Should I trade during news events?

Do not trade during the event itself. Wait 15 to 30 minutes for volatility to settle then identify the FVGs and order blocks created by the displacement. These post-news zones are among the most reliable in all of trading because they represent genuine institutional positioning.

Which news events create the best setups?

NFP, FOMC rate decisions, and CPI releases create the strongest displacement and most reliable post-news FVGs. ECB and BOE decisions are important for EUR and GBP. Always check the economic calendar before your trading session.
