MT4 News Indicator

MT4 News Indicator displays past and upcoming Forex economic calendar events directly on the chart, including scheduled release times and key event details within the platform.

Economic calendar data reflects scheduled macroeconomic releases and does not predict future market behavior. All information should be interpreted within a broader analytical context.

How to interpret and use the MT4 News Indicator

The indicator info panel contains all the necessary data on one chart. Displaying economic news directly in the trading terminal, it eliminates the need for the trader to search for the events on the Internet and allows users to focus on chart analysis without switching between external sources. The indicator always displays current data and is updated online. The news source is the well-known among traders forexfactory.com web-site.

MT4 News Indicator is a technical tool that helps monitor scheduled economic events within the platform. Therefore, for the convenience of its use, it is not overloaded with unnecessary information and contains only the most important data for structured analysis:

  • Day and Time: Day and time of a news event;
  • Symbol: The currency that will be affected by the publication of the economic data. The indicator displays news for each currency pair available on Forex market;
  • Name: Name of the report/event of the economic calendar. Upcoming events are displayed both in the information panel and on the chart in the form of a vertical line with a listing of the main data and in accordance with the news release time;
  • Impact: Assessment of the degree of importance of the event and its relative importance level of the event. The information panel displays 2 types of major economic events, the color and significance of which depends on the assessment of their importance: HIGH (Red) — high level of influence and MEDIUM (Orange) — medium level of influence;
  • Influence: The actual assessment of the impact of published data. The assessment is carried out according to 3 variants of the development of events: coincidence with the forecast (NO influence) (NO is also used for the events that are still expected), BETTER — the data turned out to be better than the forecast, and WORSE — the data turned out to be worse than expected;
  • Status: Shows the current status of the event: publication of the data is expected, or the event have already been published.

Another important point in terms of ease of use of the indicator is the location of the information panel in a separate window under the chart. This solution allows you to view the chart without interference and adjust the size of the indicator panel based on your personal preferences.

Economic calendar events are widely used in fundamental analysis within Forex markets and, in our opinion, the news indicator can be used as an additional analytical tool within a broader trading approach.
