Trading news on a retail broker is a losing battle for you, the trader. The broker will always win as it is their field that you're playing on. If you want to trade news then use a broker that doesn't make their money through the spread, but charges a commission like brokers in other markets do.
Of course if you use an ECN broker you don't have guaranteed stops, and you have to deal with real market prices which can gap like crazy especially around news time.
No-one said trading was easy... (apart from those tv-infomercials, but you know what ... they're lying).
