📰 News Trading: How Not to Ruin Your Account
👣 Simple Steps to Secure Your Account During News Trading.
Events that move the market, such as the NFP (Non-Farm Payroll), the CPI (Consumer Price Index), or central bank meetings, often create high volatility. These moments can bring both enormous opportunities and serious risks, especially for beginners.
💚 Advantages of News Trading:
✅ High volatility means greater profit potential.
✅ A clear market direction if the data surprises expectations.
✅ Increased liquidity for quick execution.
💔 Disadvantages of News Trading:
🔴 Slippage and widened spreads can hurt the accuracy of stop-losses.
🔴 Emotions can trigger impulsive trades.
🔴 Market reactions can be unpredictable.
🧭 How to Trade News Safely:
📆 Check the economic calendar and market forecasts in advance.
❌ Use wider stop-losses (1.5–2× ATR or beyond support/resistance).
🤏 Keep position size and leverage small.
⏳ Wait for confirmation before entering a position.
🔍 Use pending orders only if you understand the risks associated with slippage.
🧠 Trading Psychology:
When news breaks, emotions take over: fear, excitement, or a sense of urgency. Stay calm:
✔️ Prepare before the release.
✔️ Set risk and stops — and don't move them during the trade.
✔️ Only trade when the signal is clear.
Successful traders do not chase the market; they observe, plan, and act.
🟩 Warning:
News trading entails high risk
