I do study charts and trade PA this thread was for trading the news so i posted how do i trade the news successfully some people call it gambling but i think its not bad when u can scalp , get on some good swings trade the news by placing buy & sell order simultaneously also trade the retracement if there is any setup for trading the retracement it gives me good returns with a very small SL just wanted to share my way of trading news although no grudges with anyone . Happy trading
I use PA to trade the news as well. In a nutshell, candles belong in their context. If a news item is approaching and candles are in context and suggesting a short, you will get a short. In fact, I seldom bother with the news times. I watch the charts and act when the context matches the candles.

there are so many haters around I am new , i gamble , i keep pushing buy/sell button randomly or anything else but till the time its making me money i don't even care . I would like ask some senior PPL to teach PPL wuth some good stuffs about trading rather than bragging about their seniority

I suppose that is directed at me. I don't hate you, I just don't presume to have the knowledge or the time or patience to teach people my methods. Also, I don't presume my methods are the best or even worthwhile. So, I'm sorry if that was arrogant.

So there you are. What I hate is not you, it's to see people who desperately want to succeed in this business who haven't got a clue of how to achieve it. If we were to rationalise this, we would do the work, the research, and then trade the news. I imagine it would take a month or two or more to get that understood well enough to break even on news releases and that would be for someone already with an idea of how to trade.

I am not bragging about my seniority. If you want, read my 5,000+ posts and those with charts which I have shared. You may or may not learn something from me. I don't know.

Some people come to this business unemployed, with the last bit of money they have managed to borrow off credit cards, loans or relations. They get desperate when they start to lose or euphoric when they win. That's fact. That's not bragging. Do you want to teach these people? If you do, you had better be good. A lot better than me.

You have explained the difficulties with conveying what you know, very well.

I traded follow news few times but not sure. In America President Election, when Obama went success again, USD would go since Obama proects global companies. And Global companies often affect other countries's economics so USD would go up and others would go down. But I'm not sure how long USD stay its high position. Am I wrong in FA trading?

No probs mate. You're a better man than I in taking the time to try and convey what is a very difficult skill in a readable manner and with prudent limits. I hope the other punters on here appreciate that.

please don't suppose it was directed at you because u made some ironical statements which were directed at me so i am also sorry if i am rude . I am not here to teach because I don't have the sufficient experience and knowledge to teach people you have got the experience and knowledge which can be seen by 5000+ post you wrote on FF I am here just to share my ideas with others and get their views but its really getting out of track on this thread so i think it better for me to trade on my own ideas and strategies rather than sharing with people ............
so guys i really apologize for misguiding every one although i didn't put in any effort to misguide but it feels so by post of others on this thread and smikester no problems with you brother i do respect your knowledge and your contribution on FF
happy trading everyone

I don't think any trader on here is above reproach Gaurav so I would gloss over the odd misunderstanding and learn all you can. One day you will be guiding someone as will the next person and so on.

You will only learn by being less emotional and taking advice.

Now when I say you should apply yourself to bettering yourself, thats a reasonable piece of advice. That is not defamation. When I suggest that people should be grateful for what they receive here, it is because any knowledge that you receive here comes at the expense of someones time. Time is money, mate.

Its up to you whather you take this advice or don't. Either way, it impacts my life not one iota.

I have traded the News for the last 7 years. I never blew my account. The last 2 years have been more difficult because you had to try and anticipate if the market saw the news as Risk On or Risk Off, where as before, the News reaction was more predictable, much much easier to trade.

I first got into News trading via Forexpeacearmy.com, link is above

Also, Henry Liu gave out pretty good advice at the time. I still use the "Tradeable News Trigger report"
The attached PDF "News Profiteer E Book Lite" was and is a means for self promotion, but for an absolute beginner it is a start.

not being too emotional but first you guys start making statements about others and then say that there is a misunderstanding going on . If you have any doubts just go through the post smikester and you made i think post made by both of you are self explanatory i don't need to go into the details

I want to know is there anybody here succesfully trading news be it by straddling or trading the spike back ?
i had done that on some occasions in the past, but it is not something i would want to adopt as a strategy.

whenever i did that, it would usually be to benefit from a quick retracement that follows a spike. but in any such case i would target for only a small profit. also, my stake amount would be small.

my main focus is news trading

but i can say that high impact news must come with deviation or very close to deviation

other wise you will be looser .. market re acts and spikes but market only moves in direction of news where there is a deviation hit on the news

no one can take the spike profit .. as if you give both buy sell orders before news release .. chances are your both orders might be triggered and both orders might hit stop loss

I dont trade news but i do read it.
I read one news report that tells me everything that happen during the yesterdays trading session and whats happening today.
At the beginning of your trading news doesn't really matter until you get good. At the beginning it will just add more stimulus for your brain to interpret and you will just get analysis paralysis.
The news i read allows to be be in sync with the market more easily.
I generally follow Bloomberg- http://www.bloomberg.com/and Forex News - http://www.fx-insights.com/ blog for latest forex news and then take decision about trading the news.

hey !! I also love it when the market moves 70-90 pips within 5-10 minutes . I will tell you my story (plz don't get bored ) before 4 months when i started trading i thought that is should trade the news so , i kept gazing at the FF and refreshing it many times just before the news release but when i come back to place my trade after looking at the data whether it is positive or negative by that time the market would have already moved around 50 points so i thought of a layman strategy to capture the big moves on news release now pay attention...

Hi Gaurav. 132.

I too am interested in trading the news..... Have you got a step by step method for your strategy? Cheers

News can be tricky to trade due to the algos getting it first. If you are trading news you need to have a Bloomberg terminal in front of you so you are the first one in otherwise you will get carted. If a specific country has the spotlight on it (US with the tapering) then sometimes hitting the spike works but most times this will get you into trouble.

Best approach and most consistent is to digest the news over a few minutes then act, if it really is big news then you will have time to get on the move. Just randomly hitting a comment when you see the ladder twitch is foolish and will lead to frustration trading.
