Notes for EA Operation

It is unclear whether this announcement alone will move the market significantly, but around important economic indicators and policy-related events, price movements tend to become rough and spreads tend to widen. If you operate an EA, it is advisable to consider in advance measures such as stopping operation only around scheduled events or reducing the lot size. To prepare for slippage in order execution and sudden fluctuations, it is desirable to practice margin management with room to spare at all times.
