New Aussie PM

Hi Guys
I was long eur aud and we'll we'll in the money now I have been stopped out for a small loss
The thing that gets me is there was as far as I know no upcoming events for the Au dollar?
I always check Forex factory calendar
What I need to know is how do I check for these political events ? So I don't get caught on the wrong side of a trade again?

so, your assumption is that price moves exclusively only on news?

Hi Mate,
No i do not rely purely on the news, but i like to know whether there are any major news events that could effect my trades .
I had no idea of the upcoming events in Australia if i did then i would have closed my trades until the outcome of the election.
Thanks for you interest.
Regards

oh, thats easy. I do this myself. Open an Oanda account, and I dont trade with them currently but they have this handy feature that shows all news event on the chart with a small flag indicating if it should be of concern to the trader. You will have to google how to set it up.

It wasn't on a calendar, as it wasn't expected. A bit like a while ago when I was trading UJ and Trump decided to bomb Syria without telling me. Unfortunately with forex these things will happen from time to time, all you can do is be happy that your SL will save you from unfortunate events.
