News Volatility Bracketing Strategy

This is a news-volatility bracketing strategy. Five seconds before a scheduled release, the strategy brackets price with a buy-stop above and a sell-stop below (OCO), then converts the untouched side into nothing while the filled side runs with a 1:1 TP/SL set the same distance from entry. Distances are configurable in USD or %, so it scales to the instrument and can run on 1-second data (or higher TF with bar-magnifier). The edge it’s trying to capture is the immediate, one-directional burst and liquidity vacuum that often follows market-moving news—entering on momentum rather than predicting direction. Primary risks are slippage/spread widening and whipsaws right after the print, which can trigger an entry then snap back to the stop.
