News Panel for MetaTrader is a tool that displays economic calendar data within the MetaTrader trading platform. The tool pulls economic news and data releases from external sources, such as financial news websites or data providers, and displays them in an easy-to-read format.

The tool allows traders to filter news releases by source, time zone, impact level, currency, and notification method. It also includes a Refresh button that enables the user to manually update the data and ensure that they have the most current information available.

By providing traders with up-to-date economic calendar data, the tool can help them make informed trading decisions based on the latest news and economic data releases. Traders can use the tool to stay on top of important market-moving events and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
