🚀 KEY FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎨 Six Color-Coded States
The panel progresses automatically as each event approaches:
⚪ DISTANT — grey, more than 7 days out
🔵 UPCOMING — blue, 1 to 7 days away
🟠 DAY OF — orange, release day
🟡 APPROACHING — gold, 2 hours out
🔴 LIVE — red, ±30 minutes
⚫ SETTLING — slate, post-release
⭐ Major-Event Prioritization
Fed rate decisions, Non-Farm Payrolls, CPI, Core PCE, PPI, Retail Sales, GDP, and major central-bank rate decisions (ECB, BoE, BoJ) are kept on the main panel even when lesser events are closer in time. Toggle on or off with one input.
📊 Post-Release Results
Once a number publishes, the panel shows actual versus forecast with a plain-language tag: "As Expected", "Slightly Hotter", "Hotter Than Expected", "Much Softer", and so on.
📅 Next 3 Events List
An optional mini-list below the main panel shows the next three upcoming major events with day of the week, date, and time.
📍 Seven Position Presets
Top-left, top-right, top-center, left-middle, bottom-left, bottom-right, bottom-center.

🔔 NOTIFICATIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Get alerted when events reach specific states — no need to watch the chart.
Three channels (any combination can be enabled):
💻 MT5 Alert popup — in-terminal pop-up window
🔊 Sound file — custom .wav from your MT5\Sounds\ folder
📱 Mobile push — via the MetaTrader 5 mobile app (MetaQuotes ID)
Four trigger modes (InpAlertMode):
- OFF — no alerts
- LIVE only — fires once per event when it enters the ±30 minute window
- APPROACHING + LIVE — fires 2 hours out and again at LIVE
- ALL state changes — fires on every progression
✅ Deduplication — one alert per event per state. Reloading the chart or restarting the terminal will not re-fire past alerts.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ FILTERS

- Impact: HIGH only, HIGH + MEDIUM (default), or ALL events
