5. Strategy setup panel
Click to any upcoming news in the list, strategy setup panel for that news will popup.
-
Predict the news: This strategy is very simple, just predict the market move direction after news release, then set it to open Buy or Sell order before news release. This method can maximize the profit and avoid slippage because order is opened when market is still silent, but it also can whipsaw your account if you choose the wrong direction in big news. This is for one who likes to take risk.
-
Pending trap: This is typical strategy that places two opposite pending stop orders before news release to catch the breakout. Regardless of direction of the price move, we expect a large jump and it will trigger one of the pending orders. In some rare cases, some traders may want to use limit orders instead of stop ones, to catch the reversion of a price move. In this strategy, setting a reasonable SL, TP and trailing SL is critical.
-
Grid pending trap: Similar to pending trap strategy, but grid pending trap strategy sets a series of pending orders (like a grid). This strategy catches the price move in smaller parts and sums them up in the final result.
-
Martingale pending trap: Also known as “Never lose again” strategy, martingale strategy uses lot size increase to cover its previous losses (if any). This is great when combining with news, when the price usually has big move. However, do not set the initial lot size too large since if there are spikes on the news, your account will be margin called before price moves in one direction.
-
Based on actual report: This strategy waits until the actual report of the news is loaded, then compare it to forecast/previous data in order to decide the direction of the trade. This strategy is suitable for important news that impact the market in mid to long-term.
-
Setting parameters:
-
Fixed pending: Pending orders will stand constantly, but may be triggered at the wrong moment by price’s fluctuation before news release.
-
Floating pending: Pending orders will always keep a distance from the current Bid/Ask until news release, so they are usually triggered by news impact only.
-
Stoploss/Takeprofit distance: Set the Stoploss/Takeprofit distance of the order. If you don’t want to set those level, just set it at zero.
-
Trigger time before news release: The number of seconds before news release that strategy will be executed. If you want to test the strategy or trade manually without waiting for news release, just set this factor at a big number such as 99999, then it will execute the plan right after you apply.
-
Trailing stoploss: Start trailing stoploss level with a fixed distance when that trailing stoploss level is far at number of point from entry point.
-
Hidden initial SL: This will hide the actual stoploss of the order, it remembers that stoploss level and only “manually” close the order once the price reach that virtual stoploss and the spread is lower than a maximum value. This helps you to avoid unwanted stoploss when spread is widen.
