Avoiding News by Region

TradeShields lets you avoid trading during high-impact news events for specific regions:

  • USA
  • UK and Europe
  • Asia
  • Australia and New Zealand

How to configure:

  1. Navigate to Economic News Filters.
  2. Toggle the checkboxes for the regions you want to avoid.
  3. TradeShields will:
    • Disable trading 30 minutes before and 15 minutes after news events.
    • Automatically close open trades 30 minutes before news begins.

Example:

  • If you’re trading EUR/USD, select USA and UK and Europe to avoid news from both regions.
  • If you’re trading gold (XAU/USD), select USA to avoid U.S. economic data releases.

Tips:

  • Check an economic calendar regularly to stay aware of high-impact news.
  • Use region-specific filters to fine-tune your strategy for different instruments.
