Trade News in Forex & Understand Volatility Have you ever tried to trade news? Personally I have. This goes back to 2015... "Why?", you may ask. Because that myth is HUGE out there.   News releases happen fast and seeing profits quickly satisfies our brains.

And recently, I sat down with Chris Weston, Investment Manager at Pepperstone. I wanted him to tell me and share with you how he's personally using news. We obviously go over how to trade news and the kind of stuff you can expect from any news release. You'll also get to learn about volatility... ...and what to do when it's generally high in the Forex market. I cannot stress enoug
