News Filter — High-Impact News Auto-Pause for Your EAs
Automatically silences your EAs around high-impact events.
News Filter is a utility built on the MT5 economic calendar. It marks upcoming high-impact events, counts down to the next one, raises a flag your own EAs can read to pause during the window, and can close positions for you.
What it does
- ✓Vertical markers for upcoming events, color-coded by importance
- ✓Countdown to the next event with currency and importance
- ✓Pause flag (Global Variable FXEA_NEWS_PAUSE) for your own EAs
- ✓Optionally close positions during the window (all/current, magic)
- ✓Pre-alert via push/email/webhook before the window starts
- ✓Configurable currencies, minimum importance, before/after minutes
