I don't care which way the market is going as long as it's going my way
{quote} It takes time. When new, it's best to focus on learning and making sure you survive in shark infested waters and not blow up your account. Here's some insight into my trading day. I trade 99% just the London session and the E$ pair...
As for reading the news headlines, to be blunt, I would read them, and still not realise that they can have an affect on the markets, and which markets etc. I guess that at the moment I am not switched on to that...I am always amazed at people that can do that though, so you have my admiration sir. Now, in your honour I shall go outside and light up a Marlboro Ice.
Cheers

Keep in mind that the GBP news in 3 hours has multiple releases, which could lead to some whipsaw and or slippageCan't wait though, nothing risked, nothing gained... H

{quote} Hi Pipkiller, thanks for the time taken to reply, and for the concise advice that you give, I definitely need to incorporate this into my trading...

- WAR or Military moves that could lead to a serious conflict.... Usually triggers a "Flight to safety" Money moving into Yen, $, Swissy and US Treasuries
- Elections in countries of the major currencies... Markets often go range bound into elections and important elections that can upset the "Status quo" they give the market jitters.
- Major natural disasters... Usually negatively affect the local markets but often trigger a massive influx of money into that country from relief and insurance payments. GBP is affected by insurance payouts.
- Major players getting ready to make a speech.... I don't give a rip if Kim Jong Dum Dum or any other irrelevant wanna be idiot is beating his chest
Major cable financial news outlets will let you know what is important..... They will talk about the same thing over and over and over and over every 5 minutes until the horse has been dead 100 times over.
Biggest things I see on my radar today in what I think are the order of importance
- FOMC Statement today... Markets most likely range bound into this
- UK Data.. May give a some volatility in what I think may be a range bound market today
- Ukraine military told it's OK to use weapons to defend themselves... Need to keep an eye on Ukraine in case SHTF with Russia
- Israel did airstrike on Syria... More tit for tat shit. As long as it doesn't lead to a full blown war, shouldn't affect anything.
I don't care which way the market is going as long as it's going my way

{quote} with multiple releases there is always a chance of market discombobulation...leading to potential whippersnappers.
