From this comment, newdigital, provide a good list of possible improvements for calendar/news :

• can not sort the news events by high priority/ low priority and medium priority
• can not define the events by priority
• can not sort them by pairs
• can not see USD only, or EUR only for example
• can not estimate the priority by myself
• can not see horizontal lines on the chart where news events will be happened
• can not see the discription of those lines
• can not see the time of my broker compare with GMT time
• can not trade the news events by good public EA (on the same way as I can do it for MT4 for example)
• visualization ... i am sorry but it is nothing with MT5 for now about what the trader can expect

If you have some others ideas, you can post to this topic.

MQL and news in the terminal

Renat Fatkhullin, 2017.03.16 23:10

We will incorporate new realtime economic calendar soon with minimal latency and with access from MQL5. First, we open the calendar on www.mql5.com, and then only we will incorporate it (our own development, calendar updates with millisecond latency) in MT5 terminal.

It is too early to do with the news so. Because the usage of the news does not make sense without minimal latency.

Economic Calendar: already available on MQL5.com, coming soon in MetaTrader 5
