What it does on your chart
- A dot on the candle 15 or 30 minutes before the news. Red = high, orange = medium, yellow = low, grey = holiday.
- A tiny name next to it (CPI, FOMC, NFP…). Hover the dot to see the time.
- A shaded window from 5 minutes before to 15 minutes after the news. You can change both.
- A News Warning alert you can turn on in TradingView.
- The dot, the name and the shade go away when price closes past the dot.
- It does not stop signals or trades. It warns you. You decide.
