What if there was a way to make money quickly even if you had no idea whether the market would move up or down?

It’s possible as long as there is sufficient price volatility.

And when can you get this volatility? When news like economic data or central bank announcements is released!

The first thing to consider is which news reports to trade.

Earlier, we discussed the biggest moving news releases.

Ideally, you would want to only trade those reports because there is a high probability the market will make a big move after their release.

The next thing you should do is take a look at the range at least 20 minutes before the actual news release.

The high of that range will be your upper breakout point, and the low of that range will be your lower breakout point.

Note that the smaller the range is the more likely it is you will see a big move from the news report.

The breakout points will be your entry levels.

This is where you want to set your orders. Your stops should be placed approximately 20 pips below and above the breakout points, and your initial targets should be about the same as the range of the breakout levels.
