How the Forex Factory News Notifier Works
Required WebRequest URL
MetaTrader requires permission for the notifier to access its economic calendar data source. Add the following address to the WebRequest allowed URLs:
In MetaTrader, go to the Expert Advisors settings and enable WebRequest for the URL above.
Receive Forex News Alerts on Your Phone
The notifier can use MetaTrader’s built-in push notification system to send an alert to your mobile phone. This allows you to receive important scheduled news notifications even when you are not watching the trading chart.
To use mobile notifications, make sure MetaTrader push notifications are properly configured and enabled on your mobile device.
This Is a News Notifier, Not a Trading Robot
The Forex Factory News Notifier does not analyze the market, generate trading signals, or automatically execute trades.
Its purpose is simple: provide advance awareness of scheduled economic events so traders can take those events into account when managing their own trading activity.
