It’s time for the ForexLive non-farm payrolls competition for the September report, due at 8:30 am ET on Friday (1230 GMT).

The consensus estimate is currently 215K.

The rules:

  • Guess in the comments
  • One entry per user
  • Closest to the actual number wins
  • Once a number is taken, it’s taken (first person to guess the number ‘owns’ it)
  • In the case of a tie, the earlier guess takes it

Greg Michalowski has generously decided to donate his excellent book “Attacking Currency Trends” to whoever wins.

Note: We have some outstanding winners from past contests that haven’t gotten their mugs/t-shirts. This is because we’ve bought the site and now we’re taking it over and buy some new merchandise.
