I am building a news trading EA and currently working on NFP.
I have coded a python api for getting the nonfarm payroll data and comparing it to the previous month.
Then I'm going to build the dll for metatrader to import and use the data for trading triggers in an EA.
I'm just wondering what a good trigger to start the testing of the NFP trader EA.
For example:
If CurrentNFP > PreviousNFP and by how much of a trigger would be a good time to trade
Or if it's lower and by how much would be a good time to trade ?
I know the larger the difference of course a safer trade, but what would be minimum trigger to start with that would be considered a safe bet ?
