Using
our forex economic calendar and its forecast, we will enter a market order 30 mins before news release and close it 2 or 3 hours later. Set SL and TP to the "Price Range" shown. We don't trade just every news listed in the calendar. Stick with only the ones that set off high and medium volatility on price, i.e. employment situation, interest rate announcement, ISM PMI, Chigago PMI, etc. Look for the ones with red icon. You should improvise the market order with like stop/limit order to gain some more pips.
Here's an example, in the attached calendar image, the calendar forecasted that on January 05 2007 13:30 GMT, the EURUSD would be moving down 80 pips. So at 13:00 GMT, you would short selling EURUSD with SL = 80 pips and TP = 80 pips. See the attached chart, we made at least 80 pips with this one event alone!
