Often many traders listen to what comes from one of the financial networks and they try and react after they hear a news report. Usually the news is already baked into the cake and the market is usually going to move contra to the news. Today the market had a negative Michigan sentiment report and many people became very bearish after the report. We instructed our traders to just pay attention to the U.S. Dollar as that is what the market is currently trading off of. Simply put the market is trading inversely to the dollar as it has been since march 2009. The lesson today is simply to forget the news and trade the chart. The rest will fall into place after that.
