- 0:08think we're getting close to uh three
- 0:10weeks so hopefully you guys have been
- 0:12powering through kind of crazy I've been
- 0:14uploading every single day for three
- 0:15weeks seems Seems insane there's been
- 0:17some days where we've literally uploaded
- 0:18two videos a day
- 0:20um it's really motivating I want to keep
- 0:22it up uh we're almost a month into this
- 0:24and we're we're you know we're working
- 0:26we're working slow and steady all right
- 0:29um you know we're we're getting to where
- 0:32we need to be we're slowly you know
- 0:34we're almost done with the building
- 0:36blocks we're almost getting into
- 0:37strategy probably by the end of the
- 0:39month we'll be done
- 0:41um we'll be done with the building
- 0:43blocks and we'll have the strategy
- 0:45locked down
- 0:47um but today is not about trading today
- 0:49it's about kind of like psychology but
- 0:51or it's sort of about trading um but
- 0:53since we had CPI news data today I
- 0:57figured today
- 0:59um is one of the best days for us to
- 1:02talk about news in the market and you
- 1:05know what types of news you shouldn't
- 1:07trade
- 1:08um why you should be patient with news
- 1:11um and I was actually just on a a zoom
- 1:13call with my Discord and it was it
- 1:16actually made me rage
- 1:19um seeing how many people
- 1:22traded during CPI and before CPI and
- 1:26wanted to trade after CPI so I figured
- 1:29let's make this the video for today
- 1:32um
- 1:33so let's get right into it let's talk
- 1:36about news in the market okay so first
- 1:39of all this is going to be who knows how
- 1:42long but I'm going to try and cover
- 1:43everything about news
- 1:45um possible in this video so hopefully
- 1:47we don't have to recover it again and
- 1:49I'm trying going to try and drill this
- 1:51into your guys's skull
- 1:54um about the [ __ ] so
- 1:57first of all where do I get my news from
- 1:59it is called Forex Factory okay so I
- 2:02literally just go forexfactory.com and
- 2:05when you come on here
- 2:06initially it'll look like this
- 2:10let's put all these things on here
- 2:17it'll look like this and this is this is
- 2:20a lot to take in okay so the way that I
- 2:24like to do it is
- 2:26I know that these yellow folders these
- 2:28are just random stupid news events that
- 2:31happen day in and day out that don't
- 2:32really affect the marketing that's why
- 2:34they're yellow
- 2:35okay so I get rid of those I leave the
- 2:38gray folders because those announced
- 2:39like bank holidays and days where there
- 2:41aren't trading days so I get rid of the
- 2:43yellow folders and then I also get rid
- 2:46of all the currencies that I don't trade
- 2:48so do I trade AUD USD or any AUD pair no
- 2:51do I trade any Canadian dollar pair nope
- 2:55do I trade any
- 2:57um CHF pair no do I trade any uh Chinese
- 3:00yen pair no do I trade any European pair
- 3:05nope do I trade a GBP a Great British
- 3:08pound pair yes I do I trade GBP USD and
- 3:11GBP JPY cool do I trade a JPY pair yes I
- 3:16trade GBP JPY cool do I trade NCD no I
- 3:20do not do I trade a USD pair yes I trade
- 3:23GBP USD I trade gold and then I also
- 3:25trade the S P 500 your S P 500 news
- 3:28events will be covered by USD okay
- 3:31and then from there I hit apply filter
- 3:33and boom much prettier knocks it down to
- 3:37what we need to focus on okay as you can
- 3:40see it labels what currencies the news
- 3:42the news is for right in here
- 3:45okay so from there right we we filtered
- 3:49it down okay now let's talk about what
- 3:53news we should try and avoid most of the
- 3:56time if there is a red news folder no
- 3:59matter what I will always always always
- 4:02wait until the news comes out which you
- 4:06can see what time it comes out right
- 4:08here and the nice thing about this is it
- 4:11um
- 4:11it gets set up to like it automatically
- 4:14like connects to whatever time zone
