With how fast markets move today, I’m starting to question whether news trading still makes sense for most traders.
By the time a headline hits, algorithms have already reacted. What follows is often sharp volatility, slippage, and reversals even when the news seems clear. I’ve seen prices move *before* the release, and the first reaction isn’t always the real move.
News clearly matters for long-term trends, but trading the immediate reaction feels more like managing execution risk than making informed decisions.
Do you trade news actively, avoid it, or wait for the market to settle before acting? Curious to hear what’s worked for others.
