Risk disclosure

News trading is especially fast

GoldenStraddler is built to trade the seconds around high-impact economic releases. That's when markets move fastest and conditions are worst:

• Spreads widen, sometimes many times over their normal size.
• Slippage: stop orders can fill well away from their price, and stop losses can close worse than set.
• Gaps: price can jump past an order or a stop without trading in between.
• Whipsaws: price can fill one side and reverse straight into the stop loss.
• No move: some releases do nothing, and neither order fills.
• Some brokers delay, requote or reject orders around news, or change their conditions without notice.

Technology can fail

The EA only works while MetaTrader 5 is running and connected. A computer that sleeps, a dropped connection, a VPS problem, a broker outage, a wrong calendar entry or a software fault can mean missed trades, unmanaged positions or unexpected results.

Past results don't predict future results

Any result shown on this website, including our own account, comes from one account at one broker over a limited time. Your results will be different, and they can be much worse.

Check your broker and prop firm rules

Many funded-account programmes and some brokers don't allow trading around news, or limit it. Using the EA against those rules can cost you your account or your payouts. Read their terms first.

You're in control

You choose the account, the lot size, the settings and whether to run it at all. Start on a demo account, use a size you're comfortable losing, and make sure you understand how the EA works before you go live. If you're unsure whether trading is right for you, speak to an independent, licensed financial adviser.
