Inside Trade | The Cons of News Trading


Almost every beginner trader regards the news, especially those big ones, to be a great opportunity to profit. Yes, we cannot deny the sudden movement of a currency whenever a big news has been released. But have you ever considered its effect in case it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to?

Let's give a comparison. For example, you're strolling around under the scorching sun and enjoying the scenery of beach. While you were walking, you had observed that there were some individuals who are still learning how to surf and had just dipped in to test the waters. What would happen if those novice surfers encountered a really huge wave? The main tendency for those surfers to ride the huge wave successfully would be very slim, right?

It's almost the same with the novice traders. The news is like the huge wave. It's a great opportunity to surf but inexperienced surfers, who still doesn't have the capacity to handle the huge wave, might be tolled dearly. Big news requires a deal of knowledge in economics and latest in order to be ridden successfully.

The interpretation of its effect on the value of a currency may differ depending on the knowledge and experience of the trader. Often, newbies only look to its immediate effect and only focuses on a particular currency. They usually fail to perceive its chain reaction and ended up in a jumble.

What advice should I give to the newbies? Be the observer first. It wouldn't hurt if you'll read and observe first. Learn how things would go and never jump in without the necessary knowledge.

Don't risk losing your capital even though you may be sure the effect of an incoming news. Try to forecast its effect but restrain yourself from trading. Observe if it would turn out the way that you had foreseen it and do this procedures a couple or more of times to prove that it wasn't just sheer luck. In case your predictions were correct, you may now proceed to devising your game plan and hope for the best. Good luck.
