Trading The News

News is used to Inject Volatility.

One of the most difficult ways to trade is to try to trade News Releases.

The Internet is littered with so-called robots or programs designed to quickly give you trading profits on the kneejerk reaction to the News (this is pure gambling)

We can never know for sure what the numbers will be in the reports; we don't guess

However, we can wait for the release and watch the reaction, and many times, a signal will form shortly after the release (within 5 minutes after release)

Many times price will trade counter direction to the intended news hawks

Use News for injections volatility and to fuel trade ideas based on price action
