How to trade NFP in forex

Step 1: Switch to 15M timeframe & mark the high/low of the first NFP candle

Once NFP is released, a big candle will form on your 15 minute chart and this candle could either be bullish or bearish it doesn't matter. I used a blue dotted horizontal line to mark the highest and lowest price of that big candle.

Step 2: Wait for Price to breach the lines you drew

The lines you drew to mark the high/low of the NFP candle will now act as support/resistance. So, for me I just wait for price to breach the blue dotted line then i trade the breakout. In the diagram, price breached the lower support line so I shorted on the second 15 minute candle.

I agree with the above strategy used by @Arthurwildberry because I have also used it. What I will add is that when trading NFP, avoid using pending orders because the broker may not execute them.

If you set a buy stop or sell stop order, the price may gap through your stop price nullifying your order.

I use a similar strategy as @Arthur I wait at the 15 minute time frame for the first NFP candle to form then after it forms, its upper wick is marked as my resistance and tits lower wick is marked as my support.

I wait for price to reach the support/resistance and bounce off before I trade. As you can see in the image, after the first NFP 15 minute candle, price fell and touched the support line below then started rising so in such a case you go long.
