AFTERSHOCK

Stays out during the news spike, then trades the continuation once the dust settles and price holds beyond the spike range.

How it works

Most bots simply avoid news. AFTERSHOCK uses the news filter as step one: it stays flat through the release, waits out the cooldown, then measures the high and low of the spike. If price holds beyond that range it joins the direction the market chose. If price falls back inside, it does nothing.

Key features

  • Blocks entries before and during high-impact news
  • Cooldown timer, then reads the spike range
  • Enters only if price holds and breaks the range
  • News filter pauses new entries around high-impact releases and resumes after a cooldown you set, and it is the core of this bot

Suits you if

Experienced traders who understand news volatility and want a bot that trades the aftermath, not the spike.

Watch out for

Spreads and slippage can stay wide after big releases, which hurts entries. It trades rarely, and some releases give no clean follow-through. Run it on demo through several releases first.
