YOUR RESULT
Event-Driven Trader
What is an Event-Driven Trader?
Event-Driven Traders seek to capture intra-day volatility spikes triggered by major macroeconomic or geopolitical event risk. This includes high-impact economic statistics, monetary policy announcements, elections and speeches from influential officials. This strategy seeks to profit from the readjustment of market consensus in instances where baseline expectations were not met. That makes the approach inherently contrarian to some extent, meaning it can also be particularly risky.
Why did I get this result?
It’s clear that you are someone who always keeps up to date with world news and has an interest in how major events have wider impacts that perhaps some people fail to realise. You stay in the loop with current events at all times, be they global or local. Furthermore, you constantly analyse how these events might impact you and your life.
Your answers also suggest that you take time to research issues which might have a larger impact later on and are able to make informed decisions based on the news cycle and events happening around you.
Finally, you seem determined to check both your trades and the global news headlines regularly, ensuring you always stay informed around your potential forex trades. While your decisions based around events may incur significant risk, you seem confident in being able to work around it.

As you grow and learn within the world of forex trading, your style and approach to trading will develop as well. In a few years, you might have changed your trading style a little. Take this test again 12 months into your forex trading career and see if you have remained an Event-Driven Trader, or if you’ve become a Scalper, a Swing Trader, a Position Trader or an Algorithmic Trader.
