Every trader knows that when big news hits — Fed decisions, job reports, or inflation data — the market can explode in seconds. Prices swing wildly, volatility spikes, and emotions take over.
But smart traders don’t panic. They prepare.
At DayTradeToWin, we show traders how to use news events to their advantage — not by guessing what the market might do, but by reading what it’s actually doing in real time.
Step 1: Always Know When News Is Coming
Before you trade, check your calendar. Most major market-moving reports are scheduled ahead of time — and knowing the exact timing gives you an edge.
Use our built-in News Indicator or the DayTradeToWin Economic Calendar to track events like FOMC meetings, Fed speeches, and employment data. These tools highlight high-impact (red) events that can move the market fast.
Pro tip: Watch the clock — key reports often drop at 8:30 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 2:00 p.m. ET. Either step aside during these times or prepare to trade only after the initial reaction.
Step 2: Don’t Chase the First Move
When news breaks, most traders rush in. They see a spike and immediately buy or sell, assuming the move will continue.
That’s a mistake.
Here’s what usually happens:
-
The market surges, triggers orders…
-
Then reverses sharply.
-
Traders get stopped out in seconds.
This is the trap that catches most beginners — reacting too fast instead of waiting for confirmation.
Step 3: Trade the Reaction, Not the Emotion
The key is patience. When the news drops, wait for the initial reaction — a big candle that shows traders jumping in on emotion.
Once that surge fades, watch closely. If the market can’t continue in that direction, that’s your clue.
When price breaks the low (after bullish news) or the high (after bearish news) of that reaction candle, it often signals a reversal — and that’s where your opportunity begins.
“Let the crowd overreact. Then trade the reversal once they’re trapped.”

This is how experienced traders profit while others panic.
Real Example: Turning Traps Into Wins
Imagine a strong bullish move right after an FOMC release. Traders jump in expecting follow-through — but instead, the market stalls and collapses.
Those early buyers are now trapped, forced to exit, and their exits fuel the next big move down.
That reversal is where patient traders strike.
