IDEA: Profiting from news hedging using TS+Step.

 

Idea: A high impact news release is coming up in X minutes time.

We enter a two-way trade (a hedge) and wait.

The instrument we are trading spikes up then pulls back slightly, this pull back is a cue to close the SELL position and open a second BUY position while using a trailing stop with trailing step on both BUY trades.


Your thoughts please..

This idea was already implemented on few external forums many years ago, and EAs (trading dailyfx calendar, or forex-factory calendar) with many versions were created and uploaded there by source codes. But for MT4 only sorry. It may be good to see similar tool for Metatrader 5 for example.

Use google to search (I will not upload any external links because of the rules sorry).
