hhduy Posted September 25, 2025 Report Posted September 25, 2025 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.
binaryowner Posted October 3, 2025 Report Posted October 3, 2025 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?
bluemac Posted December 17, 2025 Report Posted December 17, 2025 I usually avoid trading during the said high impact news release and after the market volatility i try finding some setups or stay side ways.
binaryowner Posted yesterday at 01:24 PM Report Posted yesterday at 01:24 PM From execution logs I’ve analyzed across brokers, stop entries around CPI/NFP slip ~2–3x more than passive limits. I now either trade the second leg with limits or widen max slippage and colocate a VPS. What do your HFM stop-vs-limit stats look like?
