Been trading for about two years now and mostly stick to technical analysis. Charts, patterns, support and resistance levels.
Starting to wonder if I’m missing out by not diving deeper into fundamentals. Economic reports, interest rates, all that macro stuff.
How much weight do you actually give to fundamental analysis in your trades?
Charts are great for timing but fundamentals help you understand why price moves the way it does.
I usually check the economic calendar before major releases like NFP or central bank meetings because those can invalidate your technical setups real quick.
You don’t need to become a macro expert but knowing what’s driving the bigger picture definitely helps with trade direction.
News moves markets but charts show you when.
