Events assistant

6月10日

This script gives an ability to manually add events to your charts. There is no option to define events for different pairs. I trade only 2-3 pairs and it helps me a lot. It also draws vertical lines that separate trading period of your selection: daily, weekly and monthly. It is also possible to strictly define trading period. I use trading period every time during backtesting so it is easy to know when to start and when to finish. It also helps to remember that I already written down trading news during selected period.

This indicator provides an ability to show events at chart. The events are typed manually, date and time is also selected manually. I use it to show news at chart: at the end of every month check the news calendar → select only important ones → add them to the indicator.

Features included:

• Up to 9 events supported. This is sufficient for me because i use only NFP, CPI and IR.
  
• Trading period. You select daily, weekly, monthly or custom start and end of your trading period. I use it to do weekly retrospective at weekends: trading week is always visible at chart, no need to search when trading week started.
  
• Between dates. I use this feature when doing backtesting: enable replay mode → select trading period → do backtesting → end at the right line that shows end of the period.
  
• Outdated at. Shows a vertical line when events should be updated. This date and time should be selected manually. I select important news once a month → set this line to the next month → when price reaches this date and time, there are no events anymore → sync with the monthly news again → move this line to the next month.
  
• Candles offset. I avoid trading before and after news. This feature gives an ability to select a danger zone around every piece of news. Just select news timeframe, define width of the danger zone and you all set. This zone is selected in candles. Example: you trade M15, before candles is 2 (danger zone is 30 minutes before piece of news), after candles is 1 (danger zone is 15 minutes after piece of news).
  
• Skip past and/or future events. If there are some events with date and time outside the trading period, they can be hidden manually using this feature.
