+20.2 pips on ECB policy rate. Decide the target indicator in advance, and leave the execution to the EA only

October 29, 2026.

On this day, we targeted the ECB policy rate announcement with NewsBurst.

Currency pair: EURJPY.

Result is,

Holding time was about 1 minute 31 seconds.

This trade is quite straightforward.

We targeted about 20 pips.

Actual result also ＋20.2 pips.

This time EURJPY SELL

Actual result.

NewsBurst screen also records

EURJPY SELL ＋20.2p

as such.

The TP was set at 175.670.

Actual settlement price was 175.668.

It ended almost exactly at the planned 20 pips.

Sell on the downside movement after the data release

Looking at the chart, EURJPY moved downward from the time of the ECB policy rate.

NewsBurst entered SELL based on that price movement.

Entry at 175.870.

TP at 175.670.

About 20 pips lower.

Thereafter, the price moved up and down but progressed downward to reach TP.

Actual Exit at 175.668.

A fairly simple trade.

NewsBurst automatically executes up to entry

This is an important part of NewsBurst.

NewsBurst is not merely a tool that tells you when economic indicators come out.

Nor is it a tool that prepares orders and leaves the last click to humans.

Humans beforehand decide

• which indicators to target
• which currency pairs to use
• what Lot size to use
• Entry distance
• TP
• SL

such conditions.

Then, as the announcement time approaches, the EA prepares stop orders above and below the current price.

If the price moves, orders in that direction will execute.

When one side executes, the unfinished order on the opposite side is handled by the EA.

This time, since the price moved downward, it was SELL.

Then it progressed to TP and ended.

We delegate a few seconds of execution that are difficult for humans to handle to the EA.

But the EA does not decide which indicators to target

This is also important.

NewsBurst is not an EA that automatically trades whatever indicators exist every time an economic indicator is released.

You decide which indicators to target.

This time, ECB policy rate.

We had decided in advance to treat this indicator as the target.

There is no need to trade all indicators.

Indicators that are hard to move.

Indicators with small price movement relative to spread.

Indicators you don’t want to target.

In such cases, pass them.

Trade Plan is created with a dedicated Windows app

And NewsBurst does not require manual entry of weekly economic indicator schedules.

We provide an original Windows-only app,

NewsBurst Plan Builder

for this purpose.

In other words, every week,

you would otherwise open multiple economic indicator sites.

check the announcement times one by one.

manually input times into the CSV.

This system is designed to reduce such tasks.

For indicators supported, we primarily obtain schedules from primary sources such as official announcements.

Automatically collected. But the decision to target is yours.

Trading that seeks opportunities every day is not the goal

One reason NewsBurst was created is this.

Open charts every day and

decide where to enter today.

Look for opportunities.

Is it a buy now?

Sell?

I wanted to escape such constant weighing of trades.

Economic indicators have scheduled release times.

Then,

Decide which indicators to target for that week.

Set the conditions.

Create the plan.

Then wait until that time.

ECB policy rate this time is the same.

I didn’t search for it only just before the release.

From the start,

we decided to target this.

1 minute 31 seconds to take 20 pips

This trade held for about 1 minute 31 seconds.

Not long.

In economic indicator trading, the aim is not to hold a position for a long time.

A big price movement occurs right after the release.

Enter that initial move.

When the planned width is reached, finish.

This time about 20 pips.

Reached, so exit.

For several tens of minutes,

it could have extended further.

But that’s not the goal.

Take and finish.

From ＋2,020 yen to watching ＋20.2 pips

This trade’s profit is ＋2,020 yen.

Because it’s 0.10 Lot, the amount isn’t large.

But in this validation, what we’re watching is not how much money was made.

Here it is.

ECB policy rate.

EURJPY.

SELL.

＋20.2 pips.

First, we accumulate such results.

Is ECB policy rate worth targeting in the future?

Is EURJPY the right pair?

What about the Entry distance?

What about TP 20 pips?

We will examine over time.

Since this is indicator trading, spread and slippage are assumed

During economic indicator releases, it is different from normal times.

Slippage can occur.

Entry price.

TP.

SL.

Not all orders will fill at the exact price you set.

Prices move quickly at indicator times.

Nevertheless, the reason to target indicator trades is that

Instead of taking a few pips in small increments, aim for the large initial move created by the release.

That is the hallmark of this trade.

NewsBurst is not an EA that wins by itself

This point is repeated, but important.

NewsBurst is not an EA that automatically finds good indicators and makes profits by itself if you just leave it running.

Reduce the task of collecting economic indicator schedules with Plan Builder.

Create a Trade Plan.

Humans decide what to target.

Handle the瞬間 orders before and after the release by the EA.

This is how responsibilities are divided.

Not everything should be automated.

But what humans struggle with should be delegated to machines.

Not targeting everything is also part of the validation

From running NewsBurst so far,

indicators that moved a lot.

ones that hardly moved.

timeouts.

loss-making trades.

There were various cases.

Therefore, we do not think you should trade every auto-collected indicator.

Looking at actual data,

keep this indicator.

low its priority.

pass this.

and organize accordingly.

Moreover,

In NewsBurst, the trading you use is to “discard” nine out of ten.

That is the philosophy.

This ECB example was a very clear case

Let’s summarize the results.

October 29, 2026.

ECB policy rate.

EURJPY.

SELL.

0.10 Lot.

Entry 175.870.

Exit 175.668.

＋20.2 pips.

＋2,020 yen.

Holding time about 1 minute 31 seconds.

Exit reason: TP.

Quite simple.

Decide what to target in advance.

Set the conditions.

Wait until the announcement time.

EA makes the entry.

Moves 20 pips.

Finish at TP.

Phase 0 Member Recruitment Continues

Currently, NewsBurst is recruiting phase 0 development partners.

This is not just about making EA access cheaper.

What we want you to examine together is,

which indicators move.

which indicators don’t.

What about the Entry distance.

What about the TP.

What about the SL.

What about timeouts.

What about the spread.

What about fills.

These are real-world operation data.

We want to think about that together.

In Closing

This ECB policy rate was a very clear case.

Targeted about 20 pips.

Actual result is ＋20.2 pips.

Holding time about 1 minute 31 seconds.

Nothing spectacular happened.

But I think accumulating such trades is more important.

Organize plans in advance.

Choose indicators to target yourself.

Set the conditions.

Wait until that moment.

Only a few seconds before and after the release, leave execution to the EA.

Then finish where you targeted.

Only where necessary, humans decide.

Leave that execution to NewsBurst.

The ECB policy rate this time was a trade that embodied that idea.
