TradeCopier's built-in News Filter automatically pauses trade copying before scheduled high-impact economic events - including NFP, FOMC, CPI, ECB, and BOE announcements - then resumes copying once volatility subsides. No manual intervention required.
Expected: Chaos. Actual: Pain.
A Forex News Filter is an automated tool that detects upcoming high-impact economic calendar events and temporarily suspends trade copying activity during the defined pre- and post-event window. This prevents new positions from being opened or copied during periods of extreme market volatility, protecting your account from unpredictable price spikes.
TradeCopier integrates directly with global economic calendars including Forex Factory and Investing.com data feeds to detect events rated as High-Impact automatically - no manual calendar monitoring needed.
The News Filter automatically detects and applies protection windows around all major scheduled economic events, including:
Central bank speeches from officials such as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, ECB President Christine Lagarde, and Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey regularly trigger sharp, sudden movements across forex pairs, indices, and commodities.
TradeCopier's News Filter integrates with global economic calendars to automatically identify High-Impact central bank speeches before they occur. Copying is paused ahead of the scheduled speech start time and automatically resumes after the event window closes - keeping your slave accounts safe without any manual action required.
Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) is released on the first Friday of every month at 8:30 AM EST and consistently produces some of the largest single-candle moves in the forex market - often 50-150+ pips within seconds of the release.
TradeCopier visualizes the "Kill Zone" - the high-risk window immediately surrounding an NFP or similar event - and ensures no new copy trades are opened during this period. Existing positions can either be held or optionally closed before the event window, depending on your configuration.
This is not a manual process. The system handles it automatically, every month, for every account connected to your master.
Understanding exactly how the News Filter operates helps you configure it with confidence. Here is the complete automated workflow:
TradeCopier connects to a live global economic calendar and continuously monitors for upcoming High-Impact events across all major currency pairs.
When a qualifying event (NFP, FOMC, CPI, etc.) is detected within your configured lead time window, the system flags it automatically.
Copying is paused a configurable number of minutes before the event, such as 15 minutes before. No new trades will be opened on slave accounts during this window.
During the active event window, all copy activity remains suspended regardless of signals sent from the master account.
After the event and the post-event buffer period expires, copying resumes automatically. No manual re-enabling required.
You receive an alert via email or dashboard notification confirming the filter activation and deactivation for full transparency.
Enable the News Filter today and ensure your accounts are automatically protected before every NFP, FOMC, CPI, and central bank event - without lifting a finger.
