Getting started in fundamentals

I am very much a technical trader, it is rather natural for me. However, I want to learn fundamentals as well.

Without education fundies seem overwhelming. Where do you get started to get grips with it?

Feed recommendations will also be of value.

local library - macroeconomics books

I was just thinking the same thing, OP. macroeconomics books doesn't seem like the best idea as there are hundreds of books specifically on fundamental trading in forex. but which one to choose? what are the best/worst ones? has anyone any suggestions? or has anyone good recommendations of books that write about how fx market itself works?

You don't need a better feed than Forex factory's calendar in my opinion. Why? Because unless your a mad scalper - in which case the news often will whipsaw you out - the impact of essential important fundamental changes should last into days or weeks. This is also useful: http://www.forexlive.com. I used to subscribe to a news release service but believe me it's not worth the stress and spreads generally knock us out of anything useful.

Look at the "Today's calendar" in greater detail. It's interesting to look at historical graphs and compare the charts so you can get an idea of the impacts figures had in the past. If you look at forecasts you may find price tends to follow the forecast leading up to the release. I know traders who do this.

These are my tips to get you started. You may already know all this...
