Points to Note When Running EAs

On days with economic indicators or finance-related releases, price movements may become volatile and spreads may widen before and after the release. Depending on the trading hours and currency pairs, it may be worth considering stopping the EA only around the indicator, or reducing trading volume. It is advisable to check the release time and the market reaction in advance against your own operating rules.
