INPUT PARAMETERS 

Trading

NewsTime — date and time of the news release to trade on. In cTrader, there are five separate parameters instead: year, month, day, hour, and minute.

StopLoss (default = 15) — the stop-loss in pips to be used when opening a trade. Ignored if UseATR = true.

TakeProfit (default = 75) — the take-profit in pips to be used when opening a trade. I recommend setting it to at least 5×stop-loss. Ignored if UseATR = true.

Direction (default = Both) — the direction of the position opened to trade the news. Can be of the following four types:

Buy — a buy position.

Sell — a sell position.

Both — both buy and sell positions.

Random — a random position.

NOTES:  In MT5 (netting mode), the Both option uses pending orders because it is impossible to open two opposite positions for the same currency pair in MT5 without hedging mode. In hedging mode, MT5 version of the News Trader operates similarly to MT4. In cTrader, the direction choice is made by a trader using three separate input parameters (Buy, Sell, Randomize) as the platform does not support enumerated parameters.

TrailingStop (default = None) — the type of trailing stop to use with the position. Can be the following:

Breakeven — the stop-loss will be moved to breakeven when the profit matches stop-loss.

Full — classic trailing stop that moves the stop-loss up as the profit rises.

None — no trailing stop.

NOTES: In cTrader, the trailing stop selection is made by a trader using two separate input parameters (Trailing Stop and Breakeven Stop). If Trailing Stop is set to true, Breakeven Stop parameter is ignored.

PreAdjustSLTP (default = false) — if true, EA will be updating SL and TP values according to the current price after opening positions before news comes out.

SecondsBefore (default = 18) — the number of seconds before the news release to open the positions.

CloseAfterSeconds (default = 3600) — the number of seconds after the news release to close the positions. Ignored if zero.

SpreadFuse (default = true) — if true, the EA will not trade if the spreads widen to be greater or equal to the given stop-loss.

ATR

UseATR (default = false) — if true, ATR indicator determines the stop-loss and take-profit levels.

ATR_Period (default = 14) — the period of the ATR indicator, which is used for stop-loss and take-profit calculation. Works only if UseATR = true.

ATR_Multiplier_SL (default = 1) — a multiplier for the ATR indicator's value to get the stop-loss value. Works only if UseATR = true.

ATR_Multiplier_TP (default = 5) — a multiplier for the ATR indicator's value to get the take-profit value. Works only if UseATR = true.

MoneyRisk (default = 0) — risk tolerance in account currency. Works only if MM = true. Requires UseMoneyInsteadOfPercentage set to true.

UseMoneyInsteadOfPercentage (default = false) — if true, position size is calculated based on risk amount given in account currency (MoneyRisk) instead of balance/equity percentage risk (Risk). Works only if MM = true.
