A News Tool in a small detachable window would be a great feature. Ideally it could have some user selectable options, such as filters by rating or country or currency pair, for example. If this is too complicated, as simpler first version would suffice for now. Something like the one developed by Pipware for MT4 would be good. You can see that here:

Naturally, it should have 15 and 5 minute audible warnings to alert traders to news release times.

Hi DrPeter,
some kind of news implementation is needed as a standard within the Spotware platforms. This should not be left to the brokers to decide what kind of news service that will be delivered. It can be a second choice and a option for us traders but a standard news service should be delivered within the platforms from Spotware.
Hi Kricka,
Yes, I agree, broker independent is appropriate. I think it is important to improve on the approach to news delivery that MT4 offers too. Having it buried in a tab within the terminal window is pretty useless. A small window that can be placed within view and moved if necessary is the way to go, along with the features I've mentioned above.
There appears to be no shortage of news feeds that could be pulled into the tool. The one from Pipware uses the news feed from ForexFactory and it is quite satisfactory.
