Lite marks today’s High and Medium impact events with flags and optional guide lines. PRO filters events by impact level and by currency — Auto-by-Instrument works out which currencies affect your chart, or you can name them yourself — and shows the whole current week instead of just today. It adds live countdowns, a popout Events Table, configurable audio and visual alerts, and blackout windows exposed as NinjaScript series so strategies can pause around news. PRO requires NinjaTrader 8.1 or later and does not work on Rithmic accounts. The free Lite pack does not have that limit.

No. News Markers PRO does not work on accounts that connect to NinjaTrader through Rithmic. If you are not sure which connection your account uses, check the Connections menu in NinjaTrader or ask your prop firm before you buy. The free News Markers Lite pack does not have this limit, so it is the one to use on a Rithmic account. All sales are final, per the No Returns Policy.

Yes. News Markers PRO exposes its blackout state through public series a strategy can read directly: InNewsWindowSeries (1.0 while price is inside a news blackout window, 0.0 otherwise), MinutesToNextHighSeries, MinutesToNextMediumSeries, and UpcomingEventTitle. A strategy can use those to pause, flatten, or change behavior ahead of a high-impact release instead of trading into it.

Events are filtered by impact level — High, Medium, or Low — and then by currency. Auto-by-Instrument mode works out which currencies actually affect the instrument on your chart, while Custom Currency List mode lets you specify exactly which ones to display, so the chart is not cluttered with releases that cannot move your market.

A blackout window is a configurable period around an upcoming high-impact release. News Markers PRO tracks when price is inside one and reports it both on the chart and through a series your strategies can read, so you have a defined window to stand aside rather than judging it by eye.

All sales are final, per the No Returns Policy — digital tools can’t be returned. That is exactly why free Lite editions exist: try before you buy.
