ENewsLucky

For those who trade on news... It may take some time, about 15 minutes, to get market's response to news release. So, the question. Is it possible to create an EA which would place orders every 5 minutes and remove orders in 20 minutes of their existence, and place them again when a new candle opens? Can orders be placed when the EA is running? For example, you wake up in the morning, see when news are going to be released, set start and end time, so you don't have to wait for it during the whole day. For example, you can set trailing to 25 points and go about your business.

I selected slightly different way. The EA places BuyStop and SellStop orders in the prescribed time. Distance from orders to current market prices is adjustable. If no order triggers when a new bar is opened, the EA modifies orders. It will move orders, so they will be at a desired distance from the market. Thus, the current timeframe determines frequency of not triggered orders modification. If you want them to be modified every 5 minutes, set the EA to M5. If you want them to be modified every hour, set the EA to H1. When one order triggers, the other one is deleted. A position is closed by stop loss/take profit, or in the prescribed time.

Added the KolBarExtr parameter, which allows to specify the number of bars for the analysis of the distance to place the pending orders.
