Despite the risks related to news trading, it remains to be one of the popular and widely used trading methods.
However, one should not forget that the majority of individual investors don't have the real access to the Interbank prices, and therefore should not attempt news trading.
As soon as news hit the air, there is an immediate reaction among the largest speculators, who do shift the market. We can't compare the rates and spreads given to an individual investor to those who stand close to the top of the Interbank exchange.
There is also another factor, which is not widely discussed - the role of a broker in forming prices during/after news events. The truth is, many Forex brokers are able to use news announcements to their advantage. Knowing the the market will behave wildly during the news time, a broker can easily add to the price its own artificial spikes in order to take out the clusters of traders' stops. In the end, as traders suffer losses, they can't fully convict a broker in this, since we all know that news can dramatically increase volatility in the market during a short period.

Does anyone know of a broker that allows SPOT options trading? Here are the options/choices that should be allowed with Spot Options:

* Standard options.
* One-touch SPOT – You receive a payout if the price touches a certain level.
* No-touch SPOT – You receive a payout if the price doesn't touch a certain level.
* Digital SPOT – You receive a payout if the price is above or below a certain level.
* Double one-touch SPOT – You receive a payout if the price touches one of two set levels.
* Double no-touch SPOT – You receive a payout if the price doesn't touch any of the two set levels

FAQ: Can I Trade During Economic or Geo Political News releases?
GCMFX does allow trading during the news. However, we wish to warn clients of the dangers associated with such, namely: During major Geo Political News releases markets may become extremely volatile. Due to potential price gaps, GCMFX cannot guarantee fills during news releases. Orders may be filled at the next available price and will not always be filled at the requested price or stop. News releases may also cause wider spreads than are typically seen during normal trading hours. We advise traders to use discretion when trading during the news. Please be advised that due to the volatility of price fluctuations during the news, it is possible to see a delay in execution due to the additional verification necessary for each trade.
