Economic news releases and geopolitical events often create significant volatility in the financial markets. While TX3 Markets allows clients to trade during these periods, it is important to understand how conditions change and how to protect yourself.

Why News Events Impact Trading

• Increased Volatility: Prices may move sharply within seconds of the announcement.

• Wider Spreads: Liquidity providers may widen spreads to account for uncertainty.

• Slippage: Orders may be filled at a different price than requested due to rapid movement.

• Execution Delays: High order volume may slow execution speed.

Common high-impact events include:

• Central bank interest rate decisions (e.g., Federal Reserve, ECB, Bank of England).

• Employment reports (e.g., U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls).

• Inflation data (CPI, PPI).

• GDP growth announcements.

• Geopolitical developments or unexpected global events.

How TX3 Markets Handles Trading During News

• Trading remains fully available during economic announcements.

• Spreads may temporarily widen across affected instruments.

• Execution is subject to market conditions, which may result in slippage.

• Stop-loss and take-profit orders remain active, but fills may occur at the next available market price.
