hi are you trading shorter timeframes?
if you want to have better trades without worrying too much about news my advice for you is to trade the longer TF and trading few reliable signals and avoiding the others. from my understanding this way you will most times be in the same direction as the news.

although i have not much experience, still can't understand why daily wouldnt work what trading strategy do you use? (if you dont mind telling)

some trades will end up with losses but with proper risk and money mangement you can limit those losses.

maybe also depends on the broker you use.

no fixed strategy.........most of the time my entries will be good.........but economic news or Dow Jones will take away all profit + loss..........

i'll try weekly charts and entry on daily or 12hr or 6hr charts..........

i see. well that's a good decision to analyze weekly chart and enter on daily or little shorter TF. a proper stop loss is important too. not too tight, not too wide, just right also exit on time as trends doesnt last forever. perhaps you already know all this.
i dont know what you trade and how long you keep your trades open but for gold it should be fine as it can form some nice short term trends that you can keep open for days, if not weeks.
