Most news filters depend on a single feed. When that feed changes its format or goes offline, the filter silently stops protecting the account, often on the exact day a major release moves the market. Built for the strict news rules of FTMO, The Funded Trader, MyFundedFX and FundedNext.

News Filter Multi-Source reads more than one independent source at once, merges them and removes duplicates, so the filter keeps working when one source fails. It pauses new orders from a set number of minutes before to a set number of minutes after each event, and only for the currencies that actually affect your chart.

Compatible with MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, sold as separate products on the Market, so get the version that matches your terminal. Works on any symbol and any timeframe.

On MetaTrader 5 it combines the native economic calendar with the ForexFactory feed out of the box, with no account and no API key. On MetaTrader 4 it uses the ForexFactory feed and accepts any extra JSON calendar you add. The current state is published into a GlobalVariable that any other Expert in the terminal can read with one line of MQL, plus optional per-currency flags.

Key Features

• Multi-source: native MetaTrader 5 calendar plus ForexFactory, merged and de-duplicated.

• Automatic fallback: if one source is down, the others keep the filter running.

• Currency-aware: only pauses pairs whose currency is affected by the event.

• Configurable window: pause from N minutes before to N minutes after each event.

• Impact filter: high-impact by default, medium optional.

• Passive by default, with optional close positions and cancel pending orders.

• On-chart panel: status, next event, countdown and the active sources.

• Cross-EA flag via GlobalVariable, plus optional per-currency flags.

• Automatic UTC and broker time handling, with European and United States DST.

Ideal For

• Prop firm accounts with strict no-trading-around-news rules.

• Portfolio managers who need one news gate for several Experts.

• Anyone burned by a single news feed that quietly stopped working.
