 10 NEWS TRADING STRATEGIES

1) Pre-News Butterflies

These trades involve trading binaries that are in the money within the range 30, 60, and 90 minutes before the report with expiration being before the report (occasionally we may have one that goes after if it has a tight range before and after the report.

To do this strategy use the binary scanner with risk settings put on 70-90 with the from to expiration slider set to binaries that expire previous to the release.

Enter a ITM binary trade ideally with $15-$25 of max profit potential on both sides the buy and the sell. In addition you ideally want them close to equal distances from the market. You can also leg into the binary butterfly.

You can do apex iron binary butterflies previous to the news using Nadex Binaries and the Nadex binary scanner. [they should expire BEFORE THE NEWS EVENT)

Note butterflies are usually fast and exact and are rarely tweeted.

We highly encourage you to post them in the chat room if you are doing them put P3$IDEA before the contract name, strike, expiraiton time and entry price. (Tip copy and paste the contract name from the ticket when you open it from the scanner to make it easy to post in the room)

2) Pre-News Apex Binary Entry

This trade involves trading an OTM binary where you don’t need to take a stop loss due to low risk based on entering on the APEX (E 3 tick breakout)

You need to be an elite trial member or subscriber to do this strategy.

To do this trade simply look to enter on an APEX on a large range currency pair for the news announcement before the news comes out then set a take profit based on the range expected.

 

3) Pre-News Apex Spread Entry

This trade involves trading  a spread that has a larger breakeven distance where don’t need to take a stop loss due to low risk based on entering on the APEX (E 3 tick breakout)

You need to be an elite trial member or subscriber to do this strategy.

To do this trade simply look to enter on an APEX on a large range currency pair for the news announcement before the news comes out then set a take profit based on the range expected.

 

4) News Spread Straddle

This is the most common strategy and involves buying a spread above the market and selling a spread below the market. Use $100 max risk and put 1 in the risk reward ratio of the spread scanner to find potential straddle news trades.

When the news does not have  surprising release we often can exit the spreads at break even.

Ideally this trade is entered no later than 25 minutes before the news to not have to pay extra premium for increase implied volatility making the spreads more expensive.

 

5) News Binary Strangles

This strategy usually looks more attractive than a straddle as there is less dollars at risk. However, if the target is not hit it usually has a total loss so it will lose more often than a News Straddle.

To do this strategy choose OTM binaries with $5 to $20 Risk and a minimum reward ratio of 1:1. You can put the range in the simulate a range feature to see where to set your take profit limit order.

Ideally this trade is entered no later than 25 minutes before the news to not have to pay extra premium for increase implied volatility making the spreads more expensive.

 

6) News Iron Butterflies

This strategy is often done on currency pairs that have consistently showed a low volatility on a news release. It is set to expire ideally shortly after the news release (less than 2 hours).

To do this strategy use the binary scanner with risk settings put on 70-90 with the from to expiration slider set to binaries that expire previous to the release.

Enter a ITM binary trade ideally with $15-$25 of max profit potential on both sides the buy and the sell. In addition you ideally want them close to equal distances from the market. You can also leg into the binary butterfly.

Ideally the butterfly is entered about 20 to 5 minutes before the news is released to take advantage of the increase in implied volatility to allow you to trade a wider range.

I will be teaching how to do this on spreads as well in the future.

 

7) Post News Retracement Binary Trade

This strategy is done on certain news announcements that have a history of retracing after the initial spike. After the retracement if there is one, you enter directionally with a binary. Take profit is set either at the spike level if the news was different but the target was not hit or at the edge of the range if the actual was different than the forecast by the amount we specified. Could do OTM if can do at 1:1 or can do a ITM close when level hit or at 80% of max profit.
