Trade Scheduled News Breakouts with Precision

NewsStraddle is a NinjaTrader 8 automation tool designed to place opposing stop orders at an exact date and time—down to the second.

Before a scheduled event, the bot places a Buy Stop above the current price and a Sell Stop below it. Both entries use OCO logic: when one side executes, the opposite pending order is automatically canceled.

Key features:

• Exact scheduling by date, hour, minute, and second
• Configurable entry distance in ticks
• Adjustable contract quantity
• Automatic OCO entry management
• Stop Loss and Take Profit in ticks
• Real-time TP and SL dollar estimates
• Optional pending-order expiration
• Countdown in weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds
• Premium on-chart panel with four selectable positions
• Clear expired-date alerts
• Fully designed for NinjaTrader 8

Requirements: NinjaTrader 8, Windows, real-time market data, and a compatible brokerage or evaluation account.

Risk notice: News trading involves extreme volatility, slippage, gaps, latency, and possible order rejection. Stop orders do not guarantee a specific execution price. NewsStraddle does not guarantee profits or account approval. Always test with Playback or Sim101 before trading real funds.
