The strategy used by this trading robot is placing stop orders (Pending) before the news event. The news event release time can be accessed from investment.com an app that the trader must download from play store into his/her mobile device. The robot places two stop orders, a Buy Stop and Sell Stop at the same time at least two minutes before news release time. For example, if the news release time is 15:30, the pending orders will be opened at 15:28(see how to insert the news time at screenshot). There are two ways for placing stop orders; Either manual by pressing the Buy & Sell Stop button or by entering the time of placing pending orders in the trading panel. When the news is released the robot waits for one pending order to trigger and delete the untriggered order immediately. If no trade is activated, both pending orders will be deleted. The traders can choose to use stop losses, trailing stops, And take profit. Additional buttons are available on the robot trading panel for additional trading functions as shown in the next figure.
