News Trading Method

The market news can greatly affect the trend of Forex. Some of these news events do not provide much impact. 

It takes a long period of time on studies and experience before you can distinguish the effects of such news events that can cause a stir on the Forex market’s volatility.

News trading method is a strategy where traders often place their order before the exact time that the news event will occur. 

The type of order to be opened can be long, short or both. Through practice and experience, you can speculate the impact of the event on how the market will react.

To check for future news events, you have to visit a website offering a Fundamental Calendar. You can easily find them by searching the keyword “Forex Economic or Fundamental Calendar”

One of the most popular sites that offer this kind of services on the web is the Forex Factory. This is also a good place to participate on several interesting discussion and interact with the other members.


The Economic or Fundamental Calendar contains all future news events and it is the primary tool of the news trader. 

The date and exact time period of release are indicated on the calendar along with some details about the event.

Take note that some news doesn’t have enough impact that can influence the market to move. 

Opening a trade on this condition is a total waste of time and money for paying the spread of your broker. Anyway, this can be avoided by gaining more knowledge and experience.

There are two types of being a Forex trader which are the Technical and Fundamental. A technical trader doesn’t rely on any news events where their analyses are purely based on their charts. 

They are using various types of indicator tools analyzing the previous historic data of the market price because they believe that the “Market repeats itself”.

The Fundamental type of trader believes that the market is moved by events as what I have already explained on the first few paragraphs. They objective is to speculate the behavior of the market and open their trading position just before the news are to be released.

Choosing the type of trading style among the two could be difficult on your part. The best way to define the most suitable method for you is to try them and see if you can adopt.

Who say’s that you can do both of the method mentioned above?

Most successful professional traders are combing both technical and fundamental analysis and they claim to have the best performance on their trades. 

The strategy might be complicated enough for a certain newbie to be able to understand but all that requires is the effort to learn and gain the necessary experience.

Moreover, if you are a newbie trader then it is highly advisable not to trade by starting with a huge amount of capital because there is a very high risk that you will end up losing all of that investment. 

If you have nothing yet to invest or you just can’t afford to lose any money then you can create a virtual or demo account

Every Forex broker are now offering such account to let you experience how the market behaves and to familiarize yourself with their own trading platform.