- 4:16you're on so this it'll say it in your
- 4:18time zone
- 4:20um
- 4:21so today we had CPI as you can see red
- 4:23folder red folder red folder we also
- 4:26have two red folders on GBP
- 4:29um overall just a terrible probability
- 4:32day to trade right we have three red
- 4:34folders We Know That CPI news data
- 4:36causes havoc in the market right if we
- 4:39if we look we can see like even on GJ
- 4:44oops if we go into the lower time frames
- 4:47we can see how large these Wicks are
- 4:49like boom this is right when CPI came
- 4:52out massive Wick let's look at gold
- 4:58right this is during CPI massive Wick
- 5:01math like this is not price action that
- 5:04you are able to trade it is unprobable
- 5:06price action
- 5:08so why don't we why do we want to wait
- 5:11until afternoons on red folder days
- 5:14because news is going to drastically
- 5:16affect the market and
- 5:19the nice thing about this is let's say
- 5:22we only have one red folder and I'm okay
- 5:24with trading on red folder days
- 5:26it just depends on which ones okay so
- 5:29let's say we have a red folder day and
- 5:31we see the market and we wait for news
- 5:33to come out and news comes out
- 5:37we let price develop and news doesn't
- 5:39affect the market that much
- 5:41then I will be okay Trading right if you
- 5:45news
- 5:46doesn't affect the market for like after
- 5:49like 15 or 20 minutes after it comes out
- 5:52so at like 8 45 or like at 8 50
- 5:56if news didn't affect the market I would
- 5:59have been okay to trade but knowing CPI
- 6:02CPI always affects the market
- 6:04Okay so
- 6:06that's that's my my kind of overall rule
- 6:10with news red and orange folders
- 6:13always wait for news to come out
- 6:16let price develop
- 6:19see if it drastically affected the
- 6:20market you know with large Wicks large
- 6:23moves okay and if it does that don't
- 6:26trade
- 6:27okay do not trade and if it doesn't
- 6:30okay you can potentially look for a
- 6:33trade but still be playing on that
- 6:34defensive side still be playing with
- 6:36that patience in mind knowing that hey
- 6:39today it will probably be a lower
- 6:40probability day I should probably risk
- 6:43less I should probably reduce my risk I
- 6:45should probably be looking to not trade
- 6:47unless Market gives me a great
- 6:49opportunity
- 6:50and most the time it won't give you a
- 6:52great opportunity
- 6:53so de-risk yourself from the market when
- 6:55there's big news
- 6:57okay there's a couple news events that I
- 6:59always avoid you guys should write these
- 7:01down CPI PPI fomc
- 7:06and NFP
- 7:09those four CPI
- 7:11which happened today
- 7:14PPI which is happening tomorrow
- 7:16fomc which is also happening tomorrow
- 7:20and then NFP non-farm payroll anything
- 7:22that says non-farm non-farm employment
- 7:24non-farm payroll nope no go okay those
- 7:29four I will not I do not trade
- 7:31whatsoever
- 7:32okay so I won't be trading tomorrow
- 7:35the following day this day
- 7:39I don't want to trade
- 7:43I I probably won't trade on Thursday
- 7:46either because look we have one red
- 7:48folder two red folder three red folder
- 7:50four red folder orange folder another
- 7:54orange folder a [ __ ] red folder and
- 7:57then an orange folder okay and and all
- 7:59of these are for USD so if anything I'll
- 8:03probably only be looking at like GJ
- 8:06on Thursday
- 8:09right because all of these are USC Pairs
- 8:12and all the other all the trade all the
- 8:13pairs that I trade are USC besides JPY
- 8:19okay and again I'll look at the market
- 8:22after 8 30 right and see how price
- 8:25develops after all this news comes out
- 8:27and I'll make a decision right because
- 8:29this isn't CPI this isn't PPI this is an
- 8:31fomc and this isn't non-farm payroll
- 8:33however
- 8:36this is a lot of red folders so low
- 8:38probability d-risk see what happens in
- 8:41the market if it makes a big move we're
