GREAT indicator! I have used this indicator daily for over a year. Ascendo is very responsive and open to suggestions! This indicator can also be used in strategy builder which is VERY useful for me. The ability to use forexfactory and myfxbook for news is also great. This indicator truly has it all and is very well thought out.
Great tool.keeps the chart nice and clean.Any communication has all ways been spot on with ascendo they are really helpful.
Very good idicator. I recommend it 100%. It has helped me to be able to see the relevant news directly on my chart without having to waste time looking for them on another site. It makes it much easier for you while trading.
Very useful this indicator. I would advise a pop-up window indicating the actual release and the bullish or bearish impact of the news.
This is a great handy tool to have on charts while you are trading as it saves you from looking somewhere else for the news during your trading. The only improvement I would advise is when the actual news event hits- the indicator doesn’t update. There should be a pop up that indicates the actual release and the impact ( bullish or bearish) of the news release right up on the screen as soon as the news hits the tape. That would make it a wonderful tool to use in real time trading during news events. Other than that- great add on to have on your charts.
The News Events indicator is terrific idea. I have always wanted notifications right on my chart to remind me of impending news that could potentially ruin my day if I become distracted. This indicator works great and doesn’t seem to waste computer resources. Stephane is on top of it if you need any help. He got back to me within a few minutes and corrected issues I had on my system immediately. Great find for me at a reasonable price.
