Avoiding credit rating agency news

My trading are getting badly affected by all the recent unexpected news especially those coming out of Europe. The worst of this is the news coming from credit rating agencies.

You plan your trade so well and then a stupid news comes out about some credit rating downgrade and you are gone.

Can we discuss some ways in which we can avoid this credit rating news? Is there a time period which we can avoid where credit rating news is likely?

I think we can focus our attention on the 3 main agencies Standard & Poor (S&P), Fitch and Moodys.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

the thing is as far as i know their news is so sudden its almost impossible to plan for it

and avoiding it is usually ending up in disaster because those guys are dead serious in their analysis and everyone seems to follow them

i have my doubts regarding the way they grade and they annoy me
but nothing i can do about it

The best way to avoid it is to trading with stop loss. When you're in the green, partial profit taking. Then move your stop loss on the left over lots to break even or plus whatever amount of pips you want and let your trade runs free.

Is there a news service that specialises in rating agency news releases?

.......oh boy !! The wonders of the retail trading world.

So...tell me my friend, but tell me honestly, OK. Do you really believe that a 3 trillion a day market has to conform to your errr "well planned trade" ?!?

It makes more sense to believe that you got it wrong , it happens with all of us.

There is a million of possible forces acting among this market. Bernanke and Trichet "swapping" Banks plundering, media spin, sovereign BS, hedge funds stop hunting, etc...etc...

Welcome to forex my friend.

And just for the record since thanksgiving 2009 (Dubai) the trend has being down because of fears of sovereign default, if you are getting hammered ....shame on you.
