Within the scenario there is a high impact news event on a day you are seeking a potential trade opportunity, only take entries following the release. When the market is waiting in anticipation for a high impact news event, price has the tendency to consolidate. The closer the time gets to the release of the high impact news event, the more unfavorable the price action becomes; filtering out the intraday sessions prior is enough to stay clear of that negative effect.

Once released into the market, high impact news events cause immediate fluctuations in volatility as the market is highly correlated to the outcome of the results. This is a brief time in the market where spreads widen and and price becomes highly manipulative; you lose complete control of risk management during these moments. No matter how confident you feel on the direction, the reward of being correct does not outweigh the unlimited potential loss of being incorrect.
