I have no idea, what you are talking about, as I do not use this indicator. Best you show me a screenshot and explain it. What means blocked out, do you want to highlight the news 5 min prior to the event?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Yes, a pic could help sorry...see the pink vertical bands, those were set at 5 minutes each side of the news and then the red dashed vertical line in the middle was the exact news time. 2011-03-30_0530 - GregHohman's library

Looked at the chart, but did not see any trace of the news plugin.
Why don't you use the standalone version https://johnthom.blogspot.com/, it isn't resource intensive and indipendent from NT, instead of using graphical reminders on your charts you can be advised via sound
Took a look at it and for me, I really need it on my charts as that is where I trade from. Found it SO helpful to have it visually block it out as noted. Please?

FT,
My older jtEcoNews2 gives a message that no object found. I downloaded and imported the above version you posted but will not show up on the indicator drop down list (it shows up on the .cs files). Any idea?
Thanks a bunch.
Regards.

it's probably under "EconomicNews" in the indicator drop down list.
you can change the name to whatever you want. attached a pic where to change it.
Thanks Silvester17, that was the trick. Although, it does not seem to be stable and does funky things, i.e. a couple of indicators and the horizontal grid went blank on the chart when I attached the EcoNews the first couple of times. This time it worked but oh well, this is not the first time having issues with EcoNews indi.
