Do you check news all day?

It is good to check what is going on in the world, however in my opinion it's enough just reading a couple or three sources (the most reliable for you) because otherwise you can get intoxicated up to the point you won't know what conclusions to extract from such amount of news.

I think having one news source and checking it once everyday is enough.

i often check news on bloomberg and nasdaq. helps me up to date with big news concerning the market

i don't often check news - maybe once a week before rate decisions or several other data releases like non-farm payroll, unemployment and building permits etc. i find that trading the news is a gamble since the market can respond in both up and down often spiking from the initial news and then spiking back to levels before the news etc... i usually trade the results of where the news takes price which for me is a more reliable way of entering trades. often i would enter on nes back in the ol days and get stopped out only to be correct in my directions but holding no trade due to spikes
