This is what I was told by Benny Liang. A veteran trader who is conducting a premium course in Singapore.

My question is. Does fundamental helps us as retail traders siege trending currency pairs?

Fundamentals tell you where the smart money is moving from or towards. While technicals tell you when to take note.

Does anyone here knows where can I read to learn more about risk on or off?

Gold, Swiss, US and Yen are risk on.

Everything else is risk off. Equities
You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and don't do

Risk-on risk-off is an investment setting in which price behavior responds to and is driven by changes in investor risk tolerance . Risk-on risk-off refers to changes in investment activity in response to global economic patterns. During periods when risk is perceived as low, risk-on risk-off theory states that investors tend to engage in higher-risk investments ; when risk is perceived as high, investors have the tendency to gravitate toward lower-risk investments.

I want to say I never look at fundamentals. What I really mean is I never ever look at fundamentals.

Price tells us where the smart money is going. The biggest financial companies in the world, with the best software, analysts and fastest newsflow, make price go up or down. If price is not going up or down, its because they're not making it. Do we think we are smarter and have better analysis and faster newsflow than the biggest global banks?

This is what I'm beginning to understand. Now, I must figure out how to trade it and survive. My own trader friends that trade intraday positioning frequently look at fundamentals, but really they're only following the same as the smart money. I don't know if they realize this or not. It does make them very good at discerning fundamentals.

It just seems to make more sense to follow along technically, or maybe I'm just lazy. That could be.

Yes fundamental helps retail traders. But you have to give enough time to learn it. It's a big syllabus. If you have that much willingness, dedication and time, go and study. You just can't be an expert by reading few things. I personally prefer technical analysis.
