Big news. Smaller risk.
Protect your capital before chasing a fast move.
Execution can change
News volatility can widen spreads, cause slippage and delay execution. A smooth chart does not guarantee your requested fill price.
No broker is 100% guaranteed
Some brokers may perform better in particular conditions. No broker, account or internet connection is guaranteed to stay free of delays.
- Check the calendar: watch for inflation, employment and central-bank announcements.
- Wait for stable conditions: avoid rushing into the first price spike; check spreads and execution before entering.
- Keep exposure controlled: set a risk limit, use a stop loss and avoid increasing lots to recover a loss.
- Understand stop-loss limits: a standard stop loss can fill beyond its level during a gap or fast move.
- Compare the actual account: read execution terms for your broker entity, instrument and account type.
- Keep your freedom: choosing a broker or following a setup is your decision. Profit is never assured.
Execution risks explained by Exness: how slippage happens. Broker performance varies; we do not publish an unverified percentage of brokers affected.
