Since most financial news these days is bad, makes sense to short.
That makes sense. Although I still find it a bit YALE-ish
Thinking some more about that, I don´t think you "switched" BECAUSE of bad financial news. Since when do you care about news as you know that it´s all part of the matrix and doesn´t tell you anything. Instead what I think is that you SEE reality becoming worse (which might be confirmed by the news), which is being reflected on your charts which you LOOK at and thus you have adapted your trading accordingly.
That would be completely in line with the "Trade what you SEE" mindset
I think, TheRumpledOne meant more of a fundamental factors than just news print numbers. For eg, choosing to be a RED rat of EU during the last 3 weeks helped to get more cheese.
RATS have excellent memories. Once they learn/SEE a navigation route that is more rewarding, they won't forget it until reward is in shortage
