Just a reminder to those that follow news events. Potential impacting news tomorrow.
Protect your capital!
Knowing that there will probably be some up and down action or perhaps a sustained move up or down. Each trader should have their own plan and avoid some of these scenarios/options.
What are your typical plans around major news events? Feel free to reply with something that is not mentioned below.
Your in a positive trade but close to market price with some major news coming:
Bring stop to break even/take profit and let the market do what its going to do?
Go ahead and close with some small profit then sit back and relax and let the news settle in?
Remove/Adjust Stop or you didn't have a stop to begin with and watch price knowing your may be on the wrong side of the action?
Your in a positive trade and well into a trend with major news coming:
Adjust stop/take profit if you are using one?
Close trade and take your profit, not wanting to give back anything around the news events?
Your in a negative trade with major news coming:
You have your plan in place, you have a stop in place (order or mental) and you are going to let the market do its work?
Close trade and take your loss?
Your "Open" or "Active" trade book is clear with major news coming:
You dont give a shit about news and continue to trade normally and get into a position regardless of news events?
Plan your trade and trade your plan based on actual results of the news events?
