Introduction: News are the daily fuel for fear and greed in our lives. They determine how we plan for our future and anticipate our fortunes or peril. In the world of forex trading, the informed are always safe, as they navigate through the market's turbulent waves with foresight and precision.

The forex market is indeed a beast, fueled by nothing other than fear and greed. It represents the true nature of human behavior—a competitive jungle where the fittest not only survive but thrive. It's a chamber of fortunes and pain, married to one another like yin and yang.

The Role of News in Forex: News promotes behaviors of fear and greed, which in turn drives chaos and volatility in the forex market. 🌪️ It is news that causes irrational market behavior and it is news that causes the markets to trend. Without news, there would be no volatility, which attracts investors; no greed that causes buying; and no fear that causes selling. Markets would likely stagger and stagnate for long periods, losing their allure as opportunity makers.

The MQL5 Economic Calendar: News that affects the forex market is collected within the Economic calendar. For algorithmic traders, reliable and timely news is paramount. This is where MQL5's economic calendar excels. Unlike external data feeds, MQL5's calendar integrates seamlessly with the MetaTrader platform, ensuring a direct update channel for economic event updates.

This eliminates the need for external data feeds and minimizes latency, allowing your EA to respond to market shifts triggered by data releases with near-instantaneous precision. 🕒

MQL5 Functions: Moreover, MQL5’s economic calendar offers a dedicated set of functions specifically designed for EAs. These functions are a game-changer, allowing you to efficiently query upcoming events, filter by specific data types (like interest rates or employment figures), and extract crucial details like release time and forecast values. This streamlined approach simplifies your workflow, ensuring your EA's focus on analysis and trade execution rather than cumbersome data parsing.

Security and Integrity: By relying solely on MQL5's internal calendar, you also eliminate the potential security risks associated with external data sources. Third-party websites can be susceptible to hacking or manipulation, which could introduce errors or misleading information into your EA's decision-making process. MQL5's secure environment mitigates these risks, ensuring the integrity of the data your EA uses. 🔒

Developing a News Filter: In this course, we will start by creating a news filter to reduce the risk of radical volatility caused by news releases, especially for mean reversion strategies which can suffer great losses in biased markets. We will learn how to get past economic data, future economic data, and access particular elements like news values from the data.

Coding & Testing Strategies: We will then code a script that collects past news data and stores it into a csv file. This is followed by coding an expert advisor (EA) that takes data from the stored news csv file and enters trades based on it in the strategy tester. This allows us to test our trading ideas and strategies based on news events using the Metatrader strategy tester.

Finally, we will adapt our tested strategy to live market trading, so it can be implemented for real-time news events. 📈

Who is this course for? For those who have a grasp of MQL5 basics, this course is your stepping stone to advanced strategy development. We will guide you through every step of the process and explain every line of code we craft. By the end of this journey, you'll be equipped with the skills to code similar trading strategies and gain a deeper appreciation for how manipulating News data can refine your strategies.
