Trading News Events

Hi Guys,
I am starting off in trading News events, I had few concerns and I was wondering if someone can help me.

1. Is there any platform / Plugin that automates the process, as in the puts the trade (Buy/sell) on the system on the basis of news event results. For ex if the consensus for US home sales is 850K,but if the actual comes out to be 900k then I want the software to put the Sell trade for me for EUR/USD.

2. Has anyone tried Level II Forex for news events?

3. Is anyone out there who had major success with trading news events?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Can I add to this question purely out of interest. I have never been a fan of trading the news as I trade 5 minute charts. However, we obviously get massive spikes on the odd occasion and I would love to benefit from that with a bit of spare capital. Can anyone let me know of their success rates or if there is anything to watch out for? Or, simply stay away.

Thanks in advance.
