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.

I also believe that the news is an extra noise in the head for the trader. Most news stories are created specifically to manipulate people. You'll never know the truth behind the words in the press. Besides, the news is always late. If you trade, you can easily see that on the day of the news, the price either has already fallen or is already at its peak. News can be used for long-term or medium-term trading. Remember one thing: buy by ear, sell 2-3 days before the event.
