I give you some props -- you got whipsawed a bit and reacted too much to the news earlier this week -- but you have your share of good calls.
So funny on forex factory it shows that now that the actual result is lower than the previous month as predicted by the consensus, they went and lowered the previous PCE as well retroactively. LOL https://www.forexfactory.com/calendar#closed So if the last month's figure was a bump up and the market panicked, it panicked for nothing. The games that the "Big Boys" play. LOL
I looked back at one of Soy's posts. He doesn't use Charts or F/A, he seems to just use Sentiment Analysis. Throw out all your Technical and Fundamental Analysis books I guess.
As long as he hedges and is able to use the hedge properly. There is nothing wrong with that. Even if you do all kinds of analysis, you could still be wrong. There are trading contests where they pit top investment managers against an animal for picking stocks. Every single year, guess who wins? Yes, you guessed it. The animal!! Every single year!!
