Managing Open Positions Before Economic News Releases
If you have active trades during a high-impact news event, TradeShields will:
- Automatically close positions 30 minutes before the news.
- Pause trading during the event to prevent re-entry.
Steps:
- Enable the desired region(s) under Economic News Filters.
- TradeShields will monitor the news schedule and act accordingly.
Example:
- You have a trade open in EUR/USD. Thirty minutes before an ECB rate decision, TradeShields closes the trade to avoid potential market turbulence.
Tips:
- Consider slightly wider stop losses if news filters are disabled but news impact is anticipated.
