does anyone know if there's some kind of economic news indicator? I'm looking for something like this or this that gives a quick title and time of the event.
 
Funny that you should ask :)

I recently had a meeting with a firm that provides a plethora of market info, and am writing the first lines of code to turn that into a Study for MW.
The idea is to have the ability to plot (vertical) lines on a chart where news will happen / happened, with a small symbol at the top / bottom.
By hovering the mouse over the symbol, you would get the info, updated soon after the event.

Since the data does not come for free, it would become a paying Study, probably a monthly subscription.
There will probably be different packages:
  • only market news (Stock news, press releases, interest rate decisions, ...)
  • an extra package for Stock fundamentals (financial statements, balance statements, key metrics, scores, ...)
  • another package for Company Information (market capitalisation, company core info, ...)
No worries: I negotiated pretty good conditions, so it won't be too expensive ;)

This is work in progress, so patience will -once again- prove to be a virtue (y)
 
oh nice! Was thinking of something exactly like that.. i found a few services and apis that offer something free so I may make something as a free lite alternative.. just wanted to see if there was anything existing before making something

Actually, yes: this got snowed under a bit this Spring, since so many of you want a Study custom-coded :D

That is at the same time good AND bad news: good, because it puts food on my table, but also bad, because my (personal) side-projects become a non-priority.


Perhaps later this summer ?

I have created one and now just working out the kinks. It doesn't reflect AM/PM correctly. but will highlight candles pre-news event (in this example i user inputted 10 minutes so it highlights 10 minutes pre event.)
 
oh wow - very cool ! that pre news highlighting is such a great touch !

Just wanted to follow up on this. Anyway, you can share your study or inform me how you implemented this. Thank you.

I had one made that pulled the data off of forex factory, but it stopped working in version 6 fro some reason. I never paid to have it updates.
 
I had it made by someone else so all I have is the .jar file. Unfortunately I don't have the ability to update it. If someone knows how to edit a jar file, they welcome to make it work. I attached it below. If you can make it work, please re-post so I can use it alsoEconomic News.png

You can also adjust it to show world news. I had it set to U.S. news only this screenshot from a long time ago.
I attached the file below.
