What is Cortex News AI?
Cortex News AI is a multi-symbol, news-driven Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5. It watches scheduled economic calendar releases — Non-Farm Payrolls, CPI, Interest Rate Decisions, GDP, Retail Sales, and dozens of other event types — across Gold and major currency pairs from a single chart attachment, and automatically positions around those releases once the outcome is known.
Key features:
- Multi-symbol — trade Gold and multiple currency pairs simultaneously from one EA instance
- Two entry styles — a pending-order straddle around each release, or immediate market entry once direction is confirmed (your choice)
- Professional on-chart dashboard — live win/loss stats, upcoming and active news, and the health status of every connected data source, at a glance
- Optional AI layer — connect Claude (Anthropic's AI) for an additional layer of market analysis on top of the core engine
- Optional secondary news source — connect Jblanked's independent news feed as a cross-check
- Built entirely for real trading conditions — every entry runs through margin, exposure, and broker minimum-distance checks before it's placed
Backtesting — Read This First
Cortex News AI is a genuine news-reaction bot — it makes its decisions the moment a real economic number is released. MetaTrader's Strategy Tester, by design, disables live internet and calendar access for every Expert Advisor on the platform (this is a MetaTrader limitation that applies to any news-based EA, not something specific to this product). That means the tester can't automatically feed it live news the way your real trading account does.
The fix: we've included a ready-made historical news file so you can backtest immediately, no setup beyond two steps.
Step 1 — Download the file Included with this product: link here or you can use your own news data
CortexNewsAI_Calendar.csv
Step 2 — Place it in your MetaTrader Common Files folder In MetaTrader 5: File → Open Data Folder. That opens your terminal's data folder. Go up one level to the Terminal folder, then open Common\Files . The full path typically looks like:
C:\Users\<YourWindowsUsername>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\Common\Files\
Drop CortexNewsAI_Calendar.csv into that folder.
Step 3 — Check the input In the EA's Inputs tab, find:
offlineCalendarFileName = CortexNewsAI_Calendar.csv
This is already the default — just confirm it matches the filename exactly.
- One more setting to check: csvUtcOffsetHours — the included file's timestamps are in UTC. Set this input to your broker's UTC offset so release times line up correctly with your broker's server time.
- How to find your broker's offset — free, no purchase needed: Use our free tool, FindBrokerGMTOffset, to identify your broker's server time in one click: https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/194878/
Run your backtest over the date range covered by the included file for real historical results.
Live and Demo Trading
No setup required. The moment you attach Cortex News AI to a live or demo chart, it automatically connects to MetaTrader's own built-in Economic Calendar and begins monitoring upcoming releases for every symbol you've configured — no file to download, no folder to manage. This is the difference from backtesting: live/demo trading has real-time access that the tester simply doesn't allow.
AI-Powered News Intelligence
Cortex News AI's core engine continuously monitors the economic calendar around the clock, identifying which upcoming releases matter for your configured symbols and preparing to act the moment each one prints — entirely automatically, with no manual monitoring required on your part.
Optional: Add an Independent Secondary News Source (Jblanked)
If you'd like a second, independent news feed cross-checking the primary calendar, Cortex News AI has built-in support for Jblanked's news platform.
To enable it:
- Get a free API key at jblanked.com
- Paste your key into the input: externalApiKey
- Set useExternalCalendar = true

Optional: Add Claude AI Analysis
For an extra layer of AI-driven market analysis on top of the core engine, Cortex News AI supports connecting Claude, Anthropic's AI model.
To enable it:
- Create an account and API key at console.anthropic.com
- Paste your key into the input: claudeApiKey
- Set useClaudeAnalysis = true
📖 Full step-by-step guide to getting your Claude API key: LINK HERE
Note: both of these are optional add-ons billed directly by their respective providers (Jblanked/Anthropic) — Cortex News AI's core functionality works fully without either one.
