Hello SWEET PIP, I just wanna ask you if you used to trade taking into account the news indicators, I am new and I want to know what is the way to combine this king of indicators with the technical analysis, I really don�t know how this news indicators can affect the market and how can be interpreted, so if you know about it or you have useful info Ill be very thankful.

Hi,
Basically I just use it to check for when news comes out to avoid trading to close before it’s release. Saves me from having to remember to check any website calendars before placing a trade. I don’t really pay attention to what the news is, because I’ll follow the reaction after it’s released.

sweet pip…for one reason or another the indicator doesn’t seem to work. i do the same as all my other indicators and when i restart and add it to my chart nothing happens. i am looking for the one that displays in the upper left how much time until the next news event and how long since the last one. is ffcal the same indicator? thanks again. :smiley:

Try going into the parameters and making sure the “allow dll” is check marked…that’s usually the problem. Otherwise it does as you say, and you can move it to 1 of 3 corners to keep it out of the way.

[B]Sweet Pip, thanks for your help, it really makes sense for me now, that is a good strategy to follow the reaction after it released. Anyway, do you know any good calendar to check; although you don�t use it frequently do you have a favorite one?, I just wanna try� [/B]:slight_smile:

Hi,
The one that this indicator uses is from forexfactory, but babypips has one too under “tools”, …they’re all about the same.

Hi, Sweep pips thanks again for the guidance, good info I will try to read about it cause I�m interested in learning the coherence between the news and the market movement to complement the analysis in a future. I�m sorry if I bother you with such questions, I hope to help others when I be an expert. :stuck_out_tongue:

you can find events in lots of websites but I�m sure in the platform you are using there are also options to find events. If you don�t find, check another broker and I�m sure you�ll find. Gabby
