How it works
With this indicator, all upcoming and relevant events can be stored. A countdown to the next event is displayed in the lower left corner of the chart. Vertical lines mark past events of the current day. As the event approaches, the font color and size change to signal an imminent event. Additionally, an ATAS alert can be sent.
