Protecting capital during high-impact news is more important than chasing unpredictable market moves.
I prefer reducing exposure or staying out of the market when spreads become unusually wide.
A good risk management plan should account for slippage, spread widening, and sudden volatility.
Patience around major economic releases can save traders from unnecessary losses.
The goal is not to trade every news event, but to protect the account and wait for clearer market conditions.
