What is an NFP Day and why is it useful to add to my chart?
- NFP Days are one of the most important data releases monthly
- NFP (Non-Farm-Payroll) is the official release of 80% of the US workforce employed in
manufacturing, construction, and goods
- It does not include those who work on farms, private households, non-profit and
government workers
- Historically these high/low levels for the day create strong support and resistance levels
- Having them displayed on the chart can help identify potential strong levels and pivot points
