The Forex News Trading Guide is an educational resource about trading economic news releases in the forex, gold and index markets, with a focus on execution speed, automation and risk control.
Who writes these guides
The guides are written and reviewed by the Westernpips Research Team, the developers of Westernpips Private 7, a multi-terminal for fast-feed and latency-sensitive trading. Because we build trading software, we say so openly: Westernpips Private 7 is the only software discussed on this site.

- Release times and market behavior are described in general terms; always confirm the current schedule in your economic calendar and your broker’s trading hours.
- Pages are reviewed and updated when market structure, release schedules or product features change. Last review: .
Risk statement
Leveraged trading carries a high level of risk. News trading in particular exposes you to slippage, spread widening, requotes and gaps. Some brokers and prop firms restrict trading around news or latency-sensitive strategies. Read your broker’s terms, start on a demo account, and never trade money you cannot afford to lose.
