FOMC, NFP, CPI — these events can move NQ 100-200 points in seconds. No technical setup survives that kind of volatility. A perfect order block entry means nothing when the Fed chair says something unexpected and price teleports 150 points. Slippage during news can turn a 20-point stop into a 60-point loss. The best trade during high-impact news is NO trade. Learn which events to fear and when to be flat.
Know when to STAY OUT of the market. Most beginners get destroyed by news events because they don't know they're coming.
