Yes we get pleasant or unpleasant surprises due to the news events.But if you follow the system long enough,then pleasant surprises outnumber the unpleasant ones and the trend asserts itself and you come out as a winner .
While on this subject I remember an interview from Market Wizards in which a Market Wizard trader is asked as to how much of his trading success is luck and how much is science. His reply was as under :
"I have a throughly backtested competent system which I trade and whether a trade I am doing at this moment is going to be a winner or a looser is a matter of TOTAL LUCK as I am going to have my share of loosers. But after taking all the trades on the system for reasonably long time I am going to make plenty of money is a TOTAL SCIENCE.
The reply has lot of wisdom and a mindset of a winning trader in it !!!
Just thought of sharing the same !!!
