Hey Guys,

I've been 100% technical ever since i started forex but I really want to start understanding the fundamentals behind moves.

Is there a good news site you guys can recommend that would help me do so? I am not planning to actually trade the news so I do not need immediate news stories. I would much prefer just a couple of longer, summarizing articles per day so I can read them without feeling overwhelmed.

Right now I read the Wall street Journal and the occasional Economist if that helps.

Thanks guys.

I don't really know any sites that would teach you this, but I do have one suggestion.

bookmark this url: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/markets/currencies.html

If goes into the fundamentals as they occur, if you check it daily, you will get a good feel for what moves the market and why. I do this myself.

Cool thanks, something like that would be perfect. Do you know how often the stories are pushed off the page though? Does it refresh every new day or do new stories push old stories down as the page fills up?

Thanks

I was going to suggest that myself, it's quite useful. Also the Financial Times (www.ft.com), but that requires a subscription. Lamdun - if you get the WSJ (I get it online) also consider a subscription to Barron's (www.barrons.com).

If you'd like to make decisions on the state of the markets based on fundamentals, I wouldn't suggest reading analysis from any particular source...There is a lot of noise out there.

You have to get to a level of understanding wherefrom you can build your own picture of where everything is suspended based on released data, which everyone has access to. I'd recommend starting with a source like wikipedia. Eventually, you'll only want to read tree waste in order to assess the opinions of other market participants.

You don't really need to read any articles, simply watch all of the major releases, wait for shocking numbers to come out, join the panic and cash out before it's over.

Top reports usually create trends that last a few hours - few days. You might even get lucky and get in at a start of a major trend, who knows...
