THE PROBLEM
First Friday of the month, 14:30 UTC. NFP releases. XAUUSD spikes 340 pips in 30 seconds. Your EA had an open BUY. Your stop was 80 pips away. By the time you looked up from Slack, you were down the whole month. And this happens every single month.
HOW IT WORKS
Step by step
1
Reads MT5 calendar
News Shield scans the built-in economic calendar for upcoming events.
2
Detects high-impact event
Filters by impact level (High/Medium/Low) and affected currency.
3
Triggers your action
15 minutes before the event, your configured action kicks in automatically.
4
Protects your trades
Closes open trades, tightens SL, or pauses other EAs — your choice.
5
Resumes after buffer
After the event plus your configured buffer time, normal trading resumes.
FEATURES
Everything included
✓
Auto-close before news
Close all positions for affected currencies before the event hits.
✓
Tighten SL option
Instead of closing, move stop loss to break-even or a tight level.
✓
Pause other EAs
Prevent other expert advisors from opening new trades during news.
✓
High / Medium / Low filter
Choose which impact levels trigger protection. Most traders use High only.
✓
Currency filter
Only protect specific currencies. Trade JPY pairs during USD news if you want.
✓
Buffer minutes
Configurable cooldown after the event before resuming. Default: 15 min.
✓
Easy mode
Just 2 inputs: impact level and action. Everything else is automatic.
✓
No internet needed
Uses MT5 built-in calendar. Works 100% offline.
GOOD TO KNOW
Transparency builds trust
→Scheduled events only: NFP, CPI, FOMC, ECB, BoE, etc. If it's on the calendar, it's covered.
→Unscheduled events (war, SNB unpegging, bank failures) will still hit you. Nothing protects against those.
→The MT5 calendar lags 1-2 minutes. The default 15-minute buffer absorbs that. Don't tighten it below 10.
→If you trade news (breakout plays on NFP), uninstall this. It's designed for people who want to sit news out.
