Sometimes, prices swing hundreds of pips, exciting traders to jump in immediately. However, this is actually the riskiest time to trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many traders lose money during these periods because they rush to open orders while the market is still unstable, often driven by FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). This leads to unplanned trades and losses caused by sharp price movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why News Matters in Forex Trading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Economic news is a primary driver of the market, as economic figures reflect the real condition of a country\u2019s economy. Reports like NFP, CPI, FOMC decisions, or interest rate changes directly impact currencies and gold prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When major news is released, the market typically moves in three phases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1\ufe0f\u20e3 Initial Spike \u2013 The immediate reaction after the news is out. If the numbers surprise the market, the price swings sharply within seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2\ufe0f\u20e3 Correction \u2013 A temporary pullback or consolidation after the initial spike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3\ufe0f\u20e3 Real Direction \u2013 The market\u2019s true direction emerges after the volatility settles, gradually moving according to the news impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2705 Understanding these phases helps you know \u201cwhen to wait\u201d and \u201cwhen to trade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparation Before News<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preparation is the most important step in news trading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd39 Check the Economic Calendar to see which major news is coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd39 Study the Forecast vs. Previous figures to anticipate the Actual results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd39 Choose currency pairs that are directly affected, e.g., USD news \u2192 trade EURUSD, GBPUSD, XAUUSD.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u26a0\ufe0f Set your time zone to GMT+7 (Bangkok). Incorrect timing can cause missed opportunities or entering trades at the wrong moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategies During News<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">News releases bring high volatility, so you need a strategy that fits your trading style:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1\ufe0f\u20e3 Trade Before the News: Some traders place pending orders (Buy Stop &amp; Sell Stop) with predefined TP\/SL. When the news comes out, the price moves one way or the other, allowing quick profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2705 Pros: If the price moves in one direction without retracing, you can earn significant profit quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u274c Cons: High volatility may trigger both orders and hit Stop Losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2\ufe0f\u20e3 Wait for the Market to Decide: For safer trading, wait 5\u201315 minutes after the news for the market to stabilize, then enter trades once a confirmation signal appears, like a Break &amp; Retest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2705 This method may yield smaller profits but significantly reduces risk, ideal for traders focusing on long-term survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risk Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heart of news trading is controlling risk:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd38 Risk no more than 1\u20132% of your portfolio per trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd38 Adjust lot size appropriately\u2014avoid greed for short-term gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><\/strong>\u26a0\ufe0f Do not set Stop Loss too tight, as prices can swing violently. Place SL according to the structure of a larger timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: How to Trade News Safely and Profitably<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf News trading offers opportunities for high returns in a short time, but it also carries the highest risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd11 The key is to have a clear trading plan: know where to take profit, where to accept risk, and be patient until the market shows its true direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u274c You don\u2019t need to trade every news release. Focus on high-impact events (3-star or red-box news). Remember: not trading is still trading, as it helps you avoid risks that could harm your portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>\ud83d\udccc&nbsp;<strong>Key lesson<\/strong>: Avoid greed and impatience. In news trading, discipline and patience often yield better results than rushing in without a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article by Coach Mark, RoboAcademy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disclaimer: Investing is risky.
