Do you want to know why the market didn't react? Because there wasn't enough liquidity at the time.

Institutional traders are not reading conspiracy blogs or dramatic headlines. They see capital flows. I did the same.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to this: does that information help you make a better entry/exit decision? If not, discard it.
I asked myself the same question four years ago. After reading 300 macro reports, I understood that the only thing that counts is the bias they build.
Do you want advice? Ignore anything that is not in line with your temporality. You are technical, think in technical terms.
Slow news = context. Fast news = catalyst. Both matter, but for different purposes.
You're not the only one who's confused with that, but if you were a fund-trader, you'd see that "slow" news is the one that really moves your balance sheets.
I combine both: I look at the macro to decide the course and the technician to tune the entrance. It has worked for years.
There are traders who live from noise and others from the structure. I chose what you want to be.
Excellent thread. It makes you think about how much real value the news brings to the day of trading.
