Building Rules Around Trading Sessions And Volatility
A 1-minute lesson from the MarketPro academy, one of 14 in building a trading plan.

Some sessions or hours tend to have thinner liquidity, which can widen spreads and increase slippage, while scheduled news releases can cause sudden, hard-to-predict volatility spikes. Defining rules around these conditions in advance removes the need to make judgment calls under pressure in the moment.
