I don't give a damn about news lol but I know a lot of you do, so I'll back you guys up with my vote

Thanks for the support!

I believe that this request is due to several prop firms prohibit traders to open new order during certain period of time before and after high impact news. Better be safe than violating funded accounts (which take months to get one).

Found some tutorial re calendar/news on mql5.com.

I second the initiatives too.

Would be nice if we can configure

1. What news impact to trade (or not trade) i.e. high, med, low impact
2. News related to the currencies or commodities(if any)
3. EA shut down/suspend period ( x-minutes before and x-minutes after the news )
4. Option to either
   a) close active trade
   b) trade as usual
   c) suspend trade activities
