Understanding Impact Levels
Events like NFP, FOMC, and GDP releases. Expect major volatility and potential price spikes of 50-200+ pips.
Trade balance, retail sales, PMI data. Moderate volatility expected, typically 20-50 pips movement.
Minor economic reports and speeches. Usually minimal market reaction, safe for trading.
News Trading Tips
Before High-Impact Events
Close or reduce positions 15-30 minutes before major news. Spreads widen significantly during releases. Consider turning off Expert Advisors.
Watch Actual vs Forecast
Markets move based on the difference between actual and forecast values. A "good" number that misses expectations can still cause selling.
Key Events to Track
NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls), FOMC Interest Rate Decisions, CPI/Inflation data, GDP releases, and Central Bank speeches are highest impact.
Time Your Entries
Wait 5-15 minutes after release for initial volatility to settle. The second wave often presents cleaner entry opportunities with defined risk.
