In my opinion, news may or will move the market in one direction or another and initiate trades that will then retrace with hopefully a profit. I am not sure News is negative to our EA.
I actually think it may be very positive.

I can't see this as something I would want to implement for basically the same reason as Dave mentions. Thanks for the input though.
I'm not averse to restricting opening of NEW trades to defined sessions though. I think there is some code in one of Steves other EA's that can do that.
What interests me is the request in itself which is just another symptom of the wider problem of how to deal with drawdowns caused by death moves.
The key to the future of this EA is to handle that issue.
