Notes for EA trading

Central bank communications can coincide with shifts in market sentiment, and liquidity may thin around major events. Spreads can widen during volatile hours, so it helps to check the economic calendar in advance. If your strategy is sensitive to slippage, consider pausing EAs around high-impact releases and speeches.
