Thanks FerruFX. I understand your view on that but the broker I'm with now has slow execution during news times and stop-loss or entry orders will NOT be respected during news releases plus I'm using the Perfect Trailing Stop EA that modifies the stop loss as needed. At news times orders may be filled higher than your buy order and you can be stopped out at much lower price below your SL. Their spreads increase during that time so for a beginner I think that it's best to let an EA close all orders before any news announcments. Does such an EA exist?
