Fundamental analysis

any god suggestions to improve results trading reports and speeches?

Well, I heard if you pray to him he will speak to you, but as of yet I haven't tried it for myself.

Just messin with ya. My honest advice... think! Think about how the news will impact the perceptions of the market and act accordingly.

Trade the report after initial reaction after determining if the triger happy gunners just jumped the market to blow stops with the help of other trigger jumpers. Dont assume bad is bad and good is good. As for speaches they tend to keep all fingers on the red button. The market jerks back and forth within a somewhat tight range. Ohh what did he say it will whew.... it jumps 25 pips then Oh S###! he did not mean that.. trikle back 28 pips.. They are gonna Hike!!! indicates a pitster.. Whan off it goes 50pips in 9 seconds My bad .. it falls back to neutral. Remember you got pits all over the world being feed the speach live and the reports instantly. Somebody will react as most analysts think they got it! All it takes is for a trustworthy to pull !! and the monkeys follow. Sometimes the Trustworthy has special price intrests to stomp an option barrier. This is when the small spec gets hurt and the trade goes opposite of the good bad scenario Huh?? how is good news bad.. When it's in the power to stomp!

This is a good question.
I pray to God and give Him 10% of my income.
I ask Him to give me knowledge and I receive it.

By the way, my name is Igor, I'm Russian trader.
I'll be glad to find friends here.

amen to that

Are we talking about Mr. Bernanke here?

bernanke as God or the guy giving the speeches??!

From experience, it is best to be in and out of a trade as quickly as possible when trading reports/speeches and the way to do this is to lower your expectations of how far you think the price is going to go.

Sure there will be days where you only collected <40% of the move but in this game profit is profit, and getting it consistently will allow you to scale

Even there is no alternative way during the reports/speeches related news session unless closing our trades!

Just to hone in on the importance of strategy here, the aim is to simply make money so if you are are a:

1. swing traders, you should be predicting what the central bank is going to say
2. whereas if you are a day trader what exactly the central banker is saying is not as important as making sure your strategy can capture the short-lived volatility created from the event

Just have a plan and know your strategy

It's funny how this thread has got finally alive for the first time since 2006. Can't believe it's been so long that we've got all these forums

That’s the concern on fundamental analysis! We all like to know more on fundamental analysis!

I think both fundamental and technical analysis are important. Focusing to only one is not good for trading.

Fundamental analysis is very important to make money from this market. It will help a trader to make his decisions properly.

i love fundamentals however,,,,, the problem is does the market care or not...

so few months ago after the whole covid thing... we started to get increase us- china tensions and record breaking cases and hospitlisation in the states,, did the market care NOPE lol...

so can get frustrating ...

as for tips trading wait until the dust settles is when i get involved i dont try guess anything during speeches

It would not have been possible to trade without economic news. The movement in the market is good due to the effect of the news. If a trader has no idea about the fundamentals, he will never be able to make a profit. If trading can be done by combining fundamentals with technical, then the chances of loss will be less.

Firstly, you should keep in mind that fundamental and technical analysis both are important to get good trade ideas. Fundamental analysis help you to determine the direction of the prices of various instruments depending upon several economical events taking place in the global market. The technical analysis help you to figure out the entry and exit points using a set of technical indicators like, support resistance, moving averages etc.
