Beginner Explanation
High-impact economic events can move markets 100+ pips in seconds. The News Risk Engine reads the economic calendar and blocks or warns on affected instruments.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
- Open the News Risk page to see the live calendar.
- Note the risk tier for the next event on your instruments.
- See how the engine automatically pauses AutoTrader for Tier-1 events.
- Read the impact window (minutes before/after).
- Learn where to override manually if you accept the risk.
Helpful Tips
- Green does not mean 'no news' — it means 'no high-impact news within the window'.
- The risk window is instrument-specific.
- Tier-1 events (NFP, CPI, FOMC) deserve extra caution.
Common Mistakes
- Trading through NFP with tight ATR stops.
- Assuming crypto is immune to macro news.
- Overriding News Risk without a plan for slippage.
Best Practices
- Trust the automatic pause on Tier-1 events.
- Widen ATR stops or skip the day around major releases.
- Journal every news-related trade separately.
