The EA should be attached to each currency chart. In the Symbol News field, set the currency symbol for searching news in the calendar. Example: if the EA is attached to the AUDUSD chart, set Symbol News to AUD; if USDCAD, Symbol News - CAD, XAUUSD Symbol News - USD, and so on. Change the magic number for each chart, any timeframe.
The robot works with pending and market orders. It places two Buy stop and Sell stop orders before a news release, or sets levels hidden from the broker. In case a level is broken, an order is opened.
The EA features a function for trading news from the list using pending and market orders. To use this, add the desired news to be traded and specify the numerical deviation for opening an order.
