How do you keep up with the market news?

Which sites do you visit to follow market news? Which newsletters are you subscribed to? what are your sources of info?

there are so many sites/newsletters etc out there so it is very hard for me as a newby to focus on something and i just jump all around the web reading different news which takes a lot of time

 

98%+ of so-called market news is just bs, or non-sense noise Don't get misled by that stuff,

Kind of like walking the fine line of the righteous path. and having the ability and foresight to see ahead amidst the fog.

 

Not that I have some vast experience with other traders, but I do know and have traded with a fair amount of traders from all styles and all levels. I've never seen someone that can consistently trade off of news.

But let's say you can, even so there's not news everyday on every instrument and sometimes even "major news" doesn't move markets that much. So, very limited amount of trades. I guess CL may be one of the better ones, but even than fairly limiting.

Sure it can be used to get better entry or for good trade setup after/during the volatility. But if I am expecting a certain direction based on other factors, I rarely see the news change that macro out look, its normally just the action sped up faster or may extend slightly more than normal temporarily in one direction or other.

 

I follow Bloomberg on FB, also they have a really good ipad app.

 

Bullish View: Seeking Alpha
Bearish View: ZeroHedge

 

Alerts with keywords.

 

Specialization.

Blooomberg website or App for general news.

Economic data releases - Bloomberg or DailyFx.

Agree, most of it is irrelevant and a distraction for day traders but it can be an advantage to know when major releases are scheduled.

 

Not anymore due to the news algos, however all through the 2000's and until around 2013 we were absolutely crushing Bloomberg, Reuters, Dow Jones headlines.

 

It's hard to hear good market news with CNBC talking all the time.

 

I don't use news or much fundamentals cept maybe on position sizing of adding more.
But I do use these sites for reports.

I don't care what is on reports, but automation few seconds after putting in orders or it will liquidate trades that not profitable and re-enter if more favorable after.