- 8:43done
- 8:44okay on Friday this is a perfect example
- 8:47of when I would trade and how I would
- 8:49trade news we have news that comes out
- 8:5230 minutes into Market open Market opens
- 8:54at 9 30 for me boom news comes out at
- 8:5710. what am I going to do I'm going to
- 8:59sit on my hands [ __ ] tuck that [ __ ]
- 9:02under my ass and I will not trade until
- 9:0710 a.m hits
- 9:09and I'm and I still won't trade until
- 9:12like 10 30 hits because we need price to
- 9:14develop and we need to see what happens
- 9:16with consumer sentiment and even then
- 9:19even then
- 9:22will I be you know actively trying to
- 9:25make a lot of money no I definitely
- 9:27won't why because this entire week is
- 9:30flooded with news this entire week has
- 9:33so much news
- 9:36okay so it's best to sit on your hands
- 9:38don't trade in unprobable conditions be
- 9:41patient
- 9:43remember this is what we talked about be
- 9:45patient look for a reason not to trade
- 9:48not a reason to trade okay and it will
- 9:52benefit you
- 9:53all right so now we know what news what
- 9:56news events to avoid and now we know
- 9:58that we should wait if we do want want
- 10:01to trade news or if we're looking to
- 10:04potentially take a trade and we know
- 10:05that there is news that day and it isn't
- 10:07one of those four events we wait for
- 10:10news to come out we wait to see the data
- 10:12and we'll talk about how to read the
- 10:14news data right now
- 10:17um and then we wait for like you know 15
- 10:1920 30 minutes okay let price develop
- 10:23and then we can look to take a trade
- 10:25cool cool
- 10:27now let's talk about how to read news
- 10:29data
- 10:31so Forex factory makes this [ __ ] super
- 10:34easy so the nice thing about this we see
- 10:37CPI month-to-month CPI year to year core
- 10:39CPI month to month okay as you can see
- 10:42right here we have the forecast which is
- 10:44what people in the news is predicting
- 10:47right like CNN Fox News whatever this is
- 10:49what Forex Factory is predicting the
- 10:52news will be right this is what everyone
- 10:54is predicting
- 10:55right and these numbers are the actual
- 10:58news data that ends up coming out
- 11:01okay so when we see these numbers and
- 11:04they're different than the forecast and
- 11:05they're different than what people are
- 11:06expecting we can open up this little
- 11:09folder you just click the little folder
- 11:10and it brings you a bunch of data okay
- 11:13we can see where it's coming from Bureau
- 11:15of Labor Statistics no one gives a [ __ ]
- 11:16okay measures measures what is this
- 11:20talking about change in the in the price
- 11:21of goods and services purchased by
- 11:24people so when you go to the grocery
- 11:25store what do you buy right this is
- 11:27pretty much what it's measuring
- 11:29okay
- 11:30this is the only thing that I care about
- 11:32the usual effect right because this will
- 11:35tell you
- 11:37the news bias and that doesn't mean that
- 11:39should be your buys for the day that's
- 11:41just telling you what the news came out
- 11:43as
- 11:44so what was the forecast 0.2 and also
- 11:48before the news comes out this actual
- 11:50spot is blank okay this is because news
- 11:52already came out right if we go and look
- 11:54at tomorrow
- 11:56right we see that as blank and if we
- 11:59click on this
- 12:00right we don't we don't know what the
- 12:02news data is yet
- 12:04okay but we have this one
- 12:07so we see what is the usual effect if
- 12:10the if
- 12:12the actual
- 12:14right it literally gives it to you if
- 12:16actual
- 12:17is greater
- 12:19is greater than
- 12:21the forecast
- 12:23then it is good for the currency
- 12:27hold on though
- 12:29okay
- 12:30this is where it gets tricky
- 12:32some of you guys might you know needs to
- 12:36take some time to understand this for me
- 12:38it makes complete sense but some of you
