After whole night of rest. I woke up feeling thankful for following rchi on the gem yesterday. I m quite amazed with this new bb. I am actually speechless looking at the chart.. Rchi, you are my idol my hero my champion.. please accept 我一拜!
this is an interesting article written by a price action professional forex trader ...
READ THE CHART, NOT THE NEWS Do you know why I prefer price action over any other trading method? I prefer it because it tells me the result of any news event. Better still, it paints a collective and objective picture of what just happened. Instead of trading what I think will happen or should happen, I’m trading what actually happened. That’s a much more robust approach. And when you combine price action signals with the daily time frame, it becomes even more powerful.
At the end of the day, the market’s opinion is the only one that matters. It doesn’t care what you think, and it certainly doesn’t listen to your opinion.
I want to dig deep here because what I just stated is the root of the problem with most new traders. Individual opinions are what get traders into trouble every time. Well, that and an ego. Let’s face it, opinions and egos aren’t exactly a scarce commodity in the Forex market.
I get hundreds of emails each week from Forex traders around the world. One of the most common questions I get asked is whether I think a particular news event will be positive or negative. One of the more popular topics seems to be central bank rate decisions. Traders want to know whether I think a central bank will raise rates or not at their next meeting.
But here’s the thing… It doesn’t matter what I think or what you think. The only thing that matters is what the market thinks. That’s it!
This same type of question gets asked about past events as well. For instance, a non-farm payroll report comes out, and the numbers surprise to the upside yet the U.S. dollar weakens. Inevitably, my inbox begins to fill up with questions like – non-farm payroll was positive so why did the USD tank?
If you’re a price action trader, it doesn’t matter why it tanked. And if you feel a burning desire to answer the question above, perhaps you’re better off studying fundamentals or utilizing a blended approach.
My point is this… If you love reading price charts and studying various patterns, then forget about trying to figure out how the news will impact the market. The same goes for past events. Don’t bother trying to figure out why the U.S. dollar fell after a positive NFP report. Just pay attention to the price action. That’s all you need. Know when news events are occurring, but don’t try to outsmart the market. Those who do are usually disappointed with the result. Not to mention it will drive you mad trying to figure out why the market did what it did.
Final Words If you want to become a profitable price action trader, don’t obsess over the news. All you need to know is when events are happening and their potential impact on the currencies you’re trading.
Everything else is just noise.
Instead of reading the news, learn to read the price action on your charts. That way you will get the market’s interpretation of an event rather than just your own. This will help increase your confidence in any setup that materializes as a result of the news.
Never take a trade without first checking the calendar. My preference is the event calendar at Forex Factory. It’s well-organized, customizable and can setup to match your time zone, so no more fiddling with time conversions.
As long as there are no high-impact news events within the next 48 hours, I’m in the clear. Otherwise, I’ll stay on the sideline and wait for things to settle before considering the next opportunity.
as simple as why not have a cuppa instead of stressing out what will happen :) but it all depends on individual .. perhaps some like the thrill of riding high-impact news .. it's like sitting on a roller-coaster :)
in addition,we must know what is hot n wat is not. imagine the sequence of events in ur mind...iwcity...properties cos...malton wa...ivory wa........mahsing wb !
in addition...foreign buying....klci up n up....mkt vol up n up.
rchi dear .. totally agree with u that we must know what is hot, cold and lukewarm !! this will enable us to limit and scan more profitable counters to trade ... also cannot deny this luck thingy cuz trading is gambling ?? :)
rchi .. how u spotted mahsing so timely ? have u been monitoring her since she is under property ? else, let's say your scan is to exclude all counters trading below 200ma, she will not appear in your scan result ?? so, u run your scan per the industry currently played by the market eg property and tech ?
Another thing I feel personally, I know a lot of you use wave count to trade. I use it to buy stock as well. If a trend and theme is confirmed. The 3rd and 4th counter pricecaction is always explosive. Because whole marjet rush in. look at steel, mycron, look at bank affin. look at led jhm. dont play taaikor platvthe 2nd or 3rd in line mire meat.
wow rchi .. excellent entry levels !!! i am working on my scan list ... don't know FA so i scan by industry played by market ... after industry, then by tech signal ...
hehehe rchi .. i am still curious why u don't like mitra :) tot u played mitra WD last time !!! now she is exhibiting technical traits of your liking ??? broke out from the range and 200ma with HIGH vol .. if the pullback is shallow, there may be opportunity .. anyways, it's okay sometimes one just does not fancy a counter for some reasons :)
i have the passion to learn TA .. i just don't like to look at FA :(:( so, i do short-cut first aka copy-cat others .. u too rchi dear, have a wonderful weekend !! later ah con go watch kingkong :) LOL
con, you really like mitra huh? Later when I meet uncle Tan I tell him :D when you free, you go puchong find himlor.. he can buy you yongtaufu...kekekeke..
