About News EAs
News EAs either trade the release itself, often with a straddle of pending orders a few minutes before, or read an economic calendar and stop other EAs from trading around high-impact events such as payrolls, CPI and central bank decisions.
Spreads widen and stop orders slip badly in the first seconds after a release, and backtests rarely show it. A news filter is often the more useful of the two kinds.
12 of these 60 EAs use grid or martingale logic and are marked High risk.
Before You Run One
- Check which calendar it reads and how it handles time zones.
- Expect much wider spreads and slippage than in a backtest.
- Test it live on a demo account across a few real releases.
