Jump into a trade the moment news drops?
"Stop Stop"News trading is a separate skill, not for everyone. Spreads widen, volatility spikes, slippage. If you don't have the experience, staying on the sidelines during news is the smart move.Remember - there's no rule saying you must always be in the market. Sitting out when there's no good setup is also a position.
Do you trade during news?
I normally avoid the first release spike. If testing a news setup, record spread one minute before, at release and one minute after, plus requested and actual fill price. I only consider an entry after spread returns near normal and a full candle closes. For an EA, block new entries around high-impact news but still allow emergency exits
