The slippage I am finding kills good trades on news if you are trying to capture the initial spike and also when there is a large whipsaw movement. A strategy that seeks to capture the moves in the currency after news is published but starts a trend that you can capture would be good to I guess you need wider SL set so the spread widening doesn't take you out but you can get on wrong side when your pending orders are triggered but the initial move wasn't the 'correct' one and it quickly reverses, like what I assume happened with your GBP news above? good luck though will follow your results.

Yes, you are right on many points:
Catching the first move is usually a bad thing because of the widen spread and most of the time a news has just a zig zag effect on price action. You have well noticed that I got killed on GBP trades.
So I will explain a bit more what is my strategy for news?
Dashboard EA will be activated right after a news only if some conditions are met (in fact I'm simply checking is the news is supposed to be strong and should go in one direction). Obviously, it's impossible to know it, but anyway.
If so, then EA will open some pairs listed into dashboard. The pair listed (screen shot from closing week) is the most trendy pair at current moment. You can have a look at power 7 is maximun (very bullish) -7 is very bearish.
The good thing about this dashboard is it's never wrong. But it doesn't provide specific or technical entry. (just trend identification)
For years, I have noticed a simple fact... Why there is trend? Simply because a bench of news goes bad 10 times in a row.
So the idea is simply to enter into the trend identified when a red news is supposed to affect market.
My SL is 30, tp 55
I have a B/E and Close All button.
Bad trades start to be stop out quickly... then I manage news with my Loss vs Equity.... and first I will hit B/E... try to maximize equity... I click Close All and so my Profit of the day must be green.
I haven't posted friday news, but I should have got around 15 pips

The M5 bar that closed at 15:30, a second before NFP release, was a sell signal for the EA, so the EA opened a short trade right into the up-move that immediately followed, fortunately with quite some slippage, otherwise the loss would have been up to 40 pips larger.
SL didn't work at first, because the price quickly had moved above the level on which the EA wanted to set the SL via OrderModify, so the EA was not able to set the stop, with the invalid stop message popping up all the time. So I had to intervene and manually close the trade.
To prevent this from happening again, from now on the EA will use an EA-internal SL additionally to the normal SL.
