Anticipate news and close trades with EA
jepper: The problem: Programatically exit trades, downsize, or just not trade that [morning|day|evening] before major news events, e.g. interest rate announcements and such.
General question - is anyone familiar with / aware of a free or cheap financial news service where the schedule of news releases is consumable trough API? The idea being to pull this in a few times per day, and allow the bot to trade/not trade accordingly. Ok not a huge deal, I can just code a schedule myself, make it a weekly manual task before the markets trade, what's worth the risk and what not, but trying to fully automate it would be nice.
