Flexible NEWS TRADER Expert Advisor / Auto Trader for MT4 Allows You to Capitalise on Market-Moving News
The newest addition to the Slick Trade stable of professional trading tools is the flexible NEWS TRADER, our latest Expert Advisor/Auto Trader for MT4. This was created at the request of Slick Trade member Kevin who specializes in trading the news and was looking for a flexible tool to automate this aspect of his trading.
Based on the popular Sominex Expert Advisor, which was specifically created to trade the London Breakout while you sleep, our all new NEWS TRADER has additional built in flexibility that enables you to trade the time frame of your choice based on your personal trading style and the specific news release.
Like Sominex, the NEWS TRADER Expert Advisor automatically places 2 pending orders on the instrument of your choice at the specified number of pips above and below the high and low of the specified candle. When one pending order is triggered the other is automatically cancelled and you are in the trade. You can set different inputs for the EA based on your personal preference and we advise using the trail stop feature to get the most out of each trade.
We hope you enjoy the latest addition and as always welcome your feedback regarding how you are using the News Trader along with preferred settings you would like to share.
