP happens every month. This guide builds the preparation process.

β€Ž

Non-Farm Payroll is released on the first Friday of every month. Major currency pairs move 50, 80, sometimes 100+ pips in the minutes that follow. Most retail traders either avoid it entirely or enter without a plan. This guide covers the preparation process understanding what the report measures, how to read it relative to consensus expectations, and how to approach the session with a structured framework rather than a reactive position.
