Hello everyone — happy new year!
I'm looking for an MT4 indicator or small EA that automatically writes a Global Variable when high-impact economic news is active.
Must-have features
MT4-compatible (.mq4 preferred, .ex4 accepted).
Writes a Global Variable (example name NEWS_BLOCK) so other EAs can read it via GlobalVariableGet("NEWS_BLOCK").
High-impact filtering required (option to ignore medium/low).
Configurable minutes before and after the news to block trading (e.g. block from 10 min before to 15 min after).
Option to choose which impact levels to block (High only, or High+Medium).
Works automatically (does not rely on manual AutoTrading toggles).
Light CPU footprint and robust timezone handling.
