Risk Management on Macroeconomic News Days

When reports like this come out, volatility can spike quickly. Disciplined traders:

1. Review the economic calendar in advance to identify high-impact events 2. Adjust position size before the event, reducing exposure if needed 3. Set stops and limits to avoid surprises 4. Stick to their risk plan without improvising in the moment

Tools like Guardian, Onyx's risk manager, include alerts before high-impact news so you're never caught off guard. The key is planning before the event happens, not reacting after.
