How to Trade Economic Events

01

Identify High-Impact Events

Focus on red-impact events like NFP, CPI, and central bank decisions — these cause the most significant market moves.

02

Analyse the Forecast

Compare the forecast to the previous reading. A significant deviation from expectations typically drives the largest price moves.

03

Manage Your Risk

Widen stop-losses before major releases to account for increased volatility. Consider reducing position sizes during high-impact events.
