Summary

This document describes a ProRealTime indicator that displays an economic news calendar, with filters for dates, event impact, and country or region. Users can choose to show events from the current date onward or define a date range, adjust the display density, and set a UTC offset so event times align with their region. Multiple monthly indicator instances can be enabled or disabled as needed.

The author recommends a daily chart and explains display and chart-linking settings. The calendar data is scraped from the internet, then formatted for the platform, so the author does not guarantee that event details or timestamps are accurate. The indicator is presented as a personal-use tool with no warranty, and ongoing updates depend on the author’s time and community interest. It provides no trading strategy, performance evidence, or independent data validation.

Key ideas

  • The indicator filters calendar events by date, impact level, and country or region.
  • A UTC setting adjusts event times to the user’s local region.
  • Display settings control how many rows appear and how tightly they are spaced.
  • The calendar relies on scraped data, so event details and timestamps may be inaccurate.