- 12:40guys might take some time
- 12:42good for the currency what does that
- 12:44mean does that mean good for the S P 500
- 12:46no no
- 12:53it does not mean good for the S P 500 is
- 12:55the S P 500 the U.S currency
- 12:59no
- 13:01the S P 500 is not the currency bruh
- 13:04what is the currency the dollar the dxy
- 13:09and what do we know about the dxy when
- 13:14the dxy goes up anything against the the
- 13:17dollar goes down so gold where's gu g u
- 13:24the s p
- 13:25will follow down so when it's good for
- 13:30the currency when when that means good
- 13:33for the dollar that means bad for SPX
- 13:37bad for gold bad for GU bad for EU bad
- 13:42for AUD USD bad for [ __ ] anything
- 13:46against you the US dollar
- 13:51good for the US dollar means bad for
- 13:54anything against it that even goes for
- 13:57crypto
- 13:58BTC slash USD anything XXX slash USD bad
- 14:07SPX
- 14:09bad
- 14:11good for the dollar bad for SPX
- 14:15hopefully that that gets it across
- 14:19okay so when we see this
- 14:22greater than forecast is good for
- 14:24currency it was less than forecasts okay
- 14:30all right
- 14:32it was less than less than forecasts
- 14:35okay we see the dxy rally bad for
- 14:38[ __ ]
- 14:39um we see the [ __ ] s p fall okay if
- 14:42we go on this same [ __ ] greater than
- 14:44forecasts good for currency
- 14:49okay
- 14:50cool okay and that doesn't mean that the
- 14:54chart is going to follow
- 14:57right because we can see we can see
- 14:59today
- 15:01right greater than forecast good for
- 15:03currency it was less in the forecast but
- 15:05what happened to dxy
- 15:07it's [ __ ] pumping right right here
- 15:12this candle is when the news came out
- 15:15this is all that news did right we say
- 15:17uh oh bad for bad for
- 15:21um sorry bad for the currency because
- 15:24the forecast because the forecast was
- 15:26actually less because sorry the actual
- 15:28was actually less than the forecast we
- 15:30dropped down but then what did dxy do
- 15:32rallies
- 15:34a rally that's why we can't necessarily
- 15:36trust news bias
- 15:39because price action is is superior
- 15:41that's why we have to wait for news to
- 15:43come out
- 15:44okay right we see that it was less than
- 15:46forecasts
- 15:48right so that means it would be bad for
- 15:50the currency we see dxy right when news
- 15:52comes out with this candle it dumps
- 15:54right bad for currency boom false what
- 15:57happened to the S P 500 [ __ ] rallied
- 15:59right where where did it come out with
- 16:01news right here look boom rallies high
- 16:05high high
- 16:06okay but that doesn't necessarily
- 16:09show you guys where Market wants to go
- 16:11for the day
- 16:13right where did Mark where did market
- 16:15end up going dollar ended up rallying
- 16:18the dollar ended up eating up this news
- 16:19drop
- 16:21so that's why we need to wait for news
- 16:24okay
- 16:26so good for currency bad for the S P 500
- 16:30okay same thing
- 16:34with these GBP stuff okay however we
- 16:37need to understand right understand your
- 16:39currency pairs if it is xXx slash USD
- 16:45right and we have something that is good
- 16:47for the US dollar whatever that pair is
- 16:50it will go down because it's against the
- 16:53US dollar right so if it's the Great
- 16:55British pound against the US dollar and
- 16:57the US dollar benefits
- 17:00then what does that mean that means the
- 17:02pound against the dollar will fall
- 17:04because the US dollar is going to be
- 17:06stronger than the pound
- 17:09can you get like are we comprehending
- 17:12are we good with that
- 17:14write that down rewind that watch it
- 17:18again because like sometimes
- 17:21I don't know what it is about reading
- 17:23news but some people like I try and
- 17:25explain this as simple as possible but
- 17:26some people still don't understand it
- 17:28okay so that's against the US dollar now
- 17:31hold on this is where
