Traded papa John's again but this time on the short side as market sentiment regarding them getting bought out has worn off. Took a short and just closed

I have now decided to expand my portfolio to stocks as well due to excess fundamental/sentiment news flow as there is not always opportunity in fx. Stocks are easy to short when a company is fundamentally overvalued or easy to long on ground breaking news such as increased profits.

You're absolutely right about fundamental beating technical. My trading seems to have come on leaps and bounds since I've traded around the news. The only technical levels I use now are support/resistance zones, and price action. I've found all other technical analysis to be a waste of time (for me).

Pick a strong economy, wait for positive news, then use that against an economy that isn't performing so well. Vice-versa for weaker economies and negative news.

the most effective way to trade stocks is with stock options. Options volatility around quarterly earnings releases is one of the most predictable phenomena in the markets. Beyond that, you can use all kinds of equity options to trade fundies. See EWZ re: Brazilian elections coming soon. Elections (Brazil, USA, Brexit, etc) frequently devolve into binary trading events that can make your year or your whole retirement nut.

I only see fundamental trading beating technical trading if you are on a longer time frame like holding trades for 1-3 months. Other than that i believe they go hand and hand.

In my opinion both approaches can lead to profits, it just depends on the person which one they would pick and focus on.

Trade of the day.

Royal mail are anticipating bad returns and the market dumped it two weeks ago. I have shorted it many times and profited.
Took a short yesterday and has this news to support the trade this morning:

ROYAL MAIL (RMG LN) DOWNGRADED TO HOLD FROM BUY AT HSBC
ROYAL MAIL (RMG LN) DOWNGRADED TO UNDER PERFORM FROM SECTOR PERFORM AT RBC

The chart tells the story - a 5% move caught this morning

Good luck to those trading pound and euro with Italy and brexit concerns.

Hi, I just thought I would share this as I find it amazing how many people purely focusing on technicals rather than finding out what sentiment is driving the market. The reason why retail traders lose money is because they are not sailing their trades in the same direction as the big institutions. The big institutions only use technicals for point of entry or to close a trade. They would never use technical indicators to run a trade as they are trading billions on behalf of their clients. I use a professional news feed called Ransquawk which lets...
Absolutely not correct that fundamental news beats technical analysis 100%. Professional traders that trade for banks and other financial institutions and so on like hedge fund managers do have strategy they use more fundamentals and less technical analysis true. As for all of us here, which is "retail traders" we use more technical analysis and less fundamentals trading strategy. If you are trading news all the time, I would advise you to stop because you will lose a big portion or all of your account. We do not have access or any resources to trade like professional traders do. Also this Jeff person on youtube video, you can't find him anywhere anymore, possibly because he lost all of his investors money. The strategy that he is trading is a guaranteed failure. For us retail traders the best thing to do when there is major news, to stay out and not trade until the news is done. There is a lot of successful strategies on charts, like technical analysis, price action, chart patterns, candlestick strategies, supply/demand strategies and so on. There are a lot of strategies that do work more in retail traders favor you just have to of course practice and have a good risk management and you will have more wins then losses. News are unpredictable for us retail traders. There are a lot of examples on chart where there is news comes out and for example it goes down 60 pips, but in the next 2-3 days it goes up again to a first resistance zone where you could see it on charts weeks ago and so on. Retails traders use technical analysis and professional traders use news analysis.
