Don't get caught in the spikes. Calculate the potential pip movement of upcoming economic events and ensure your account can withstand the surge.

Our analyzer uses historical volatility data to predict how much "heat" your position will take if you hold during the release.
During news, liquidity disappears and spreads widen. Your stop loss may not trigger at the exact price you set.
Consider reducing your position size by 50-70% before major releases to manage the expanded risk profile.
