Tips for Trading During High-Impact News Weeks

Even with filters, high-impact news weeks (e.g., FOMC meetings, NFP reports) can affect market conditions.

Best practices:

• Reduce your position size during news-heavy weeks.
• Avoid trading entirely on major announcement days.
• Use the All regions filter to completely disable trading around global news events.

Example:

• During an FOMC week, avoid trading on Wednesday (announcement day) and focus on other days with less volatility.

Tips:

• Monitor an economic calendar alongside TradeShields for full awareness.
• Use this time to analyze strategy performance and refine settings.
