How TradeShields Disables Trading Around News Events

When enabled, TradeShields automatically adjusts trading activity around high-impact news events. Here's how it works:

  • Open trades: Closed 30 minutes before the news.
  • New trades: Blocked 30 minutes before and 15 minutes after the news.

How to configure:

  1. Enable filters for the regions you want to avoid (e.g., USA).
  2. TradeShields will handle the rest, pausing and resuming trading automatically.

Example:

  • For the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) release, TradeShields will stop trading at 8:00 AM ET and resume at 8:45 AM ET.

Tips:

  • Combine this setting with risk management tools to minimize exposure during news-driven volatility.
  • Use backtesting to understand how avoiding news impacts your strategy's performance.
