To News or Not to News?
How Smart Traders Handle Headlines
Stay Informed Without Letting the Noise Sabotage Your Trading
“To news or not to news… that is the question.” – W. Shakespeare
Ok maybe he didn’t say that… but that’s the question many traders ask themselves.
You want to stay informed.
You want to know what headlines are driving price.
But you don’t want to drown in opinion pieces, Twitter spins, and mental clutter.
So what’s the solution?…
TOXIC NEWS ANTIDOTE
Stick to ‘real’ financial news (Financial Times, Reuters, Bloomberg). Follow headline sharers on X – not spin doctors. (See last week’s email for my shortlist.) Set strict limits – max 10 minutes of news scanning per day.
That way, you stay sharp on what matters…
You know what’s powering the market engine – and what gear we’re in.
But you don’t let it cloud your thinking.
Or worse, influence your trades.
Defend that mindset at all costs.
