Straddle Pro Auto

【The Ultimate Defense in News Trading】

"Predicting the direction of a price spike during Non-Farm Payrolls or Interest Rate decisions is often no different from gambling. With this EA, however, you can stop guessing and start capturing the resulting momentum while minimizing your risks."

Straddle Pro AutoEA is a fully automated straddle (dual pending stop orders) system specifically engineered for high-volatility moments triggered by high-impact economic news.

 Concept: Follow the Momentum, Don't Predict It

Seconds before a news release, the EA simultaneously places "Buy Stop" and "Sell Stop" orders above and below the current market price. When a strong move occurs in either direction, one order is executed, and the other is instantly cancelled (OCO - One Cancels Other).

Key Features

1. Full Economic Calendar Integration

   • Automatically fetches "High-Impact" news directly from the built-in MT5 Calendar. No manual time settings required. A live countdown timer is displayed directly on your chart.

2. ATR-Based Dynamic Parameters (For Professionals)

   • Automatically calculates entry distance, Take Profit, and Stop Loss based on the current market volatility (ATR). The EA determines the "Optimal Distance" to adapt to changing market conditions.

3. Ironclad Defense Logic (Spread Guard)

   • If the spread widens excessively during a news event, the EA will immediately abort or cancel pending orders to prevent execution at unfavorable prices. This protects you from "Hidden Losses" caused by market gaps.

4. Stop-Limit Order Support

   • Switch from standard Buy/Sell Stop orders to Stop-Limit orders to define your maximum slippage tolerance. This ensures you only enter the market within your specified price range.

5. Advanced Position Management

   • Equipped with an automated Break-even function and a Trailing Stop. Once a trade moves into profit, the EA secures your gains and trails the price to maximize potential upside.

【IMPORTANT】 Read Before Purchase

1. Regarding Strategy Tester Backtesting

This EA is designed to synchronize with real-time events from the MT5 Economic Calendar. Due to MetaTrader 5 limitations, the Strategy Tester cannot simulate future/past calendar events in a live environment.

Note: To verify the EA's logic, please test it on a Demo account during live news events or use the "Visual Mode" to inspect the UI and preview lines.

2. Slippage and Spreads

During high-impact news, it is standard for brokers to widen spreads significantly and for "price gaps" to occur (slippage). This is a characteristic of the global market, not a limitation of the EA. While our system includes advanced guards to mitigate these risks, it cannot eliminate them entirely.

3. Recommended Environment

• Low Spread Accounts (ECN/RAW/Zero) are strongly recommended.

• In news trading, every millisecond counts. We highly recommend running this EA on a Low-Latency VPS.

Parameter Guide

• InpImportance: Select the minimum news importance level (High/Moderate/Low).

• InpSecondsBefore: How many seconds before the news to place orders (Recommended: 5–10s).

• InpMaxSpread: Maximum allowed spread in points for placing orders.

• ATR Dynamic Mode: When ON, the EA uses volatility-based automatic calculations for all distances.

Risk Warning: Margin trading involves significant risk. While this system is designed to protect capital during market volatility, it does not guarantee profit or the prevention of all losses. Always trade with capital you can afford to lose.
