This indicator creates a text box with upcoming economic events to alert the trader of possible market moving announcements.
In this screenshot, taken on 15:56 local time (Western-Europe), you can see that Geithner was about to speak in 4 minutes (a Medium impact event) and the American business inventories were also announced in four minutes.
Most of the settings are self-explanatory. The 'TicksOffSetBottom' is the number of ticks you want the text box be displayed above the lowest value on the price scale. The 'RecalcAfter' is the number of seconds the box is updated - this is included to prevent excessive updating from MultiCharts to keep everything running smoothing.
Important note: you'll need the Economic Events Collection for MultiCharts (found here and see this thread) to use this indicator.
Changelog
v1.01 - February 15th, 2012
There was a logarithmic error in the original version published on February 14th, which would trigger a "Logarithmic error" pop-up message when the remaining minutes for an economic event was 0 minutes. This error is fixed now and the new version attached to this post.
My sincere apologies for this inconvenience.
