Trading News for Day Trading Forex and Stock Market Strategy – Video
Hey everyone, this is Barry Burns from Top Dog Trading. Today, I want to talk about trading based on the news. News can impact the market significantly, causing prices to move up, down, or sideways. Back when I started trading, we monitored the news closely—sometimes even preparing two hours before the market opened, watching the Asian markets and doing lots of pre-market research. But I don’t do that anymore. Now, I spend only about 15 to 30 minutes preparing each morning.
Here’s why: Markets react to news in unpredictable ways, and trying to trade based on it isn’t reliable. Over the last 24 hours alone, we’ve seen headlines swing from optimism about tech rallies to fears of virus outbreaks, only to flip again minutes later. This back-and-forth makes it impossible to know how traders will react to any given news event. Sometimes good news comes out, but prices still drop because the market already “priced it in”—the classic “buy the rumor, sell the news” scenario.
The Reason Why I Don’t Read the News Anymore
When I tried trading based on news or economic reports, I found it frustrating. I would place bracket orders (setting trades to trigger in either direction), thinking I’d profit no matter which way the market moved. But the market often faked me out, going one way briefly before reversing or behaving erratically, creating chaotic patterns. The speed of these moves made it hard to avoid slippage, so I gave up on this approach.
Now, I ignore the news entirely. I realized that news only offers opinions and speculation, which can cloud my judgment—even subconsciously. Instead, I focus solely on what the market is doing by following price action, volume, momentum, and cycles. I no longer try to predict or fight the market. I simply go with the flow. This mindset makes trading easier, more relaxing, and less stressful.
Go With the Flow of the Markets
I don’t view trading as a battle, and I reject war metaphors. Trading isn’t about fighting the market—it’s about flowing with it, like Tai Chi. My approach now is straightforward: I automate key levels on my charts and follow the energy of the market in real-time.
Thanks for tuning in—happy trading, and I’ll see you next time!
