Hi there built this simple EA based on hedge trading High Volatility periods.
Seems to have edge but i’m not sure how to model spread variation and slippage.
High Vols H.zip (12.6 KB)
Jan 4 2016 to June 22 2016 on GBPUSD
The idea would be to run it across 100 or so instruments concurrently, FX,Commodities,Indices etc…
I would never trade high volatility hours or news now. That’s how I blew my first forex account.
Execution on news release is problematic - the widening spreads are also a problem.
You should be able to predict the movement of spreads for your broker with volatility and volume. Better still market depth. That will not be easy but would be well worth the effort.
