There's a common misconception about "Fundamental Analysis": People tend to think that the market should react in a certain way to news. Example: "Unemployment Rate goes down", which means that the economy is doing better, therefore companies should make more profits and stock prices will move up. Conclusion: If the unemployment report is positive, the market moves up.

How do you put the odds in your favor You have to develop a trading edge using technical analysis, fundamental analysis, market internals, etc.. You have to have a number of variables that must be present before you enter a trade and always use the same set of variables. Your edge is your strategy to enter and exit trades and should be well defined in your trading plan.

Oriental Trading Here's a perfect example: On Friday, April 7th 2006 the unemployment rate for March was published. The market expected an unemployment rate of 4.8%, and the numbers came in better than expected: Only 4.7% (for details see http://biz.yahoo.com/c/ec/200614.html). That's good news, isn't it?

Trading Well. here are some comments I got from a news-service:

Trading Financial System "Not surprisingly, Friday's equity trade was dictated by the March employment report. More specifically, it was the Treasury market's reaction to it that set the stage for stocks." ...
"A lack of negative surprise caused the stock market to breathe a sigh of relief."...
"The Treasury market had a very divergent reaction to the data, and it took the stock market down with it. For Treasury traders, the in-line data essentially provided no evidence that the Fed will be inclined to soon end its monetary tightening cycle."

Day Trading Oups. So the stock traders thought it's good news and the market was moving up, but the treasury trader in the other room thought it's bad data.

Forex Financial Trading The As I am writing these lines another news hits the ticker: Oil prices trading above $69 per barrel. But what does it mean? Should the stock market move up or down? Here's a discussion that I heard this morning: "As crude oil prices continue to plug higher the debate over what it all really means will begin again.

Will they cease increasing interest rates or even lower the rates again? This would provide a boost for the stock market. Or will traders fear that there's an economic slowdown which might result in lower company earnings? This would move the market down.

In my opinion there's no way, and I haven't seen any models (incl. artificial intelligence) that is coming somewhat close to this (sometimes really weird) human behavior.
