How News Spike EA Pro Captured +530 Pips on XAUUSD During NFP

Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) is one of the most important high-impact economic events for financial markets. The release can cause significant volatility in USD-related instruments, including Gold (XAUUSD).

In this article, I want to share a real NFP trading example using News Spike EA Pro, showing the economic release, the XAUUSD market reaction, the EA's trade execution, and the resulting +530 pips captured on the SELL trade.

NFP Economic Data

For this particular NFP release, the economic-calendar data showed:

• Non-Farm Employment Change: Actual 162K
• Forecast: 55K
• Previous: 21K

The NFP result was significantly above the forecast, and the release was followed by strong market movement.
