Trading forex news strategy in MT5
In this post I will write about how to trade forex news with MT5 Order management. This is the safest method that I know, because pending limit orders are not smart order types to prevent bad market conditions for order execution (huge spread, price slippage, price gap,...)
Forex news trading strategy important facts (my trading approach in MT5):
- Prepare time alert 15 minutes before high impact news and mark best possible supply and demand zones where price can go
- Wait for news to be released and see if marked supply demand rectangle zones are broken/engulfed or they are consumed (level hold price)
- If zones are broken then I wait price to retrace back to news release origin and try to enter market in this area of big liquidity gap
- I use Trading box Order management for Metatrader 5 to execute trade with help of advanced trading orders (smart trading order types)
On first picture below I show how I prepare my chart for trading forex news strategy with trading box tools. I used pullback limit order with Fixed risk option. This can significantly improve risk reward ratio of trade, increase lot size but the risk stays the same. It is really great advanced order type for forex trading based on news releases.
Second picture already show the result of trade that I was describing above. This is how to trade forex on news releases. I waited news to be released and demand with fresh orders is created. Then I used Pullback limit order to place smart order trade. You can see how origin of news spike had fresh orders, because price reacted strongly from demand opening my buy positions at better price than original order box price. This trade was executed in MT5 forex news trading.
