🛡 Why NewsFilter Pro?
Most trading EAs get destroyed during news events — NFP, FOMC, CPI, ECB — when spreads widen 10x and price gaps through stop losses. NewsFilter Pro runs alongside any EA and acts as a protective shield, preventing new trades during dangerous news windows. Essential for prop firm traders who must avoid rule violations caused by news-driven volatility.
🔹 Key Features
🔹 MQL5 Economic Calendar Integration — Uses MetaTrader 5's built-in calendar functions. No external API, no DLL, no WebRequest configuration. Works out of the box with zero setup.
🔹 Smart Currency Filtering — Only filters news relevant to your trading pair. Trading EURUSD? Only EUR and USD news trigger the filter. No false blocks from unrelated events like AUD employment data.
🔹 Configurable Impact Levels — Filter HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW impact events independently. Default: HIGH only (the most dangerous — NFP, FOMC, CPI, rate decisions).
🔹 Custom Time Windows — Set how many minutes BEFORE and AFTER each news event trading is blocked. Default: 30 min before / 15 min after. Fully customizable.
🔹 Prop Firm Presets — One-click presets for FTMO, MyForexFunds, FundedNext, and other prop firms. FTMO preset: 30 min before/after high-impact news — exactly what funded account rules require.
🔹 Auto Close Positions Before News — Optionally close existing positions minutes before a news release to avoid gap risk. Protects running trades from flash crashes and spread widening.
🔹 News Alerts & Push Notifications — Get alerts and push notifications before high-impact news events. Never be caught off guard by NFP, CPI, or FOMC announcements.
🔹 Professional Dashboard — Clean dark-themed panel showing: filter status, next event countdown, today's news list, blocked currencies, and statistics.
🔹 Bilingual — Full English and Chinese interface. Switch with one parameter — no restart needed.
🔹 Universal Compatibility — Works with any trading EA, any currency pair, any timeframe, any broker. No account restrictions. Runs silently alongside your existing strategy.
