QuantXi News Radar

🎯 Never get caught off-guard by a news release again.

QuantXi News Radar is an on-chart panel that tracks upcoming high-impact economic events and shows their progression through six color-coded states — from days ahead, through the live release window, to the post-release result.

Powered by MT5's native Economic Calendar. No external API, no internet permission, no additional setup.

🚀 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

- Currency: any CSV combination (default "USD"; example "USD,EUR,GBP,JPY")

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🧪 TEST MODE
