Eight Days Up. Still Bullish. Still Waiting.
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
It’s the first Friday of the month, which means one thing:
It’s NFP Day.
The data probably dropped just before you opened this – and hopefully, it didn’t drop you in the process.
As I write this, we’re still pre-release.
Futures are ticking higher – up ~35 points – but we’re still tucked under yesterday’s high.
Which means: no breakout, no rejection, no drama… yet.
And honestly?
That’s just fine.
Because the Tag n Turn system remains bullish.
The chart is clean.
The bias is clear.
The only missing piece is the pulse bar – the Turn or continuation trigger.
With eight straight up days, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t eyeing a pullback.
But until the system tells me otherwise, I’m not flipping bearish on a hunch.
I’m keeping the charts stripped back.
Reset. Mechanical. Ready.
We’ve tagged the upper Bollinger Band.
Now we wait for the market to choose:
Do we turn and reverse?
Or break and accelerate?
Either way – I won’t guess.
I’ll trade it when I see it.

- there doesnt look to be much negative gamma to suggest a huge down move is possible, doesnt mean it cant happen, it just wont be MM fuelled.
Expert Insights:
Mistake #1: Front-running news releases.
“Surely this NFP will tank the market…”
Fix: Let price confirm your bias. Don’t gamble on data.
Mistake #2: Fighting the structure.
“We’ve gone up 8 days, it must reverse.”
Fix: Structure overrides streaks. Don’t fade a clean trend until it turns.
Mistake #3: Cluttered charts in volatile zones.
More lines ≠ more clarity.
Fix: Keep it stripped. If your system’s mechanical, your chart should reflect it.
Rumour Has It…
In a shocking twist, the NFP report has been delayed due to powdered sugar clogging the fax machine at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Insiders say a rogue trader bribed the janitor with a dozen donuts to stall the release until he could finish repositioning his butterfly spread.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg accidentally aired last month’s data but replaced all the job numbers with cricket emoji.
Traders on X are still debating whether = bullish or bearish.
The only confirmed takeaway?
Don’t trade the news. Trade the setup.
This is entirely made-up satire. Probably!

Fun Fact – Did You Know?
The term “Non-Farm Payroll” exists because back in the day, farm work was too seasonal and volatile to include in economic employment measures.
So the government just… left it out.
Which means every month, we get a market-moving number that intentionally ignores an entire sector of labour.
Seems legit.
What’s more ironic?
Even though it’s famously unreliable and regularly revised, traders still gamble their accounts on it.
Better idea?
Let the market react.
Then trade the pulse bar that forms after.

“When you’re waiting for the NFP to wreck everyone else’s plan first.”
Happy trading,
