I can see the message indicator on the Xard chart. I had a problem with my reader, it stopped working, I found another. Cool news reader made by mladen's.
Original description written by mladen's:
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)
- Display extended to 25 events
- Display extended to 25 events and display of lines and "flags" turned on
- 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
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
That would be all
Happy toying with this indicator
