Rules for volatile windows
- Know the schedule — calendar bookmarked (Module 8 lesson 1).
- Reduce or zero size unless you specialise in news (advanced).
- No market orders during spike — slippage risk (Module 2).
- Do not widen stops mid-trade to survive news — that breaks Module 4 maths.
- Journal the outcome — emotional reactions are common post-news.
Fundamentals explain why volatility appears; your technical plan (Modules 3–7) still defines entries when conditions normalise.
