Which pair is the LEAST affected by news ?
Doesn't matter how much or how little it moves.
Just curious as to what pair has the least amount of News spikes ?

I'm sure this is not the simple answer you're looking for but it depends on what you're doing.

There are some tradeable currencies that are confined to narrow ranged by their central banks - they don't move much from day to day regardless of news, but you pay a high spread and often swap. I have a feeling this is not what you're looking for.

Beyond that, I think EUR/GBP and EUR/CHF fit the bill and possibly AUD/NZD, basically any cross that is made up of two highly correlated currencies. I don't have any hard data - you'll have to dig that up yourself .

Out of curiosity, why do you ask?

You must be running it on a shorter timeframe. It seems to me at least that the shorter the timeframe to more impact news has on the EA or system.

I believe it's possible to shut down your EA during news times automatically by having it read the FF calendar, and even if not, you can just shut it down manually. I don't use EAs because I suck at programming but I do have a manual scalping system that works very well except during news of course, so I just avoid those times - simple as that. I think this will allow you to trade the most liquid pairs with the lowest spreads instead of digging for a "news immune" pair. I'm sure you know spreads and execution can make or break your system. Cheers.

Does anyone else have any input about which symbol is least affected by high-impact news?

So far, I've identified EURCHF to be least affected by non-CHF news. It's a nice pair to trade from what I can see but you just can't trade EURCHF without a stop.

I guess as a follow-up question, which symbol has the least amount of news releases? I'm guessing CHF again?
