One NFP can wipe a month of profits in 30 seconds.
You know the feeling. You had a great week. Positions are in profit, the setup was clean, execution was solid. Then the NFP number drops and in the time it takes to reach your keyboard, your stop loss is triggered, your spread is 40 pips, and the month is gone.
It's not a strategy problem. Your strategy was right. It's a news problem — and news is predictable.
PHANTOM News Shield reads the economic calendar before you need to and protects your trades automatically. Every scheduled high-impact event covered. No internet API needed. No subscription. No configuration headache.

### What PHANTOM News Shield Does
PHANTOM News Shield is a MetaTrader 5 utility that reads the MT5 built-in Economic Calendar and automatically triggers protective actions before scheduled news events. It runs continuously in the background — monitoring upcoming events, calculating countdown timers, and executing your chosen protection action at the exact buffer time you define.
When the event window passes, News Shield resumes normal operation automatically. You don't have to remember. You don't have to watch the clock. Shield handles it.
---
### Who This Is For
- Any MT5 trader who has been caught off-guard by high-impact news
- Prop firm traders where news spikes can violate daily loss limits in seconds
- EA users whose automated strategies have no built-in news awareness
- Swing traders who hold positions overnight or over weekends near major events
- Account managers handling multiple accounts who can't monitor every event manually
---
### How It Works
1. Shield reads the MT5 Economic Calendar — no external API, no internet, all data is already in your terminal
2. Upcoming events are detected based on your impact filter and currency settings
3. At your defined buffer time before the event (e.g., 5 minutes before NFP), Shield triggers your chosen action
4. Protection action executes — Close All, Tighten SL, or Pause EAs
5. After the event window, Shield automatically resumes normal state and restores EA operation
The entire cycle is automatic. Events covered every week, every month.

### Protection Actions
Choose one action that executes automatically at each covered news event:
Close All
Closes all open positions before the event. Maximum protection. Recommended for prop firm traders and volatile news like NFP, FOMC decisions, and surprise rate changes.
Tighten SL
Moves stop losses to break even or a defined tight distance behind price. Keeps you in the trade but caps downside. Good for swing traders who want to ride post-news momentum without full exposure.
Pause EAs
Disables automated expert advisors during the news window. They resume automatically after. Ideal for algorithmic traders whose EAs would otherwise trade straight through high-volatility periods.

### Good to Know
News Shield only protects against scheduled economic calendar events. It cannot predict surprise announcements, emergency central bank decisions, geopolitical events, or any unscheduled market-moving news. Plan your position sizing accordingly for tail-risk events.
MT5 Economic Calendar data depends on your broker's feed. Most major MT5 brokers provide complete calendar data. Verify your broker includes this before relying on Shield.
The Tighten SL action will not create a stop loss where none exists. If a trade has no SL set, Shield will not add one — it will only modify existing stop losses. Set SLs on all positions for full protection.
---

1. Drag PHANTOM News Shield onto any chart (runs account-wide)
2. Choose your protection action (Close All / Tighten SL / Pause EAs) and set buffer minutes
3. Done — Shield monitors all upcoming events from that moment forward
