News Trading Strategy: Pending Orders on M1
This strategy is designed to capture the explosive volatility caused by major macroeconomic releases like Non-Farm Payrolls or GDP. It avoids guessing the direction by placing Buy Stop and Sell Stop pending orders minutes before the news, allowing the market momentum to trigger the correct entry.
