Scheduled releases (rates, CPI, payrolls, inventories) are known volatility. Spreads widen, stops can fill worse than placed, and a correct direction can still lose.
From this week's Daily Market Brief: Fiduciary duty requires investment managers to allocate trades fairly and consistently across client accounts before outcomes are known — profiting from selective hindsight is a core regulatory red line.

Nice question to open with. One concept worth separating here: the risk of a release is not only that price moves, but that the fill you get can differ from the price you planned, because spreads widen and liquidity thins around the print. So "hold through it" and "stand aside" are really two different questions about execution and about how much you're willing to lose on a gap. Which part do you find harder to judge: the size of the expected move, or how your broker's fills behave in those minutes?
