The false ruptures are common after important news.One way to avoid them is to operate in longer time frames and seek confirmations at key levels.Remember, you don't have to enter each movement.Sometimes, it is better to let an opportunity to risk being trapped in a market trap.
Some mentioned fast starting strategies on Fridays.How important is establishing a TP (Take Profit
