Creating a new countdown indicator on the chart

[Runningbear]

Dear Esignal,

I always forget when major economic announcements are due so I had an idea for an esignal add-on that would solve this problem.

The idea is for a new add-on service that displays the time of a major announcement in the chart. So lets say an hour before a US interest rate announcement, I would see 'interest rate announcement 60 minutes'. This would appear above the last bar in the chart, so I would never have to look at a news feed. This would mean I would never miss a major decision and I could also view the effect of certain decisions on price action. This would be quite a revolutionary service that I'm sure would become a new standard within the industry. Anyone that needs news would pay for this.

Can you build it please.

Thanks,

Runningear

You're absolutely right, it is EXTREMELY useful to know when news events come out.

Enjoy!
