SteelyFJNewsTicker

Streams real-time financial-news headlines into a clean panel on your NinjaTrader chart. Market-moving news lands in your field of view — no alt-tabbing to a browser, no second monitor, no missing the headline that just moved your instrument. It pings audio and flashes the panel when fresh news arrives, so you notice without staring.

A Forgotten Browser Tab vs. The Wire, Docked to Your Chart

Watching the news usually means a second screen or a browser tab you forget to refresh. SteelyFJNewsTicker brings the headlines into the platform, beside the chart you're already watching.

A separate browser tab that splits your attention away from the chart.

Easy to forget to refresh — so the headline that moved your instrument arrives late, if at all.

An API key or subscription to obtain and maintain just to see a news feed.

  • A docked WPF panel keeps the wire on the same screen as your trade.
  • An audio ping and panel flash pull your eyes up the instant fresh news lands.
  • No key, no subscription — it runs off the free public FinancialJuice feed.
  • Graceful rate-limit handling backs off and recovers on its own, so the panel keeps updating.

The news that moves your trade should be on the same screen as your trade.

What It Does

What It Does

Futures don't move in a vacuum. A surprise headline, a central-bank comment, a geopolitical print — they hit the tape before they hit your reasoning, and the trader watching the wire reacts first.

But keeping a browser open next to your platform means split attention and a tab you forget to refresh. SteelyFJNewsTicker closes that gap by bringing the wire into the platform itself, docked beside the chart you're already watching.

It runs off the free public FinancialJuice feed — no API key, no subscription, no account to link — and handles feed rate-limiting gracefully in the background, backing off and recovering on its own.

SteelyFJNewsTicker — On the Chart
Docked Headline Panel
A WPF panel anchored to your chart, scrolling the latest financial-news headlines in clean, readable type — the wire, on the same screen as your trade.
New-Headline Audio Ping
An optional sound when fresh news lands, so a headline can pull your eyes up from the DOM without you watching the panel.
Panel Flash
An optional visual flash when new headlines arrive — peripheral-vision awareness without an intrusive popup interrupting your workflow.
Adjustable Sizing
Font size scales for standard, high-DPI, and 4K displays, and the panel position is configurable so it sits exactly where you want it.
Set It and Forget It
A utility, not a workstation — a handful of settings, a small footprint, and a panel that stays out of the way of your signal indicators and price scale until a headline matters.
