This is the one I have, there may be a newer version if you go to BigMikeTrading.com, not really sure. This pulls the calendar from Forex Factory. 1) Put the EconomicEventsDisplay.dll in your SierraChart/data folder 2) Unzip the EconomicEventsDownloader_v5.1 to a directory of your choosing (must unzip for it to work) 3) Go into the extracted EconomicEventsDownloader_v5.1_executable folder and double click the jar file 4) This will create 2 txt files, future and historical 5) Update the txt files daily/weekly to make sure you have the latest calendar. The calendar can change, so I wouldn't go out two months without updating 6) Open SierraChart>>F6>>Add Custom Study>>Economic Events Display 7) Point to either the future txt file or historical txt file, if you want to see both at same time, then add two Economic Events Display studies to your chart and point to both files 8) Change the time difference for your time zone to match the Forex Factory news calendar 9) Change the other settings as desired 10) If you want a pre-warning, then add another study to your chart and set the time so it pops up an hour earlier and change the arrow/texts colors so you can see the difference Sorry, but I don't know how to create an audible alert for advanced warning, e.g. 5 minutes before.
