This thoroughly tested Expert Advisor opens one position during high and/or medium impact news releases.
Four different strategies can be used for trading news events:
- Strategy 1: The news release straddle strategy opens seconds before the news release a buy stop and a sell stop order at a certain price distance from the current open price. When one of the orders gets triggered after the news release, the other order can be cancelled.
- Strategy 2: The news release trend strategy opens a buy or sell order seconds before the news release. The trend filter determines if a buy or sell order is opened and will increase the probability of opening the position in the right direction of the price surge.
- Strategy 3: The news reversal strategy opens a buy or sell order after the news release. The reverse signal indicator on the higher timeframe determines if a reverse trade is made when a certain amount of price change has occurred.
- Strategy 4: The reverse reaction strategy does not work only during news releases but at any moment when on the higher timeframe a price movement occurs where the Inverse Signal indicator affirms a price reversal after a certain minimal price change has occurred. For this strategy it is not necessary that the news calendar is activated.
All four strategies can be used with an optimized trailing stop which will start after a certain amount of profit has been reached. This way your profits will stay protected if the market reverses.
News from different countries can be selected depending on which currency pair you use. You can use either the Meta Trader 5 built in economical calendar or use the economical calendar from Forex Factory.
The news events can also be back tested. For this you need to place a news.csv file in the following directory: C:\Users\username>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\Common\Files
You can create the csv-file yourself by using this script which you can download here or download the csv-file from the comments section which has economical news data from Investing.com from 2021.01.01 to 2024.08.01 for all currencies which can be selected in the news settings of the Expert Advisor.
With back testing hundreds of news events you will have a big advantage compared to the manual traders which have a higher probability of losing their trades during news events.
But make sure when trading the news that you have a broker which doesn’t widen the spread to much, as they will take a big piece of your profit by widening the spreads or immediately after the news release take out your stop loss. Preferably use a broker with an ECN account.
