First some words of explanation ...
__________________________

There are already quite a few very good news readers. And they can be used as any other good indicator/ea can. Yet a lot has changed in the last years for mt4 and it is giving us the opportunity to make some things in a different way, so I decided to make some experiments with that too
This news reader is doing that : making the whole thing a bit more user friendly and just a bit easier to use for normal every day trading
__________________________

The options are all the usual :

- number of events to be displayed (not written in the options but for practical reasons it is limited to minimum 7 and maximum 40)

- for how long should the even be displayed in the list of events

- alerts settings (alerts are not going to be triggered over and over when time frame or symbol are changed or when terminal is restarted)

- and some settings for colors and lines and "flags" display


And that is all. With one exception : indicator needs to have dll imports enabled. Without it, it can not read the news from the net and can not work (but you shall get a warning if you try to run it without dll imports enabled)

The rest is done using the buttons available in the indicator (the choice of events impact that will be displayed, currency(es), display of lines and "flags", alerts, ....). Just drag the mouse over the indicator area and you shall see an explanation for each button/option what it does. That way we are saving on parameters and making it visually clear what options are used currently by the indicator

__________________________

Some examples :
- Basic display (all defaults used)

- Only current symbol used

- And off course, the window is drag-able - once you place it somewhere, it will stay there till you place it to some other place on the chart or till you remove it

That would be all
Happy toying with this indicator
_____________________________

PS:
- Minimizing the window does not turn the indicator off. All the settings and choices are still valid (that were set using the button choices) and the indicator is working the same as if it was not minimized at all (except that it takes less space on the chart - like on the example)

PPS: alerts are working independently from display - you do not need to have the lines and "flags" displayed for alerts neither does the news reader need to be maximized - even when minimized the alerts are going to be triggered at their proper time

The buttons do not work. What could be the reason?

They are working as they are supposed to work - check again. There is no configuration that could cause the buttons not to work
If you are trying to press the "flags" (on the right side of the news main window on the example pictures), those are not buttons - those are "flags" and are not supposed to have any action when pressed on

Mladen,
You are always amazing. Your works are so neat and to the point. I have tried so many and they have limitations some how. This one is a treasure I can keep on my screen because it has everything I wanted. Thank you for your generous gift. JP

Great work !!!

Is this possible to provide .mq4 files? Downloading executable files is kind of dangerous these days.
Thanks.

Hello, mladen.


I will say too that buttons don't work, even the one that minimizes the window.
The button that closes the indi works fine.


Default settings, dll imports are allowed.

Sorry, no idea why.
Buttons have nothing in common with the dlls (dlls are needed only to download data).
If the close button works, then the minimize button must work too (since the code that handles those two is exactly the same), and those are simple standard metatrader buttons (like thousands of such buttons - I am not using metatrader windows classes for this indicator at all).

Try using it on a clean chart - just in case that some other indicator (or ea) on that same chart is trying to take over the chart for itself only.
Also, make sure not to use two or more instances on the same chart (that is not enabled in this version). In this version you can have only one news reader per chart
