Many people like to take a gamble before major events. Five minutes before the data is released, the market is as quiet as the sea before a storm, and they are itching with anticipation, fantasizing that they have seized a historic opportunity. What is the result?

—— It’s either an instant spike that hits the stop loss, or a straight line that gets swept and blows the position.
This is the most common paradox in trading: the more you feel "this wave is stable," the more the market wants to teach you a lesson.

Before the announcement of major events, those who truly understand trading only do three things: stay out of the market, watch the drama, and wait.
At this time, all technical indicators become ineffective, and the market enters a chaotic state of pure speculation and news price differences.
Liquidity plummets, the market makers control the board, fake orders are placed, depth is brushed through, losses are swept and then reversed... The ugliest tactics you can witness will emerge at this time.
Do you want to know the direction? Sorry, even the dealer doesn't know the direction.
Do you want to card expectations? Sorry, expectations are often already priced in.
Do you want to compete in reaction? Sorry, the reaction speed can't match that of programs and robots.

A truly mature trader will turn off their trading software before an event and even leave the computer. They know that a stable market is their battlefield.
Remember one thing: Major events are the best time for the market to harvest gamblers. It is not your chance to get rich; it is a trap designed by others.

Fewer impulsive actions, more principal.
Every old investor who survives and leaves the liquidation zone has gone through this.
