Hi Eliza simple I don't trade when there's high impact news to be released. For me in very early trading days I found when news was released you had to be very careful because it would go all over the place. At some points I found I would just jump in. Very different from the present. So I kept learning and building my knowledge built a strategy and trading plan which I stick to no matter what. I'm glad to say it works very well.

For my experience, I think this has been proved absolutely right
I think we should use both The this is that (IMHO) each type of the info reflects just one side of the reality so we need to be able to look at this market reality at different angles. But of course we should be able to filter - what to pay atention to and want not.

I agree though - Forex is a job, a craft if you will, and it requires effort like any other job out there.
I'm not sure there will be any kind of "official" statistics. It's only brokers who can provide it I believe, but I think they cannot or wouldn't do it - first of all because I presume they are not allowed to share such kind on info, and second probably because in this case there will be much less people willing to use their services

Brokers are generally allowed to share information how many of their clients were profitable and how many weren't, that alone isn't an issue. The issue is whether they want to make that public, and more important, whether they would be willing to allow an independent third party (in this case an agency studying statistics) to examine this data. That said, I agree with you.
