Hey MATT and STEVE.. is there any way you guys could add fed
speakers dates and times to the economic news section? I think we
could all agree they definitely move the markets with big trading
impact. Thanks for all the hard work on the newsletters though.
Great info as always.
brophy don't be afraid to post links here, you had trouble in
the past understanding how to make a clickable URL but that's all
gone, you can just post the URL directly and it works, has for a
long time now -URL's automatically get converted to clickable
URL's
Forex Factory - I used to use this site back in the day when I
day traded futures such as the Eurostoxx 50, Gold, ES, and other
futures - because when you day trade for a few points/scalps - you
wanted to avoid being in a trade during news items because you
would get volatility on those news items, here's the URL. Futures
markets can react suddenly not to just US news
in fact - I had a nifty indicator in Ninja Trader that would
display those forex factory news items right on the chart in text -
I'd have that chart open with my other futures charts when I was
trading, was very handy having it on a small chart where I was
closely monitoring other charts for trades, much better than having
a large webpage.
I don't think the guy sells or offers the indicator anymore, I
really loved how it would pull the news headlines from forex
factory, too bad
ha - I found an example I posted years ago - here's a chart -
notice how it displayed the news headines on the chart, along with
a countdown timer to the next news - that countdown timer was nice
because when scalping futures allowed you to really time your exits
to be out before the news
we might be able to create something custom for that on
Tradestation or IDK what might be cool on this trading community,
depending on how wide you have the browser, you will have large
white boarders space on the left and right side - we might be able
to have the news items pop on the side. The
countdown timerthat was in the chart was what I really
liked because when I saw there was 5 min to a major news item it
alerted me to look to get out of my trade, or not take a new
trade
Brophy - yes looks like you created your own in Google Calendar
that's cool. Try and see if you can add a countdown timer, that's
what I really found useful, I'm sure that could be coded in the
spreadsheet.
anyway back to market
on the market I read earlier that we have 4 Fed gov's speaking
today? with market very oversold, it's in a state that it could pop
if they say something that the market likes, could go other way to
but it is oversold

A countdown would be fun. I think we get a short covering rally here. Everybody's been getting short for awhile.

A countdown would be cool I used Trade the News but could not justify the cost for me
