News User Guide

I understand a lot of different trading strategies and principles including but not limited to support and resistance lines, option expiration and what different international news means, but I don't have the time to find this information or to draw these lines on multiple currency pairs every few hours. This plug-in puts all this information before me and also lets me know where large orders are rumored to be waiting, which is vital for a small trader.
