Red News Hedge Trading + EA

This buying and selling technique is predicated on making the most of excessive volatility available in the market as a result of excessive influence pink information. On this technique, we open two trades on two completely different foreign money pairs that are recognized to be correlated (positively or negatively). For instance, we open Lengthy positions on each EURUSD and USDJPY just a few seconds earlier than a excessive influence pink information within the hope that we'll profit from imbalance within the basket. I've written an EA that makes it simpler to commerce this technique. Connect the EA to considered one of foreign money pairs' chart (for instance, EURUSD), and enter the hedge foreign money pair image (for instance, USDJPY) within the enter settings of the EA. There are 4 buttons to open positions,

1. Purchase/Promote: the EA opens a Purchase place on the hooked up chart, and a Promote place on the hedge foreign money pair.
2. Promote/Purchase: the EA opens a Promote place on the hooked up chart, and a Purchase place on the hedge foreign money pair.
3. Purchase/Purchase: the EA opens Purchase positions on each foreign money pairs.
4. Promote/Promote: the EA opens Promote positions on each foreign money pairs.

and there are three buttons to shut the basket manually. You'll be able to specify the web take revenue (in cash, not pips!) within the enter settings of the EA.
