Good morning Forex factory, The name is Kevin I am new to this fourm but have heard good things about the content over here.
The reason that I am here is simply because I heard that there was a way using the economic calender on this site, to turn your EA off prior to a news announcement.
What I would like to do is add a function to the EA that i am running that.
1. turn off the scalper system 15 min prior to the announcements.
2. sets a straddle 1 min prior to the announcement
3. takes 20 - 100 pips on the news event.
4. turns the Scalper back on 30 min later.
Is this possible ? I figure that it needs a news reader, to plug into the calender. ( which I cannot seem to find a working ver of) and then a straddle system to trade the event ( which there seem to be plenty of floating around)
has this been done before ? can anyone here point me in the right direction ? I think that this would be good functionality to add to any existing EA.
Thanks you,
KK
