When trading Canadian
GDP m/m, I recommend that you open and close your trades within the first 45 minutes of the report, because after 45 minutes, there will be other non-related market forces that will be affecting the currency pair.
With this GDP report, if you can get in within the first 20 pips of
pre-release price, most likely you can get away with a 20 pips
stop/loss and a potential profit of 20-30 pips or more. If you cannot get in within the first 20 pips, I definitely wouldn't chase it. Wait for it to
retrace within the first 5 minutes, and if it doesn't, then skip the trade.
I recommend trading USD/CAD on this report.
Please look at this Canadian GDP m/m USD/CAD chart:

As you can see, total move was around 90 pips, and you would be able to get in within the first 20 pips if you wanted to.
