Aggressive News Trading

I'm opening this thread to discuss various methods of trading news releases whether it is to enter after the release, at the moment of release, or prior to the release.

The only currency remaining to be added to the mix for this week is the CAD for Friday. The CAD pairs will be added to the mix on Thursday after 18:00 GMT+2.

Hi,
In my opinion, news trading and setting up positions before news releases is too dangerous trading and hard risk managable strategy.
I know traders who set pending trades, but it works only when the news movement has one direction, but don't move in both (up and down immediately).
I accept trading after news release, when the price has a correction or movement continuation signs.

Any strategy for entry would be risky if other things about that strategy such as trade management are not done properly for that strategy.

In this thread we can discuss the various ways we're doing things but try to show results to show that whatever it was that you tried worked for you.

I started a new TE on Friday for the way that I plan to try it moving forward and that is to trade in either direction before a release and close at the time of release, and finally close any remaining trades shortly after a release. I missed the AUD release but I did trade the GBP, and CAD releases.

I agree with you that it is important to follow the further rules of trade and management, after trade opening.

But trading on the news involves an increase in risk, which means that this risk will need to be reduced by tightening money management.

Tell me, how do you assess the impact of the news release on the market? I believe that this is difficult enough, unless of course you have insider information.
Thank you.

Of course I don't have access to any insider information so as for assessing the impact of the news, I only trade the currency listed to be on the high-impact list on Forex Factory. I believe the "high-impact" label is most accurate on the Forex Factory website and not DailyFX or Myfxbook.

For instance, I've noticed a pair to be listed on either of these sites as high-impact and, not on Forex Factory and after observing the event, it hardly caused any volatility to the currency.

I'm going to trade the various releases on different accounts so that the impact and profitability could be better estimated. The 1st on the list is USD so beginning trading USD pairs 7 hours prior to the release, and closing all shortly after the release (30 minutes to 2 hours after, this is still being optimized).

This should take various factors? Example, are you bearish on USD, or are you looking for the forecast to trade in any direction, then after which is best and more profitable supply/demand trading, or swing. I don't trade on news, only on demo account and better after the news release, when my view about the pair I trade matches the release.

It seems to me that aggressive trading in any direction - technical analysis or fundamental analysis - is not the best solution. This is because each of us has to look at the situation objectively and assess risks. And if you are constantly acting hard, thinking only about how to reach a certain financial position faster and no matter what methods - you will definitely stay with nothing. It seems to me that you have to act more calmly, calculate your capital, select the assets that can bring the most predictable positive result. I think that the main thing is steel nerves and calmness, then you will definitely have the result.

In my opinion, an aggressive and tough approach to trading is appropriate only when there are strong news that have the greatest impact on the market. This allows you to assess the situation in a more rigid framework and you really have a chance to make money in this case. But it is also worth remembering how the situation was with a certain asset before, what indicators were observed at the release of the previous report, etc. In any case, it is worth doing a detailed analysis and trying to look at the situation from different angles. In general, such strategies can help both to make a quick profit and to quickly lose capital, so it seems to me that they can only be adhered to by traders with great experience and real instinct in the market.

Investing under News is a very interesting strategy, but very risky and it is better not to use Stop Loss

We can think about making EA connected to calendar FF and trade only under NEWS, what do you think about it? What conditions would you add to such an EA?
