- If true, the EA will print a comment in the bottom right corner of the chart displaying the following:
Server time and GMT time of the next news release
Level of next news release, ie High impact/ Medium impact or Low impact
Symbol the next news release will impact, for example USD
Name of the next news release, for example FOMC
The print should be a single line of text. Here is an example of how it should look:

Draw lines at news events: true/false
If "Draw lines at news events" is set to true, the EA will draw vertical lines at the time of future news releases. The lines must stay on the chart after the news release has happened also if the terminal is closed and opened again.
- The EA will only draw lines for the news releases the user wants to stop trading during. For example if the user only wants to stop trading during high and medium impact news, then no lines will be drawn for low impact news.
- The lines should be color coded.
Color, width, and style of the lines should be adjustable from the menu.
Default settings will be:
High impact news: clrRed, width:1, style:dotted
Medium impact news: clrYellow, width:1, style:dotted
Low impact news: clrGreen, width:1, style:dotted
The EA will still manage open positions during the news. For example, if a position is open that was opened before the news release the EA will still update trailing stop and break even functions etc of that position.
