nice chart, so you are saying that upper channel line acts as a magnet, a target that we can hold long trades to, maybe even keep adding to longs for the test of that line?

Apex,
Could you expand on this a little? Maybe I am missing the point but I don't see what you are seeing.

Looks like 7 up and 4 down, which has an upward bias but not really statistically significant.
nice stats.. but this pattern is a lot more prevalent if you take the past 3-4 years. There is also the rise starting the week of or before the nonfarm which is a very high probability. The following week may have closed up but check out the following couple days after the report was released. Its one of the best edges I have seen with any reports.
