How Forex Trading Reports Can Mess Up Your Trades

Posted by LocalGov on July 11, 2010

Any trader who plans to earn income from currency exchange reports must consider the effects of prior expectancies on the market. This means allowing for any movement which has already happened in anticipation of the announcement.

Let’s take an example. Imagine the US GDP is getting ready to be published. You forecast the news will be good, so the dollar should rise. However, if everybody else expects the same, the dollar may already have risen in the hours and days before the statement. Then perhaps, when the GDP is essentially announced, it turns out not to have increased quite as much as people expected. The alternative to trading with the aim of earning profits from news announcements is, naturally, to stay clear of the market any time that a major announcement is due. Most traders who rely on technical analysis for their currency trading systems opt for this approach and it’s highly recommended that beginners do this. You need substantial experience as a foreign exchange trading to earn money from the price fluctuations around forex trading reports.
