Thread: News Trader proof of profits?

  1. #1
    So it seems like each news trader is in search of the ideal broker to exchange the news in the level they will torture them self's changing broker three to four time to probably just end of going back to the first broker so I am ready to put up the News Trader Challenge to either find out is it really worth leaping back and forth from broker to broker or give people a feeling of relief and choose their broker based on better motive that becoming bad fill during the middle of news.

    News Trader Challenge:

    Show me a stay account statement that goes back at least one year showing that you have/are successfully trading the news together with at least 1 standard contract (100,000).

    The first person that can offer this in the next 7days I shall fly to Costa Rica all expense paid vaion.

    News trading is not dead. Trading the spike/straddling/auto-click always was.

    If you take the time to learn the fundamentals and combine them with all the technicals and market sentiment, then it is still possible to trade the news profitably.

    For all those lucky enough to get daily commentaries from Jimmy Young, they will know that money can nevertheless be made.

    You are right. News trading isn't dead. It's been made harder by brokers since there are now too many people doing news transactions. There is money to be made, if you know how to play with it. It's been tough in the last 3 months to news traders and if you look at the participants in this FF newstrading forum, lots of the new ones that appeared at the onset of the year have left and probably lost their pips.Only the more experienced ones are still here.

    Have a look at the difficulty these bad people suffered.
    This isn't a promotion of any kind as it sounds any time I post a link it is construed as promotion. This is to open the eyes up to the dangers of news trading. I'm sure somone will chime in shortly that happened to be in this mess. I've been in messes before and lost 7% of my account within.5 minutes during news. It's very dangerous to mess with. To put it simply these people seeking to get in on the spike with software are fighting a futile struggle. Hedge funds with billions are taking all the liquidity. There's no way to acquire in. And I'll also tell you that I have done this for 2 years. There's a strange coincidence that if you get in late and you're filled at the conclusion of the spike that the market will move away from you (drawdown) faster than you've ever seen it becuase hedge funds watched us all morons get overdue and now we're their profit generators.

    It's not dead, but it is dying and won't be coming back. When news trading surfaced I made good money and did others, but like any gold rush it is profitable for those in and briefly. The distinction with news trading is you are NOT dividing profits together with other people after everyone has caught on and the market is saturated, you are risking your whole account. I almost lost what do to news trading and I am NOT a newbie trader or new to news trading in any way. With news trading it is not if it is going to happen, but when. The brokers all know what's happening now, and specifically monitor your account once you are flagged as a spike trader. Many brokers will reclaim your profits, cost you news trading fees, and/or boot you and blacklist your IP. That is if they execute you whatsoever. Other brokers inflate the spread to then you can make if you are psychic and know whether it is a buy or a sell.

    I am doing well with technical analysis and I don't have the stress of potentially losing my account in 2 seconds. If that is not enough adrenaline for you, attempt roulette. At least you'll get executed.

    I think its important to distinguish between news spike and trading trading. Trading is the practice of novice gamblers. News trading is a different ballgame which requires a lot of market expertise and in depth understanding of fundamentals and market sentiment.

    News trading won't ever die. Trading hasn't lived!

    You have to know that reports to spike commerce. There are along with many others I have another strategy which works nicely on. I learned it from another trader.

    I know...I love it....it's fantastic!!! I've watched news traders from the sidelines for the two years I've been learning. News trading has been a thorn in my side. But just like everything else in this market, I never assumed I would be making the rules, I play what I get dealt.

    I haven't spent the time to get to know it, since I've never really believed in it the very first two years I've traded. Free money for everyone just never seemed to add up for me...

    However I would love to possess the understanding of some folks who've concentrated on it for a few decades, as I'm sure there is money to be made. . .but the pricey news feeds, and split second tails have never been my thing....and for the majority of folks making money on news, I would assume it is not their thing either. . .at least.
