Calendar Dashboard: On-chart MT5 economic calendar delivering impact-coded news and timing

Performance metrics for Calendar Dashboard center on its impact to execution and decision quality rather than standalone returns. Typical win rate improvements observed by users range from a 3 to 8 percentage point lift in sample periods when traders avoid or size down positions before high-impact events. Drawdown management benefits from fewer surprise volatility losses because traders receive advance, color-coded warnings. Trade frequency is unaffected by the indicator itself; it simply informs timing for existing strategies and is used across scalping, day trading, and swing setups. Account requirements are minimal since Calendar Dashboard is an indicator only; it runs on standard MT5 demo or live accounts with low CPU overhead. Timeframe considerations favor intraday charts from M1 to H4 where news timing and immediate price reaction matter most. Backtests should be run with event-aware filters to quantify changes in slippage and trade outcomes.
