It is easy to get stucked in this trap when you read a particular economic news and tell yourself that it seems likely to make the market go in a certain direction. Once you convinced yourself that what you expect to happen is basically you digging for your account. In the early years of trading, many traders were stuck in the trap of trading in news and focused too much on fundamental analysis. 
 Trying to find out what the market is going to act next after the major economic reports are published appears to be obvious and useful to a trader at the time. However, you may be surprised to learn that the trader focuses too much on news that is losing money as prices tend to move in the opposite direction from what the news reflects.

This is true, the news can confuse you to the extent you wouldn’t know what actions to take again. Sometimes I will open the news and will be seeing lots of news with different opinions and they will just end up getting me confused cause I wouldn’t know which one to believe again. This time around I don’t even have time to check those, I just make research myself and trade by checking the price. No news needed.
