Post Bombarded with information?

Hello Traders,

Hope your trading is cool!
As a beginner in this fascinating world of trading i have had a difficult time filtering or interpreting fundamental combined with technical analysis in order to buy/sell and for a valid period of time.
Thanks to Daves videos and your sharings, ive learnt that its important to be an independant and informed trader. But as we all know, we are all bombard with metric tons of information from all types of media in order for us to make a decision as traders/investors. A whole universe of options, opinions, indicators, reports, figures, signals, even weird stuff and all this to confuse a simple two way decision> to buy or sell.
overloaded!
so my question is>

What could be some steps/strategies to filter fundamental feedback with technical information and apply it under the conditions of the moment? What is the mind game?

I would like to invite you to contribute any ideas, even beginners as myself, to brainstorm about this, and use these findings for this community. I know we all can master this with time and by creating more ideas.

Greetings,
Dimitri

Hello Keyword....welcome back...
You didnt specify what you are trading...but granted...there is a lot of information out there... On the front page of the informedtrades site...Dave has done a good job of filtering all the info...and puts the important info...in the section that says..."All the info that matters"...... it is a good way to skip over all the hype...and just concetrate on what you are trading...Jerry (miami)

Heyya Dimitri,

This is a very, very real issue that a lot of traders have to face.

You know what I've found helps? Having a long-term investing account. Not a trading account. But an account based on buying blue-chip Stocks that pay dividends and have DRIP programs. I have DRIP stocks that I've had for years.

Why?

Because you see how very little news items affect things in the long run. You learn how to filter what will affect price, and what will not. You keep seeing news item after news item. You see how little the market really pays attention to many, many negative news bits, and how it does react to others. And this, in turn, helps your trading.
