# News trading

Use the news trading workflow when a headline, social post, listing, exploit, macro event, or official announcement may move a market quickly.

Proliquid connects the [News](/features/crypto-news-feed-for-trading.md) feed with matched markets, quick LONG / SHORT actions, and the [Terminal](/features/hyperliquid-trading-terminal.md), so you can move from information to execution without switching tools.

## When to use it

Use this workflow when:

* A news item is time-sensitive.
* The item has a clear matched market.
* The market is moving from the news timestamp.
* You need to decide between fast execution and more controlled execution.

Confirm liquidity, price reaction, and whether the news is already priced in.

## Tabs to open

<table><thead><tr><th width="159.97265625">Step</th><th width="239.3359375">Open this</th><th>Why</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Detect</td><td><a href="/pages/mKIkhw3Ie7fVfxzHM7NI">News</a></td><td>Read the item, source, matched markets, and timestamp.</td></tr><tr><td>Validate</td><td><a href="/pages/aCpQDtQTNobbITOVPy33">Terminal News</a> and <a href="/pages/bcW8Z4mXQj4yydSkbEAE">Chart</a></td><td>Confirm market reaction and chart context.</td></tr><tr><td>Execute</td><td><a href="/pages/E8J6dt3YcljcwvwnzeOE">Trade form</a></td><td>Use full controls when quick actions are not enough.</td></tr><tr><td>Monitor</td><td><a href="/pages/MxlMIhwWMHQHbgzr6JT5">Positions</a>, <a href="/pages/bpkCLCdRzrhMTd1y4Tep">Trade history</a>, <a href="/pages/geBcL4fSoVTMiINGnQXV">Order history</a></td><td>Confirm fills, exposure, fees, and follow-up actions.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## What to validate

Before trading from news, check:

* Source credibility and whether the item is original or reposted.
* Matched market and exchange source.
* Price change since Proliquid received the news.
* Current spread and visible orderbook depth.
* Whether related markets are also moving.
* Your account exposure, margin, and existing position on the market.

If the move is already extended, consider whether chasing with a market order still makes sense.

## Order types that fit

<table><thead><tr><th width="586.23828125">Situation</th><th>Order type</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>You need immediate exposure and accept taker execution</td><td><a href="/pages/100YsDmLe5v4No4GoZvf">Market</a></td></tr><tr><td>You want maker-only entry near the current bid or ask</td><td><a href="/pages/X32YWRKDBmU3hX3D50st">Limit ALO</a></td></tr><tr><td>You want maker-only behavior that follows the best bid or ask</td><td><a href="/pages/e9hDvlZICHY0Kk7QwI37">Chase</a></td></tr><tr><td>You want to enter over a few minutes after the first reaction</td><td><a href="/pages/dveBPKYlA9vMtZg1AFPv">TWAP</a></td></tr><tr><td>You want faster split execution with refill time between batches</td><td><a href="/pages/kTScbaJIICwu3vgn7Bu0">Burst</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

## What to monitor afterward

After submitting:

* Confirm fills in [Trade history](/terminal-sections/trade-history.md).
* Confirm submitted actions in [Order history](/terminal-sections/order-history.md).
* Watch [Positions](/terminal-sections/positions.md) for PNL, funding, TP / SL, and margin.
* Keep [News](/features/crypto-news-feed-for-trading.md) open for follow-up headlines or corrections.

## Common mistakes

* Trading a headline without checking whether the price already moved.
* Using Market on thin books without reviewing slippage.
* Forgetting to set reduce-only when reacting from an existing position.
* Ignoring follow-up news that changes the original thesis.
* Treating a matched market as certainty instead of a suggested connection.
