News Trading, in a nutshell, is basically taking advantage of market volatility in the event of a surprise. Almost all high impact news events have a Forecast, or Consensus Number, which is usually an average number derived from a survey of economists, usually done by news agencies such as Reuters or Bloomberg. This Forecast number, represents what the market as a whole is expecting the Actual release to be; therefore, in the event that the Actual Release turns out to be different than the Forecast, we have a surprise in the market... Since Forex trading is basically Futures Trading of currencies, market speculators will price in the surprise immediately in the direction of the surprise, and create an opportunity for traders to make some pips.
