News-second risk
Scalping
Stand aside at the drop
Scheduled news (Fed, CPI, earnings) hits in milliseconds. Spreads explode, stops slip. Scalpers go flat BEFORE the clock hits zero and return when the dust settles.
Check yourself
At 1:59pm before a 2:00 Fed decision, a scalper is…
- Max size
- Flat, execution quality is about to vanish correct
- Doubling stops
In the news-second, there is no bid where you need one. No position = no problem.
