Understanding Impact Levels
High Impact
Events like NFP, FOMC rate decisions, and CPI releases. These can cause major market moves of 50-200+ pips. Most prop firms recommend not trading during these events or reducing position size.
Medium Impact
Events like retail sales, PMI data, and housing reports. These can move markets 20-50 pips. Be aware of these when holding positions.
Low Impact
Events like minor economic reports and speeches. Usually cause less than 20 pips movement. Generally safe to trade through.
Prop Firm Tip: Many prop firms have rules about trading during high-impact news. Check your firm's rules before trading around red events. Some firms prohibit trading 2 minutes before and after high-impact releases.
