If someone wanted to avoid trading during the "major" news events that can "significantly" move the British Pound and the Yen what would they be for each of these two currencies. Thanx

If you look on the Forex Factory homepage you'll see a news calendar at the top of the page. It names the news event, shows the currency it will likely affect, and shows the anticipated degree of impact on that currency.

Remember to consider both the base and counter currency you're trading.

The majority of the names are similar. Look out for Meeting Minutes from BOE.
