SIDI EconomicCalendar

Your Economic News Tool for NinjaTrader

SidiEconomicCalendar: Your NinjaTrader add-on for displaying and filtering economic news. Use flexible filters, alerts, a customizable interface, export data for backtesting, and access historical data spanning many years.
The SidiEconomicCalendar is a powerful add-on for NinjaTrader that helps you efficiently track economic news and integrate it into your trading strategy. Display and filter news by countries (e.g., USA, Eurozone, Japan), impact levels (low, medium, high), or economic relevance to see only the events relevant to you.

Export the news to a JSON file to use it in other tools like the “Sentinel” add-on for automated backtesting with news data. The interface is highly customizable: adjust colors, fonts, date and time formats, and window position to suit your needs. The SidiEconomicCalendar is fed by its own data server, which provides access to historical data spanning many years, allowing you to analyze past events. Whether you want to track current news, examine historical data, or export data for backtesting – the SidiEconomicCalendar provides you with the tools for informed trading decisions.

Profits and losses resulting from the videos always refer to past actions and therefore do not guarantee future profits. Financial markets are constantly evolving and changing, and trading decisions must be continually adjusted accordingly. Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
