Hi, that is a good suggestion. News can unfortunately affect things and we just avoid opening new trades around the news. The problem with what you have suggested is that it would make accurate backtesting a problem. Also as currently the backtest will capture this behaviour accurately, with a good backtest it will show that over the long term the news spikes are not causiing a problem even if on occasion they can cause a loss.
