How to trade a news-driven move
A stock in the news needs volume confirmation: a gap without above-average volume tends to fill within the session, while a gap with heavy volume that holds its opening range usually continues. Before acting, check whether the trigger changes earnings power — an order win, a margin guidance change or a results beat — or whether it is a one-off event already in the price. Position size around the day's range, not around the headline.
