>>938437As a general advice, you shouldn't trade the news unless you have a very good ECN broker and an algo who does it. For us retails, the only way to survive and make money is by swing trading.
I personally don't trade the news, but i use an adverse reaction to them as an entry point in the direction of the major trend. Big gains, low risk. My hit rate is low, but i don't care.
One last advice, develop a trading system, see how it behaves, record your hit rate, RR, drawdown and so on. Once you are sure it works, demo trade for some months. Once you know you are profitable, go for it with a small, real account. That's how you make money. And no more than 1% risk per trade. Try to follow the trend as much as you can. No day trading bullshit, if you wanna make money, your holding time must be reasonably long
