The strategy we explored in the previous article centered on placing pending orders shortly before a high-impact news release. The goal was to capture profits from the sharp price movements that often follow such events. While this approach can be effective, there are scenarios where it falls short—such as when one of the orders is triggered but fails to reach the take profit level, eventually hitting the stop loss instead.

In the next section, we’ll dive into the integration plan for this strategy and assess its feasibility through chart history analysis and live logic implementation.
