News Straddle

Version 1.0Publié August 2026Développeur EAbaseActivations 2 terminauxLicence durée d'un an

Aperçu

News Straddle is a high-impact-event straddle on XAUUSD M15. About two minutes before a scheduled event it anchors a floating BuyStop and SellStop around price, so the data spike - not ordinary drift - triggers the entry, then a tight trailing stop locks in the move.

Only one event trades at a time; Friday auto-flattening and a floating drawdown circuit breaker cap risk. The verified 2021-2026 backtest shows +20,746 net on a $10k account, profit factor 4.38, across 284 trades, with max drawdown 571 (5.7% of balance).

Comment il trade

  • Anchors a floating BuyStop/SellStop around price ~2 min before a high-impact event (Fri 15:30 / Wed 21:00 server time by default).
  • One event at a time; OCO cancel; tight trailing stop after entry.
  • Friday auto-flatten + floating-DD circuit breaker; sealed core, PropGuard-ready, 2-terminal license.
News spreads and slippage are extreme around events - live results can differ sharply from backtest. Use an ECN account, cap risk at 0.5%-1% per event, and run on a VPS. Verified backtest uses the Exness XAUUSDm feed, 2021-2026; the economic calendar is unavailable inside the MT5 tester, so the backtest trades a fixed weekly event schedule (not the live calendar).

Frequently asked questions

What do I get after purchase?

A license key is emailed to you together with a secure download link. Choose your platform (MT4 .ex4 or MT5 .ex5), then paste the key into the EA's License Key field to activate it.

Which platform does it run on?

Both MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). One license covers both builds — download whichever you need. Note: the MT5 build requires a hedging-mode account (the retail default).

How many terminals can I activate?

Up to 2 terminals (for example a home PC and a VPS). The license binds to your MT4 account on first activation.

Does it trade automatically?

Yes — it is an expert advisor that executes its strategy automatically once attached and activated. You stay in control of risk via the inputs.
