Last night's non-farm payroll report was not ideal, but this is actually a good sign. Don't think that one employment report means the sky is falling; the Fed isn't so easily swayed.

To put it simply, economic data carries different weights. Ranked by importance: Major Non-Farm > CPI > PCE > Small Non-Farm. Small Non-Farm is just a starter, the real main course is the big Non-Farm data on Friday.

From the chart, this time the results were below expectations, but the market didn't panic, indicating everyone is clear— the rate cut cycle is still in place, and one data point won't change that. So instead of worrying unnecessarily, it's better to continue going long at the retracement level.

How to operate? It depends on your skill level and time. Beginners should stick to straightforward long or short positions without trying to do both; experienced traders with a trading system and ample time can take both long and short positions; if you're busy and don't have time to monitor the market, placing pending orders to wait for opportunities is also a good approach—safe and worry-free.

Non-farm payrolls are weak again, but there's really nothing to panic about this time. One data point can't change the overall trend; let's wait for the non-farm payrolls on Friday. Newbies shouldn't mess around; just stick to bullish positions. Experienced traders should buy more when they want to buy and sell when they want to sell; having more time is an advantage. I'm still holding my position at the pullback level; the rate cut cycle isn't over yet.

Poor non-farm payrolls are not a big deal, the main event hasn't arrived yet --- Friday's non-farm payrolls are the real test, so why panic now --- The overall direction of rate cuts hasn't changed, one data point can't make a difference --- Pullbacks are buying opportunities, just be honest and go long --- Newbies shouldn't operate blindly; only systematic traders can navigate flexibly --- What does the market's calm reaction indicate? Everyone knows what's going on --- Isn't placing orders and waiting for opportunities appealing? Why tire yourself out staring at the screen --- Non-farm payrolls, it looks intimidating but isn't that powerful in reality

The non-farm payrolls underperforming is what it is; anyway, the main event is still ahead. Friday is the real highlight; right now, it's just panic among the new traders. With interest rate cut expectations in place, one data point can't turn the market around. Keep going long and that's it.

What if the non-farm payrolls underperform again? The real star is the big non-farm payroll on Friday. --- The rate cut cycle is right here, so what's there to panic about over one data point? --- Newbies should stop overthinking and just stick to straightforward trading. --- If the market isn't panicking, I won't either. Whether to go long or stay long, I will. --- Waiting for opportunities with pending orders is a brilliant strategy. It's much better than staring at the screen until you're exhausted. --- The real action is on Friday; this is just the appetizer. --- This kind of market actually presents opportunities. Whoever is afraid will lose. --- Both bulls and bears can get a piece of the pie, as long as you have a system. I don't have one for now.

What’s wrong with the small non-farm data? The interest rate cut cycle is coming and must come. Everyone is watching, and it’s impossible to turn around just because of one report. I’ve even bet my three kids’ milk powder money on this logic. The big non-farm payroll report on Friday is the real test. Right now, those who are anxious are all inexperienced with storms.

Non-farm payrolls don't panic, Friday is the real test It's the same old story, when data is bad, they say it's a good signal. So when is it a bad signal? Are beginners missing out? Just keep waiting for a pullback, the interest rate cut cycle is still there Bull and bear both covered, this is the smart trading method I'll just place an order and go to sleep, worry-free
