How Do You Use Forex News in Your Trading Strategy?

[Mdraghib]

Hey traders,
Lately, I’ve been paying more attention to forex news and how it impacts market movements. Major events like interest rate decisions, NFP reports, or inflation data can cause huge volatility within minutes.

Some traders prefer to avoid trading during big news releases because of slippage and spreads widening, while others see it as the best time to capture quick profits. Personally, I think news trading can be powerful if you have a plan — but risky if you’re unprepared.

Do you actively trade around forex news, or do you stay out until things calm down?
What’s your strategy for managing risk during high-impact events?
