Never trade into NFP again.
One NFP spike can eat a week of gains — or a challenge. The news filter blocks your EA around high-impact releases (NFP, FOMC, CPI and other red-folder events) automatically, and while paused it can close opposite positions instead of opening new ones.
What it does while the room is loud
Two behaviours, both configurable from the dashboard:
Blocks new entries
While a high-impact window is active, incoming signals do not open trades. Your strategy’s logic stays yours; the filter just refuses to pull the trigger into the spike.
Closes opposite positions
With the default close-opposite behaviour, a signal that arrives during a blocked window closes the opposite exposure without opening anything new — taking you flat into the number instead of doubling down into it.
Works with the Shield
News pauses stack with the Prop Firm Shield: drawdown guardrails plus news windows together — the two ways automated challenges actually die.
