ProNewsTrader Expert Advisor features various strategies and the built-in economic calendar. In addition to trading news, the strategies can be used independently.

The economic calendar is capable of dividing news into four groups according to their importance.

The trading time is set automatically but you can also set it manually or disable trading by news. In that case, the EA works autonomously according to the selected strategy.

The EA features virtual take profit, trailing stop and stop loss levels.

It is also possible to replace a stop loss with averaging or hedging meaning that only positions with a total profit can be closed. However, the risks when using the method increase significantly. Flat is dangerous for hedging, while trend is undesirable for averaging.

Strategy 1:

Positions specified in the parameters are opened 5 seconds before the news. Then a position is accompanied by a special virtual trailing stop or closed by a stop loss.

Strategy 2:

The EA places virtual pending orders at a predefined distance from the price 5 seconds before the news. An order in the price movement direction is opened afterwards. If no order is opened, the orders are removed 5 seconds after the specified time. An open position is accompanied by a virtual trailing stop or closed by a take profit/stop loss.

Strategy 3:

The EA opens orders based on the actual data in the direction of a positive or negative deviation from the forecast. If the actual value is equal to the forecast one, then the order is not opened. An open position is accompanied by a virtual trailing stop or closed by a take profit/stop loss.
