Has anyone figured out a way to get economic news events automatically set as reminders on your computer so you don't have to manually set any of them. I'd also be interested in picking and choosing which news events I wanted reminders for.

I use outlook for all my reminders right now so my hope is there is a way to get some sort of auto import of those reminders into outlook. I just don't want to spend any time on things that can be automated.

Econoday offers a service you can buy that puts them on your Outlook calendar automatically.

I've never used it, so not sure if you can customize or not.

Thanks a million BF. Here are some prices they have for varying levels of reminder data. I'll probably get this unless someone knows of something else that is cheaper.

This brings up another question. If I want to find out the economic news as fast as possible, where or how do I get it?

you have to subscribe to Bloomberg or something like that.

but don't ever think that the speed of obtaining announcements will give you an edge in trading...

Not the most informative answer but I appreciate the effort.

Just curious, what makes you believe this idea?

Looking at the pricing, I would get the Market Moving Events for 19.95/mo. That should give you the events that have stars, which is typically the events you want to be aware of.

I don't know anyone that does anything like Econoday. They are very good at what they do and I reference it every morning. As you know, I'll trade before/during/after news (except oil inventory) so I just like to know what's going on and when. Some would probably use it to remind themselves when not to trade.

Hi Dinero,
I keep this indicator on atleast one of my active charts on Ninjatrader.
It pulls data from Forexfactory. We can set how many minutes in advance we want it to alert us.

I know you are on OEC right now, but this might help someone else.

If this is done via EasyLanguage it might transport into OEC.
