# Manual News Time 1 & 2

* **0 (Disabled):** EA can trade all day
* **Time (e.g.,** 13:30**):** The EA disables new trade entries for a set number of **minutes before and after** the defined time

{% hint style="info" %}
Use this to block daily volatility spikes you know about.

This option relies on [Buffer minutes before/after news](/smartchoise-manual/options/news-filters-forexfactory/minutes-before-after-news-to-pause-trading-before-after-news.md) to disable new trades.

Example:\
If NewsTime1 = "07:00" and Buffer is set to 30, then no new trades will be opened between **06:30 and 07:30**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}

#### **Why Use This?**

* Avoids entries around **known daily events** that often cause short-term volatility.
* Helps manage risk in **predictable market conditions**, such as:
  * Opening of the London or New York session
  * Central bank speaker appearances
  * Minor scheduled reports that occur at fixed times
    {% endhint %}

🧠 *Think of this as setting your EA's “quiet hours” — it won’t enter trades when the market is noisy for known daily reasons.*
