Thread: Fundamentals, Technical or Both?

  1. #1
    Hi guys, I read an article somewhere before which states that fundamentals doesn't affect short term trading and a few higher time frame traders (1 hour, 4 hours, daily chart. . .etc) trade exclusively on technical and has achieve great success? And vice versa, a few only trade only based on fundamentals and have good success also.


    Is it feasible to just trade based on technical or only entirely on fundamentals or can it be better to have ?

    They can, and in some quite dramatic ways - as many men and women who have attempted trading at times of major economic statements have discovered to their cost.

    It's likely to trade profitably only on fundamentals.

    It's likely to trade profitably nearly exclusively on technical analysis, but with comprehension of the time of economic statements etc., so as to avoid trading at these few highly dangerous instances when fundamentals can temporarily conquer all technical analysis parameters.

    There's but 1 market, 1 time frame.

    People attempt to cut it to pieces or sectors, that don't exist

    some conversation of time frames like they were unrelated and independent, to me that is absurd.

    Technicals are king, fundamentals are king I hear both decks, their point of view, and reasoning for their taste on either is specious.

    If you buy the euro/usd that you ipso facto have a position today, not on a different one moment, tick, monthly or daily chart not on fundamental currency or technical currency....it is one as well as, you bought x euros at y price. period.

    Do that experiment, generate a chart of your earnings, or expenses. You may see some changes, yes a few instances you spend more than twice per pay period, and that will be represented on the chart. Can you forecast how much you'll spend by utilizing your chart....yes into an extend it reveals objectively the influx of money and spending habits. Can you forecast that a bonus will affect your cost chart....yes into an extend you can forecast that fluctuations in cash flow will alter your habits.

    Today you lose your job....they equally fail. There was not any way you could have predicted that....to a certain extent there are factors that could have been foreseeable had you known your companies health, etc.. . .but some matters are simply arbitrary.

    That is my rough hypothesis on the topic, so to answer your query, to exchange solely on one would be to be blinded. Fundamental factors affect the economic situation, the reasons for money flow, technicals are laid out as a record of money flow. By the way time frames are only measure of movement of the money flow by x quantity of time.

    I like to both Fundamentals and Technical. Because Fundamentals and Technical separately didn't work well for me. So today I am preferring to both.

    Everyone I talk to says that trading fundamentals in FX will kill you.

    I think that the overall trend is basically influenced by the fundamental events. On the other hand, the financial market don't always go along with the fundamental situation. We've seen the stocks rising despite the debt problem of nations that were important. In the short-term, I feel it's a blend of technical and the moves of this institutional. Obviously, surprising news or astrophe is going to have the highest effect on the market.

    I'm completely agree with your this sentence unexpected news or disaster is going to have the maximum effect on the market. When Financial credit of America went down then market suddenly visit earth. It shows that unexpected news put highest influence on market.

    I trade very long term based almost completely on technicals - when I enter a trade my aim is to stay in it for 6 weeks to a year or two longer and ch major tendencies. I only utilize fundamentals very sparingly to choose the best pair to exchange if USD/JPY and EUR/JPY have exactly the same technical traits I look for but I only want to exchange one, I will use fundamental analysis as a final resort to select one over the other.

    Sure it is possible. But you have an increased chance of getting screwed. Trade math, overlook high-impact news, and you're out. Trade fundamentals, overlook a massive momentum movement, and you're dead.
