The Binary Options News Strategy
What is "High Impact" News?
Events like **NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls)**, **CPI (Consumer Price Index)**, and **Interest Rate Decisions** cause rapid price movements in the Forex market. In binary options, where your trade duration is often 1-5 minutes, these spikes can cause "last-second losses" even if your direction was correct.
The Danger Zone
Trading 15 minutes before or after a Red Folder event. Indicators like RSI or Bollinger Bands become unreliable due to extreme volume.
The Safe Zone
Trading during "Low Impact" sessions where price moves in predictable channels and responds perfectly to support and resistance levels.
