⚠️ Expect slippage: a 10-pip stop can fill 20+ pips away.
What it is
Trading the volatility around scheduled releases such as US jobs (NFP), CPI or central-bank decisions.
The rules
SetupKnow the release time, the forecast and the previous figure.EntryUsually after the first spike settles, in the direction of the follow-through, not at the second of release.StopBeyond the spike; account for wider spreads.TargetDefined in advance; volatility fades quickly.
When it fails
Spreads widen sharply, stops slip, and the first move often reverses.
Risk profile
The highest execution risk of any strategy here. Many prop firms ban it.
Who it suits
Experienced traders only, with small size.
Education, not advice. Goldman Academy teaches how markets and tools work. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell, and no lesson promises profits. Trading leveraged products carries a high risk of losing money; only trade money you can afford to lose.
