Major news events are always important like NFP, FOMC; whatever timeframe you are using, that doesn’t mean much!

I always keep stops set from when I first open the trade but otherwise find it is rare for a news announcement to make a huge impact on a currency pair which is counter to the trend. Even when the EUR/CHF crashed in Jan 2015, the trend was bearish for weeks before anyway.

Truly news trading is a tempting. Trading on news is particularly enchanting. If you don't have any proven news trading strategy, the best thing is not to trade on news. It can blow your record in barely a minute. I by and large endeavor to keep away from news trading. I don't trade during news time.
