Generic indicator that graphs data into line chart

Hi folks, I just want to ask if you know of any free and generic Metatrader indicator or script that would let me chart/graph anything? (wherein it gets its data source from a .csv file that I can manually update).

I am thinking of putting some economic data into my charts so that I could study price movements against these economic data. I am happy to manually update this .csv data myself which I could place anywhere inside my Metatrader program folder.

Thanks very much for any help.

Hello,

I moved your post to this thread thinking if you want to add economic data into your charts to comprare with price behaviour you could use the News EA.

 

Look at this thread: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/177102 (you can use my forex calndar, or create yours, make it public or commercial, use it as indicator to the chart or trade it as an EA).

Thanks Linuxuser and newdigital for that, but I am thinking of having previous and recent economic data (e.g. CPI) in line chart so that I could visually see the price movements against those economic data. I am happy to update manually the .csv file that contains CPI data.

I hope I was able to explain myself clearly.

Thanks very much guys!

 

News indicator can plot recent and past economic data on the chart in the way of lines with/without text separated/filtered by pairs/rating (impact) and so on.

It can be past data as well.

And file is uploading automatically in text format in Metatrader's directory.

As I know it is drawing horizontal lines so you can backtest the news events. Besides it is the text on the chart as name of the news. Without value (without data on the chart).
