The CPI and NFP news always create high volatility. Sometimes it is better to stay out and watch the market first. I usually wait for the first reaction, then decide if I should trade. This reduces the chance of big losses. Many brokers cannot handle the fast moves. HFM still gives me good fills but I always use small lots in news time.

The first minute after CPI/NFP usually has the widest spreads and patchy liquidity; waiting for the second leg often cuts slippage. What are your slippage stats on HFM around NFP when using stop vs. limit entries?
