Disliked{quote} Yes, reeeeealy thanks. lets see the movement on Thursday. if the movement is too large can be safe whait retraction before starting the EAIgnored
To start or not to start the EA, after a news released in less than 3 hours before EA started, usually I look for a sharp movement about 1 hour before EA started. It can be a sharp movement up or down in the chart, then the price settles down over there, or it can be a retracement.
If I see those, that means the price is reacting to the news, and will ease soon. So, it is safe to start the EA.
If I don't see those, I'm getting suspicious whether the news impact is reflected after EA started.
Because, when a news (high impact one) is released, the impact to the price can be immediate, or it can be a few minutes to hours later. Once I see a movement, I'm sure it'll ease down very soon, then EA can start.
Unless you're facing FOMC Statement + Interest Rate change, or NFP, you'll be dead anyway.
Just my 2 cents.
If you ask me to code/fix your EA... it's probably not for free...
