Trading Forex Using News and Economic Releases

forex-news-trader.jpgPersonally I will tend to stay out of the markets around the time of these announcements because they tend to distort the markets, but I have heard of a few traders who make an absolute killing just by trading these economic data releases.

 

Forex news trading is one of the hardest trading methods to master. It is based on taking very quick trades straight after the important economic data figures are released each day, and taking advantage of the short-term volatility that occurs straight after these announcements. It requires great skill and knowledge even if you only trade these news announcements on a technical basis.

 

Generally, we will watch out for news regarding the interest rates or direction of interest rate such as the unemployment figures, FOMC rate decisions, release of retail sales figures, indications of inflation which can be gauged from consumer price index or the producer price index, news on industrial production, news that indicate a boost in business such as business sentiment surveys and consumer confidence surveys,manufacturing sector surveys and news on the country’s trade balance.

 

Different news releases impact upon currencies, and often lead to breakouts in volatility.The key to trading on news is to take advantage of these movements in volatility which can last a few minutes or hours, and even days into the future.By studying into high probability trade setups that has occurred consistently with the release of historical economic data, the forex news trader can devise strategies that can allow him to extract fast profits from volatile movements arising from news releases. The potential gains can be massive where the forex news trader can react quickly.
