Economic Calendar-Trading Events

[blahblahblah]

Hi,

Does the NT8 language allow you to access upcoming trading calendar events? For example, Does NT8, allow you to see the following through code on the day of the annoucement:


-Unemployment Numbers
-Time of the announcement

before the announcement happens?


thanks for your help,

Welcome to the forums blahblahblah!

It is possible to subscribe to realtime News events if that information is offered from your data provider, but there is not any out of box functionality to fetch future calendar events.

NewsSubscription - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...bscription.htm

Data By Provider - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...y_provider.htm

NinjaScript is built upon C# however, so an approach could be taken to fetch that information using custom C# code so it can be presented on a chart or used within a script. For example, a script could use custom C# to download a calendar, and then parse that information so it can be used in your script. Taking such an approach is entirely possible, but we would not be able to provide support for custom C# applications and the approach will have to be developed on your own.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
