Thank you for the interesting news system. The main problem that I see (as you mentioned in the beginning) is that stop losses are usually never kept by your broker during news times. Most brokers turn a stop loss order into a market order at news times so your stop loss will be at the top or bottom of the news spike. For NFP, you could end up at -100 pips in under 2 seconds!

I am curious to see how often this happens. As long as the win percentage is high enough, I guess this should not be a problem.
