I am in San Antonio and I do (much to my dismay) have a full-time job haha.
Yep I’ve read some traders suggest avoiding open positions during major news releases like the NFP unless you’re a seasoned news trader specifically aiming to capitalize on the event. My understanding is volatility can spike unpredictably, and even solid trade setups can get stopped out by sharp whipsaws before the market ultimately moves in your favor.
In many cases, is it just safer to close your position beforehand and re-enter once the dust settles and the initial reaction has played out?
