There are 20 days a month to trade, 24 hours a day. That's 480 hours a month, 28 800 mins a month. NFP lasts about 5 mins.
Why on earth do you want to focus on the 5 mins ?!
By the way, there's about 25 000 to 40 000 value changes a day on a pair. You are completely ignoring those by focusing on the value changes on NFP alone.
I am not focusing only on NFP, nor ignoring the remaining changes, but paying attention to it as well. If you think it's not that important, just ignore it - it is up to you. Good luck!
