DislikedMy advice to anyone is definitely use a news feed if you're trading intraday. You don't have to look at 1000 things. I look at a few things before the sessions and then I'm only waiting for my trades and have a news feed up... simple.
Not saying you can't do without it though.Ignored
The problem with news is it's a "fickle" crowd and depending on how things are worded --- if you're not in the know to know what or how a certain word or phrase is interpreted... IE Bernanke opens his mouth or even Greenspan for that matter... the news itself probably won't do you much good.
Not saying that I don't occasionally look at the news if I see a big spike or something. If news works for ya though more power to ya. For me it just stirs the FX pot.
With that said, I personally think news is more inside the box, because there is a good amount of pros out there that think you need it to trade successfully.
