And also, are technical traders also affected by this? I’m sure they also read the news, go on social media, forums, etc.? When the “vibe” is just so negative and uncertain, do you consider that as an opportunity to make moves or more like time to be conservative?
All the media want to do is sell news. And only bad news sells.
Absorb as little news as possible. Some types of news might be key to your trading techniques: focus on these, log them, set them against your set-ups or trade management decisions and ignore the rest.
How do you keep up with what’s going on?
Just pick up bits and pieces in passing. By accident. Its enough. None of it will change your life. Your view of the world will only be changed by news a handful of times in your life-time
