News announcements you can't ignore

When trading the daily, 240 and maybe even the hourly charts the news is irrelevant when looking at the grand scheme of things ie. if you forget the news even exists you will still profit just the same from a proven technical method over the entire year, month and maybe week.

However, there are a small number of news announcements per month that are still best avoided, what would you place in this list?

Hi Richard,

I constantly have open this economic news widget http://next.newsimpact.com/lp/real-time-news​

This widget displays all the upcoming economic news, whatever has 2 and 3 stars suppose to be market moving especially when the surprise factor (deviation) is big. So, I am getting prepared accordingly. Most of the times I try to ride the spike