- 17:34you might start bugging out really focus
- 17:36okay
- 17:38what about
- 17:41GBP slash XXX right when there's news
- 17:47for Great British pound right look at
- 17:49how these pairs are set up right if we
- 17:51drag this over
- 17:53what does this say GBP JPY that means
- 17:55right literally Great British pound
- 17:58against the Yen so for the news for
- 18:03Great British pound
- 18:04when we see okay less than forecasts is
- 18:09good for currency we had less than
- 18:11forecasts that means it's good for
- 18:13currency that means if it's good for the
- 18:16pound then anything pound against XXX
- 18:20will go up
- 18:25it's different than against the US
- 18:27dollar
- 18:29right so if we see if we have news for
- 18:31GBP
- 18:33right this one for example less than
- 18:36forecasts good for currency good for the
- 18:39Great British pound if it's the pound
- 18:41against the dollar in the pound
- 18:45gets good news good for that currency
- 18:48then that pair is going to go up
- 18:53right but if it's
- 18:56whatever currency against the US dollar
- 18:59right it depends on what side of the
- 19:02parentheses uh what side of the slash it
- 19:04is
- 19:05right
- 19:06pound against the dollar
- 19:09right
- 19:11versus
- 19:12right yeah like pound against the dollar
- 19:16versus like USD JPY
- 19:20okay would be different
- 19:22for this right because that's USD
- 19:25against the yen
- 19:27are we understanding that we have to
- 19:29understand what side of the slash we are
- 19:32on we have to we have to understand that
- 19:34These Guys these we are literally
- 19:35comparing two currencies it's a fraction
- 19:42so the pound is on top USD is on the
- 19:46bottom
- 19:47right so if we get good news for what's
- 19:50on top
- 19:52that means up up if we get bad news for
- 19:57[ __ ] that's on the bottom that means up
- 19:59up if we get good news for what's on the
- 20:02bottom that means down down if we get
- 20:03bad news for what's on top that means
- 20:05down down
- 20:10is that making sense
- 20:13ready we'll literally write this down
- 21:11does that make sense
- 21:13and then we'll do a contrasting one like
- 21:16USC JPY
- 21:53that makes sense
- 21:58okay
- 22:00so whatever is on top whatever's on top
- 22:03it's positive correlation whatever's on
- 22:05bottom it's just inversed okay so if
- 22:08it's good for currency on whatever is on
- 22:10the back end of the Slash
- 22:12it's inverse okay so if we get good for
- 22:14currency on the US dollar price is going
- 22:16to go down if we get bad for currency on
- 22:18the US dollar price is going to go up
- 22:20versus here on uh on if USC's on the on
- 22:24the other side if we get USC good for
- 22:26currency price is going to go up if we
- 22:28get USC battery Currency Price goes down
- 22:30screenshot this put this in your notes
- 22:32do whatever you have to do
- 22:35that's how we find our news bias is new
- 22:37is news bias and all be all no it just
- 22:40helps us understand [ __ ] news data
- 22:44okay
- 22:46cool we got it we locked in awesome
- 22:51that's how you read news
- 22:53and that's how you should trade news
- 22:55right wait for Newsday to come out if
- 22:59it's CPI PPI fomc or NFP just call it
- 23:02quits bro sleep in
- 23:05live to trade another day don't lose
- 23:07your money you're trading in
- 23:08unprobleable conditions odds are you're
- 23:10not profitable already so that means you
- 23:12have a below a 50 chance to win the
- 23:14trade in the first place because you're
- 23:16not profitable okay
- 23:18along with news coming out
- 23:20gives you a lower probability of winning
- 23:22because you don't know how to trade and
- 23:25you have an unprobable an unprobable of
- 23:28news event coming out into the market
- 23:32terrible decision to trade
- 23:35and you wonder why you guys lose money
- 23:37in these markets
- 23:39literally had this discussion with my
