I personally keep trading all the time, even over the NFP. I tried pausing the EAs, but at the end of the day I did not figure out that it is better to use the EAs.
With some Hot News, you will see profits, with others there will be losses.
Anyway, it is a personal choice.
Give it a try, with two accounts, one where you stop the EAs, and the other one should trade constantly. It is a good practice, and see which one would work better.
