News Guard

News Guard puts the economic calendar on your chart: the upcoming releases for the currencies you trade, their impact, a countdown and an alert before each one. It can also protect the account around high-impact news.

Main features

  • News panel for the currencies of the chart symbol, or for your own list of currencies: date, currency, impact, title and countdown.
  • Vertical lines on the chart at the time of each release, coloured by impact.
  • Alerts a chosen number of minutes before a release, as a popup and as a push notification.
  • Protection window around high-impact news: optionally closes positions and deletes pending orders of the symbol or of the whole account just before the release.
  • Signal for other Expert Advisors: the terminal global variable NewsGuard_SYMBOL equals 1 during a news window.
  • Uses the calendar built into MetaTrader 5: no web request, no external file.

Inputs

Currencies (empty = currencies of the symbol), minimum impact, look-ahead in hours, number of lines, vertical lines, computer or server time, panel position, alert delay, push notification, action at the start of the protection window, minutes before and after, maximum slippage.

The MetaTrader calendar is not available in the Strategy Tester, so the panel must be tried on a live chart (demo or real account). By default the tool only displays and alerts; closing trades is an option you have to enable.

Visual Risk Manager Panel is a trade panel for MetaTrader 5 that puts risk first.
