Because of the speculative nature of the markets - markets move drastically to news and events.
So I strongly believe in mixing News events with Markets - speculation.
most news in the media is a paid or fabricated item, in the era of rich being richer and poor being poorer, insider trading, corrupt politicians having vested interests , money chasing human beings , false and fabricated balance sheets profits, losses .when the news is known to general public that piece is already old for atleast 3-4 months for the powerful and insiders
good luck believing in the news for your hard earned money .
it was said decades ago that in technical analysis news dont have any place , because markets are way ahead in trends by some 4-5 months ,inspite/instead of the news .
do you think the big volume traders who buy in advance do not have news ? and when they trade on news in advance(before retail) , retail should wait for news in media ? and not buy on charts ? which would obviously be in trend mode already .
taking two boats and stepping on both at the very same time is not possible i believe, since you cannot trust the news , because its fabricated , one must have alternative , and that alternative is technical analysis , and price action
