Forex News Trading: All You Need To Know To Make Money (#041)

All You Need To Know About Forex News Trading w/ Yohay Elam

If you have been trading Forex for a while, you probably noticed the, sometimes, big spikes in the price of certain currency pairs. As a matter of fact, news reports are released almost every single day and the market tends to react strongly to them. So what is Forex news trading all about?

A quick advice: if you aren't aware of this, you NEED to listen to this podcast episode!

In episode 41 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Yohay Elam, the founder of Forex Crunch and host of Market Movers.

Yohay is very knowledgeable when it comes to fundamental analysis and what affects the currency market. He shared in great details what Forex traders can expect from news releases and what they have to look for.

Yohay studied computer science but learned about the Forex market mostly by himself through books and other self-education resources. He then started exchanging his ideas and view of the market with other people, an activity that proved itself to be very useful.

Today, Yohay publishes his analyses on his website and hosts a podcast where he shares what took place in the financial market.
