Every release, already on the chart.
Economic releases move markets on a schedule that is known in advance. SidiEconomicCalendar puts that schedule into the chart itself: vertical lines at the release time, coloured by impact, filtered by the countries you trade.
What it puts on your chart
The release calendar is the one piece of market information that is known in advance and still regularly catches people out. Not because it is hard to find, but because it lives in a browser tab, in a different time zone, next to fifty releases from countries that have nothing to do with the contract on the screen.
SidiEconomicCalendar moves it into the chart. Each release you care about becomes a vertical line at its scheduled time, in the colour of its impact level, labelled in your date and time format. The end of the session gets its own line. What appears is decided by filters you set once: which countries, which impact levels, and whether you want the whole week, only what is still ahead, or only what has already happened.
Alongside the chart lines, the calendar window shows the week as a grid with forecast and previous values, and the export tab writes the event data out as JSON for any date range. The 107 settings of version 3.8.0.0 are mostly filters and appearance, because a calendar on a chart is only useful for as long as it stays selective.
A line where the release happens
Every release becomes a vertical line at its scheduled time, in the colour of its impact level. One switch decides what is shown at all: every event of the current week, only the ones still ahead, only the ones already past, or none. A second line marks the end of the trading session, built the same way, with its own colour, style and label.
The whole week, filterable
Next to the chart lines sits the calendar window itself. It lists the week by day and time with country, impact, the forecast and the previous reading, and it filters down to what you actually trade. Nine country settings and seven impact settings decide both what the window shows and what reaches the chart.
The data, in a file
The event data does not stay locked inside the indicator. Pick a date range and export it as JSON, which is what you want when you are checking how an instrument behaved around a particular release, or when the calendar has to feed something outside NinjaTrader.
What you can change.

You decide what reaches the chart
A calendar that shows every release from every country is noise on a futures chart. The filters are the point of the tool, and they apply to the chart lines and to the calendar window alike.
Filters
- Countries you care about
- Impact level, with its own colour each
- Visibility: whole week, upcoming only, past only, or off
- Session end line, on or off
Appearance
- Colour per impact level
- Line style and opacity
- Label with own font, size and colour
- Own date and time format
- Session line styled independently
- Drawing order against other indicators
Change it while the market runs
SidiEconomicCalendar has its own Realtime Settings window, opened from a button in the chart toolbar, and it carries more toolbar settings than the other tools because the calendar is opened from there. Filters, colours, line styles and the visibility mode change in the chart as you set them, and the window saves, loads and resets complete presets from its bottom bar.
A few fields change what is calculated rather than how it is drawn, and those still ask for a chart reload (F5). Everything visual answers immediately.
