Notes for EA trading

Central bank press conferences and policy statements are often associated with sharp, short-lived price swings and wider spreads. If you run automated trading systems on euro pairs, it may be worth checking how your EA behaves around such events. Some traders choose to pause their EAs or reduce activity around major releases, and to review their broker's execution conditions beforehand.
