There is a much better news indicator available that automatically downloads the news items. Please use that one.
I always forget to stand aside for news so I wrote this little indicator to remind me. It draws a vertical line and plays a wav file. You can set up to 10 times, so you can set it for example 10 minutes before the news and 10 minutes after (Time0 & Time1 for the first news alert). This lets you have 10 single news alerts or 5 news items with start and stop alerts. Leave any times you don't need set to 0 and they're ignored.
I have 1 idea for enhancement: Download the day's news releases from the internet automatically. This is at the edge of my Ninjatrader programming ability but if someone is interested in helping I can provide code to download a web page via HTTP. Parsing it is the problem.
I use these news sites:
https://www.fxstreet.com/economic-calendar
https://www.econoday.combyweek.asp?cust=mam
https://www.forexfactory.com/index.php
Please give me your feedback, this is my 2nd indicator this weekend. If you guys like it I'll try to make more.
COMPATIBILITY:
NinjaTrader 6.5: YES
