****** ****** *** *** *** *** ***


Completely revamped the news alert app into something much more powerful, that integrates with MT4; (old, deprecated news app version 1, can be found here).

It's now a price portal that streams live candle price data and disseminates it into various handy tools like graphs, heat maps and pie charts, to compliment any existing system you use. There's a refined widget that takes up minimal screen space, so you can attach it your terminal to receive news alerts and/or RSS feed alerts for forum posts or breaking news.

I'm looking for testers to offer feedback on the following:

  1. installs okay, especially on pesky Win8+ operating systems
  2. data is streamed okay from your MT4 terminal.

If you're interested in testing the software, please visit FXNewsAlert, (instructions at the bottom of the homepage)

I look forward to any feedback, thanks in advance.

Calendar

News is presented in such a way so you can easily see upcoming events and their impact is colour coded; today's events are highlighted in blue.

You can access the widget in the blue toolbar and also view a sortable calendar, so you can click the columns to filter the events for further analysis.

News alerts are configured inside the widget and you can choose an RSS feed that runs in tandem with the news alert. Audible alarms are different depending if it's an event or a new RSS feed.

Strength

Currency strength/weakness can be visualised with the pie-chart tool.

This tallies each symbols momentum and calculates the average for each base/quote currency pair.

Line graph

Momentum can also be viewed with the line-graph tool.

Momentum is compared for each candle for all symbols from a common start point, which can be changed with the slider.

It can be useful to identify hyper-extended pairs with large momentums compared to other more passive pairs, which ordinarily will revert back to their median.

Raw data

Finally, there's a tool to view all symbols bid price and their corresponding momentum for all timeframes.

There's an option to view this data as a heat map, which highlights bid/offer sentiment.

To the right shows ADR columns; this can be configured with the MT4 indy and is set at 10 days by default.

The data can be sorted by clicking the column headers so you can sort by daily pips for example and quickly see which pairs have the smallest/largest gains.

Hello!
Thank you for excellent work you've done. Masterpiece on software development really!
What I would like to add to a news data feed is Dow Jones blue chips company reports schedule. Schedule of Money Auctions for EU zone would be good too.
They are all market movers, so would be useful to be alarmed of.
Thank you once again!

That sounds like an app within an app

Where would i get all this info?

The reason i use FF is because they offer an excellent calendar (the best on the web imho) and their forums are vibrant - they then make this easily available with XML's so if you can point me to an XML that provides the information you request, i'll have a mooch.

The app grabs news separately from MT4.

If i was to do as you requested, i'd have to parse news info from the app back to MT4 and then an indicator would have to be placed on each chart to be able to draw a line, which becomes overkill when the widget serves the same purpose by sounding an audible alarm before news occurs. I pin the widget to the top of MT4, so i can see news regardless of which chart i'm using, but usually have it set to RSS feeds and it sounds an alarm in the background when news is coming.

Found this MT4 indy, which may float your boat, but i haven't tried it so can't comment on its validity.
