News Catcher Pro is a mean-reversion strategy that uses intraday seasonal volatility patterns caused by high-impact news events. It enters the market at a certain time shortly before a high-impact news event occurs. It does not trade frequently!

Supported currency pairs: GBPUSD, EURUSD, EURGBP

Recommended timeframe: M5

MT5 version can be found here

EA is FIFO compatible

The EA does not use martingale or grid, each trade protected by a stop loss!

To backtest the EA you should download the news events data file ‘NewsEvents.txt’ and copy it to the common MT4/5 directory – ‘\Common\Files’ (File – Open Data Folder -> Up to ‘Terminal’ – Common – Files). The data file can be found in the Comments section.
Features:
One Chart Setup: you only need one chart to trade all symbols
Multiple currency pairs support

Self Diagnostic System
Backtests should be done with Tick Data Suite GMT+2 with US DST. This GMT offset is used by most brokers
How to install
The EA must be attached to ONLY one M5 chart, EURUSD is recommended
If your broker uses a suffix (e.g. EURUSD.a) you should update names in the Symbol parameter
Use recommended pairs only. You don’t need .set files, all settings are stored internally in the EA
